Adoption Center / Adopting out all fanlistings!

« on: May 08, 2012, 05:57:17 PM »

Hi,

I'm adopting out all my remaining fanlistings (really, it was inevitable). These last few fanlistings are the nearest and dearest to my heart, so I will be very picky with them. Please submit an application if you're interested

Subjects up for adoption:

D.N.Angel: Dark Mousy & Niwa Daisuke - [1 application]
Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou: Miyazawa Yukino
Koukou Debut - [1 application]
Kyou Kara Maou: Conrad Weller- [1 application]
Fruits Basket: Souma Kyou - [5 applications] - adopted out!
Magic Knight Rayearth - [2 applications]
Naruto: Hatake Kakashi - [1 application]
Shin Shunkaden

Please send one application per subject to shunkou@gmail.com, with the following information:

Subject line: Adoption - [subject] - [your name]
Your Name
Your Email
Your domain, and any shrine and/or fanlisting examples
Why you love this subject
Why you would be a good owner for this subject
Whether you want the codes or layout that I have up right now

New deadline: for now, let's say 7/13

Update 6/1: I'll probably make a decision for Kyou in the next couple of days, as I have 5 apps for him. Would probably wait a little longer for the other subjects. I'd like to see more apps for the other subjects, especially Kakashi. Frankly I'm surprised Kyou got more than he did, lol. So if you're still holding out, you should definitely submit an app

Update 6/5: Yukino is open for applications. The previous owner isn't taking her back after all. Please submit something if you're interested!

Update 6/22: I'm extending the application deadline as I haven't had time to make decisions yet. So if you didn't apply because of the deadline, please submit an application! I'm still accepting them

Let me know if there are any questions.

Thanks!

Hi!

The following fanlistings are up for adoption:

Bleach: Abarai Renji - adopted out!
Bleach: Soi Fong - adopted out!
D.N.Angel: Dark & Niwa Daisuke

If you'd like to adopt one (or more) of these fanlistings, please send me an email for each subject you're applying for, with the following information:

Subject line: Adoption - [subject name] - [your name]

Name
Email
URL/fanlisting examples
Why do you like the subject/why you want to run the fanlisting
Will you be making a new layout/codes for this fanlisting?

Please send the email to shunkou@gmail.com. Deadline for applications is February 4th. Depending on the volume of applications, I might extend the deadline. But I'm hoping to make a decision ASAP.

I've had some of these fanlistings for a long time, and was the sole owner of them since the beginning of TAFL... so I'm very attached to them and want to find a good owner for them! Serious applicants only, please!

Questions for the Senior Staff / Email change

« on: January 23, 2012, 06:18:26 PM »

Hi!

Sorry that I'm posting in this section again... I feel stupid because the whole situation kinda blew up in my face. In any case, rinne.nu expired, so I submitted a domain downtime report. At the time, (stupidly) I didn't realize that my email address rain@rinne.nu wouldn't work. So even though Buruma kindly replied to my post here at the Boards, I didn't receive the reply she sent for the downtime report. So my first question is, when do I have until to fix the problem?

#2, I just submitted an email change report, since (obviously) rain@rinne.nu is no longer working. But after I submitted, the page said that a confirmation was sent to rain@rinne.nu (the original email) and I have to confirm before my email can be changed. So since I can't receive emails at rain@rinne.nu, I can't confirm the request. So umm, what do I do now?

Sorry for the whole mess... x__X Thanks in advance!

Questions for the Senior Staff / Domain downtime form

« on: January 10, 2012, 04:27:05 PM »

Hi!

I sent in a domain downtime report a few days ago for rinne.nu (the email was rain@rinne.nu). I was just wondering if it was received. If not, I will resubmit.

Thanks!

Last attempt before I close this fanlisting. I'd really like to adopt it out because it has quite a number of fans and I really like her series

This adoption is for the Hatori Bisuko fanlisting. She is the mangaka of Ouran Koukou Host Club and Sennen no Yuki.

Please submit an application to rain {at} rinne.nu by January 7th, 2011, with the following:

Decisions will be made by January 10th.

Short and sweet :magic:

Layout Marathons / Layout Marathon Guidelines

« on: June 02, 2005, 02:30:57 PM »

Seeing as how layout marathons are becoming much like an epidemic here at the TAFL boards, here are some guidelines if you want to run your own =)

1. Post a new topic for each marathon you're thinking of running, in the Layout Marathon subforum.

2. Decide on a particular subject for the layouts for focus on. It could be anywhere from characters from 1 series, characters from series by one mangaka, bishounen/bishoujo characters, etc. Let your imagination run wild! But keep in mind that the broader your subject is, the more people might join the marathon =) Just a suggestion: try not to pick a subject that has been done recently. Otherwise, you might not get as many participants.

3. Check out whether there are other marathons currently running. When deciding when to run your marathon, make it so that it doesn't coincide with other marathons. Also, choose a comfortable time period to run the marathon. The usual is one month. If you are thinking of running a marathon concurrent with another one, try asking the owner of the other marathon. Also, mention that skinning is allowed in your rules so that participants can be in both marathons.

4. When posting about your marathon, have the few key facts in the first post:
Subject: the focus of the marathon, as described in guideline #2.
Date start: when all the layouts must be up by
Date end: the earliest date that all the layouts must stay up by, usually one month.
How to join: either have a separate join form or have people post in the thread
Who can join: domains, blogs, etc.
Any specific rules: basically your own rules, such as "one layout per characters/series".

5. Have some kind of linking system. If your marathon goes over 20 members, a button rotation is suggested since 20 buttons on a page might get tedious. But it's really up to the owner. If you're just using linking buttons, specify in your first post whether the buttons must be made by the participants or the owner of the marathon. Also, it's a good idea to jot down everyone's email so you can contact them easily.

6. You should update the first post with the participants list.

7. It might be nice if you have a FAQs page if your marathon starts getting large or if people start asking the same questions.

Again, these are just guidelines. Good luck and have fun marathoning!

Questions for the Senior Staff / how applications are decided

« on: February 20, 2005, 01:30:27 AM »

Umm, this might be a stupid question but I'll ask it anyway

Exactly how are applications decided? How do staffers choose who to give the fanlisting to? Is it first come first serve? Or those who don't have a lot of fls already? Or those who update their fls regularly? What are the criteria that staffers use to decide?

I'm just really curious. I mean, if I'm a staffer, I'd have a hard time choosing and think that it was an impartial decision. Oh, and if this is a forbidden question, please just forget I asked o__o

Questions for the Senior Staff / song fanlistings

« on: January 16, 2005, 05:56:10 PM »

Umm this question might have been kind of answered in a previous thread but I just want to make sure ^^

For fanlistings for songs that were used as anime opening or ending themes and were sung by JPop artists, would it be wise to apply to both the TAFL and TFL networks? I've seen some anime songs crosslisted with TFL and was wondering if that's the general procedure or just the choice of the owner. Are there cases where TAFL and TFL had two separate fanlistings for the same song (ie, two owners)?

Thanks a lot!
