So, we have a lot of fresh, new faces around these parts and we have a lot of older faces returning to us! With that in mind, it felt like TAFL could use a good "get to know you" activity - we've always been a pretty close community, but I figured, what the heck? Why not try and encourage that even more! :wub:
And so, you have a survey! Please, please, please keep your answers TAFL specific and follow the guidelines - 3 limit means 3 limit! >>; This is meant to encourage members of this community to get to know each other. If you find someone you have a lot in common with, go and get to know them better - this is just a jumping-off point! :wub: A friending meme without the actual "friending" being done here, LOL. Does that make sense?
This is meant to be a fun and active post, so have at it! :wub:

01. Your name
Marie - though there are many that call me Taichou which is awesome.
02. Total number of TAFL fanlistings
31! :wub: Who knew? Not I.
03. Do you have an FL collective?
I most certaintly do! It's at one .44 Caliber [LOVELETTER] (http://\"http://fan.get-fighted.net\"), and yes, it is fully loaded.
04. Who/What got you into TAFL?
The lovely Jenna, of pirate-queen.net, got me into fanlistings. :wub: She offered Luffy's fanlisting to me when TAFL was still part of TFL, and I accepted without even knowing what a fanlisting was, LOL. TAFL split about a year after I really got into them, and here we are. If you want to blame anyone for Marie being where she is today, I point you in Jenna's direction. :heart:
05. Which fanlisting owners inspire you the most? (Limit 3!)
Rose, because she runs this madhouse and puts up with all my shenanigans, Jackie because she's just so darn professional, and Saya, because she just has such a positive, can-do attitude! :wub:
06. Which fanlisting owners blow you away with their designs? (Limit 3!)
This is a tough one, because everyone really inspires me here - but I have to say Janice (http://\"http://fenali.net\"), Mitz (http://\"http://dokkasou.net\"), and Estee (http://\"http://mixed-metaphor.net\") are my big three! But seriously, everyone is just so impressive!
07. What's your favorite category?
I am totally biased and want to say Characters, but it's Characters N-Z. Like, half of my fandoms are in that section, LOL.
08. Which category do you have the most fanlistings in?
Again, Characters N-Z because of the pirates :wub: But Rels. is a very close second!
09. What's your favorite part of the fanlisting process?
Writing applications, definitely! Though I'm sure the rest of the staff wishes I would learn how to cut that shit down, lol But yeah, writing about why you love a subject has always been my favorite part of the whole process.
10. What’s your least favorite part of the fanlisting process?
Writing rejections. :) Definitely the hardest part of it all - for me, it's even harder than receiving them yourself. Pending apps. can be really stressful too, but orz. I just need to learn patience, I think. xD;
11. If you could apply for anything, no rules attached, what would it be?
Ichigo's bankai. Take that any way you want.
12. Favorite fanlisting layout?
Argh, such a hard choice! But Jani's Claire fanlisting (http://\"http://vino.fenali.net/\") continues to inspire me and is one of my favorite designs by her. Similarly, Dale's recent pirate conversion (http://\"http://pirate.sky-below.net\") really blew me away too, I will admit.
13. What's the first thing you do when you sign on the boards?
Check my category forums, LOL. /loser
14. What is your favorite forum?
Hot Topics! in Fanlisting Chit-Chat~
15. What's your favorite avatar?
The teachings of Kubology will always crack my shit up, so Wife's recent Halloween icon had me rolling. It was short-lived, so I'll have to laugh at Renji in the meantime. But he's used to that anyway.
16. What's something you've always wondered about TAFL &/or fanlistings?
I always wondered why people were so scared to talk to staffers, actually. Do we really give off this "RAWR! I'M GONNA EAT YOU!" feeling? Cause I swear, only one two a few actually would. :/
17. Did you know...?
That Monkey D. Luffy is going to be handed down in my family from generation to generation? Cause he is. No, really.
-
01. Your name
Tess! It's not my real name, but I'm not comfortable giving it out just yet. I know, I know, the opposite of what this survey is for. :heart:
02. Total number of TAFL fanlistings
Four! I was constantly applying over at TFL, that by the time I did get my first fanlisting here, I was a bit more cautious with my trigger finger.
03. Do you have an FL collective?
Yes!
04. Who/What got you into TAFL?
I was always aware of TAFL and it's existence, but I didn't actually starting applying until late 2007, early 2008, but didn't get approved until mid-2008.
05. Which fanlisting owners inspire you the most? (Limit 3!)
Chrizta (http://\"http://serenity-skies.net/\"), Kibou (http://\"http://c-minor.org/\") and Ren (http://\"http://licious.org\") hands down.
06. Which fanlisting owners blow you away with their designs? (Limit 3!)
Airi (http://\"http://pacificdusk.org/\"), Chrizta (http://\"http://serenity-skies.net/\") (NO, I don't have a hard-on for her!) and Kayleigh (http://\"http://sianach.org/\")!
07. What’s your favorite category?
Adult! (OK, Relationships...which could be a bit Adult.)
08. Which category do you have the most fanlistings in?
Characters 0-M (completely coincidental)
09. What’s your favorite part of the fanlisting process?
Building! You just put so much love into a fanlisting, and you show it off, not because you think it's particularly amazing, but because your heart and soul lies in that fanlisting...most definitely.
10. What’s your least favorite part of the fanlisting process?
Link buttons, though I admit working with animation is more exciting than working with, say, real-life photography.
11. If you could apply for anything, no rules attached, what would it be?
Sesshoumaru methinks!
12. Favorite fanlisting layout?
O-M-G (http://\"http://www.simple-type.org/ukitake/\"), I could look at this all day.
13. What’s the first thing you do when you sign on the boards?
Look at the active threads.
14. What is your favorite forum?
Off-Topic Chit-Chat...I know, something completely un-fanlisting related.
15. What’s your favorite avatar?
Everybody's but mine? :wub:
16. What’s something you’ve always wondered about TAFL &/or fanlistings?
Why a good number of people use "sweat drops" (I was told that, excuse my ignorance!) ( ; ) on their smilies? I know it's a sign of nervousness, or something, so is everybody nervous when they speak to people all the time? (This isn't meant to be mean, just a general question. I tried asking a friend, but she was too busy laughing, that bimbo. :wub:)
17. Did you know…?
My first "anime" was Sailor Moon, but I don't remember anything about it? Trufax, dolls!
-
01. Your name
I'm known online as Espo. Real name? What real name? /shifty Haha, okay, a fair few actually know it these days.
02. Total number of TAFL fanlistings
15 current with 2 upcoming. One of which I just noticed I submitted a finished form for but it hasn't seemed to have gone through, lol. /goes to redo
03. Do you have an FL collective?
Yup! Holding On (http://\"http://fan.fractured-memories.net/\") is my dear collective.
04. Who/What got you into TAFL?
Meli (http://\"http://board.animefanlistings.org/index.php?showuser=569\"); I think I found fanlistings through her and their existance as well when she talked about them in her blog way back when.
05. Which fanlisting owners inspire you the most? (Limit 3!)
I-I have to chose? Umm. Mila-san, Crystal and Aya inspire me a lot. But I get inspired by lodes of people.
06. Which fanlisting owners blow you away with their designs? (Limit 3!)
P-Probably the same as the above? I'm so bad at this. ;;
07. What’s your favorite category?
According to my owned, it's probably the characters catagory, but I equally like songs and relationships as well. Music, OTPs and amazing characters make the world go round. True story.
08. Which category do you have the most fanlistings in?
Characters N-Z with five, apparantly. Next is Characters A-M and Relationships.
09. What’s your favorite part of the fanlisting process?
I fairly much enjoy everything, but I must admit that the best part is always when I finish a listing and I really like it - the layouts, the codes, the about section. It's a great feeling. :wub:
10. What’s your least favorite part of the fanlisting process?
Probably image hunting for layouts or waiting for inspiration to strike. I had a block for a long time but recently broke out of it, so I just have to hope it doesn't come back again! :wub: Also, on the factor that 'this is the way life goes', that I have lodes of free time before an approval but as soon as an approval comes, I have no time to do any designing. Ahahaha. It's always frustrating when I want to do something but real life stops me.
11. If you could apply for anything, no rules attached, what would it be?
My Favourite Series: - Favourite Characters. That sounds absolutely ridiculous and you'd end up with millions if it did exist :heart:. But thinking about it, it would be nice to have a fanlisting for all the things I liked in one place.
12. Favorite fanlisting layout?
I've seen so many fanlistings lately that they all seem to blend into one. But I like simple layouts but also sometimes complicated ones. Anything that's pretty and nice.
13. What’s the first thing you do when you sign on the boards?
Board index and look at those teeny tiny boxes on the right hand side for the last time there was a post in that forum since I usually jump around them. I also check the time for it since I remember, somehow, the last time I was around. Yeah I have no life. OTL.
14. What is your favorite forum?
Hmm, possibly Hot Topics or Brand New Fanlistings (all the shinyness~) or Off-Topic Chit Chat.
15. What’s your favorite avatar?
I like various ones. Lol
16. What’s something you’ve always wondered about TAFL &/or fanlistings?
How fanlistings appeal to lots of different people from lots of different places and backgrounds and ages, and so on. :/ It's nice that it's so universal.
17. Did you know…?
I have run my fanlistings manually since starting: that being round about the end of 2004. I have er... several times... tried to coax enthusiast to work, but it eludes me. Manual actually doesn't bother me that much though. :wub:

04. Who/What got you into TAFL?

I don't own any female character FL and I'm terribly ashamed of that! =/

02. Total number of TAFL fanlistings
20!
03. Do you have an FL collective?
Er, currently in the making, I guess.
04. Who/What got you into TAFL?
Ah, I actually wish I remembered that, LOL. I do remember though that the first few fanlistings I joined were Arina Tanemura related. <33
05. Which fanlisting owners inspire you the most? (Limit 3!)
Rose, cause yeah, she runs this whole mess here :) And Marie, cause she's so dedicated and takes her job so seriously and serves as my handbook :P and will be cheating and say my RabuRabu TC Team cause each and every one of them is amazing and inspiring. :wub:
06. Which fanlisting owners blow you away with their designs? (Limit 3!)
Kippy, Rainie and Mitchii, for me too! But man, there are so many talented people here, 3 is wayyyy too little T___T
07. What's your favorite category?
:heart: :heart: :heart: x 478347 or well, Relationships, for various reasons ;)
08. Which category do you have the most fanlistings in?
Raburabu with 6! /clings to her OTPs
09. What's your favorite part of the fanlisting process?
Making the layout. It can be quite a pain too lalala, but I generally enjoy it the most (compared to making codes or coding, ew) To a certain degree I enjoy writing Apps too, only because it lets me spazz and go on and on about how much I love certain things and whatnot. :wub: /shot
10. What's your least favorite part of the fanlisting process?
Coding, cause it almost never works properly and is just annoying. Even though I've never had downright freaky coding experiences like another certain someone did. (cough)HowlTaichou(cough) I also don't like writing my occasional Rejection letters either. :(
11. If you could apply for anything, no rules attached, what would it be?
Sasuke's hair? Clothes? Eyes? Anything, really? Yeaaaaaaah, not sure. ETA; LOL, Marie just told me someone actually applied for Sasuke's boxers before - why haven't I thought of that yet? Oh, if only.

Off-Topic probably, or the Fanlisting Hot Topics.
15. What's your favorite avatar?
I actually really miss the times we had this Pretty-boy!theme going on and Chip and me were doing Massu and Tegoshi from NEWS, LOL. But then again, there's always the chance someone might overread the "pretty" part and do Takuya of UVER. Who was that again...? /runs
But currently, I really like Tess' icon! Hitsu! <3
16. What's something you’ve always wondered about TAFL &/or fanlistings?
LOL, I'm not really sure about that one, but I laugh at Marie's answer here cause I'm fairly sure she's the only one of us staffers that gives off those, "ZOMG! I'M GONNA EAT YOU." vibes. Seriously.
17. Did you know...?
That I have the most amazing idea ever for the next TAFL-ish event? Ahaha, no really. ;) /goes plotting
-

I was a newbie at TFL when TAFL came to life: I just went on and registered here as well. And applied for a subject open for apps.

Here at TAFL... I really know few owners, can't really choose. :P
06. Which fanlisting owners blow you away with their designs? (Limit 3!)

12. Favorite fanlisting layout?
Can't choose! Naruto series (http://\"http://mycurry.net/naruto/\") is the first that comes to my mind.
13. What’s the first thing you do when you sign on the boards?
Check the Hot topics forum
14. What is your favorite forum?
Hot topics, because I'm too lazy to check the updates... :(
15. What's your favorite avatar?
I always love Mitzrael's Uchiha ones.
16. What's something you’ve always wondered about TAFL &/or fanlistings?
Why owners decide to close or let the fanlistings die instead of adopting them out. *spotted an old fanlisting of hers closed down during the latest check*
17. Did you know...?
... the fanlistings I own are mostly kill-fors and wishlister, so I'll never let one go easily? :heart:

Ahahaha and that's not even counting the other 20 or so from tfl. :heart: I am, decidedly, crazy. Or lazy. Take your pick. That and at one time I did own almost 90 fanlistings...

Yupp (http://\"http://utsukushiki-yami.org\")
04. Who/What got you into TAFL?
As for me, I can't remember how I discovered these cute buttons to show that you are fan of. It must have been a website I stumbled upon back in 2005. I loved the idea behind these buttons and so I started joining them. I had a (very crappy xD) blog at this time, but since all of my friends had, it was cool and I started to add these tiny 50x50 buttons to an extra section to show what I love. I joined not obsessive as I do now, I only joined the subjects I loved the most.
Back in October 2007, I moved my blog and with that, I went through my joined fanlistings to see if the fanlistings are still active. Most of them has moved or were dead links, and so I went through and updated the links. When I was looking for the new fanlisting dedicated to the character of Kunzite (Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon) I was shocked because there was no current fanlisting. It took me 5 minutes until I wrote my first application. I haven't any experience with an own domain or running a fanlisting but I just couldn't resist. Kunzite is my most favourite anime / manga character and I was thrilled to maybe run his approved fanlisting. After sending my application, I continued to update the dead links of my joined fanlistings... And when I saw that the relationship between Sailor Venus / Aino Minako & Kunzite didn't have a fanlisting anymore too I sent in a second application :heart:. And this was also the first fanlisting I was approved for. It took over a month to get a reply for my application I sent in for Kunzite (I didn't knew anything about the updates xD) but when I was approved, it was an amazing feeling =D. And the rest is history xD.

It's always great to receive an approval xD. I also love making the layout

Pending applications X___X
11. If you could apply for anything, no rules attached, what would it be?
Erhm... maybe the transformation of the Sailor Senhsi? Or Chiaki / Maron from KKJ^^. I am very happy with my wishlisters I got, so I'm not sure^^.
12. Favorite fanlisting layout?
There are a lot layouts I adore, so I can't pick my favourite^^
13. What’s the first thing you do when you sign on the boards?
Checking for new postes
14. What is your favorite forum?
Hot Topics
15. What's your favorite avatar?
All avatars are cool <3
16. What's something you’ve always wondered about TAFL &/or fanlistings?
Who invented fanlistings?
17. Did you know...?
... that I mainly own male characters (apart from pokemon) and I don't know why?
-
01. Your name
Jackie
02. Total number of TAFL fanlistings
33 unique fanlistings (6 of which are only listed at TAFL because there are manga versions of video games...)
03. Do you have an FL collective?
Yup, over here (http://\"http://fan.psyche.nu/\"), though I need to rename it and give it a new layout someday.
04. Who/What got you into TAFL?
I was browsing websites and saw some fanlistings. I checked out TFL (back when it was .net), but I admittedly wasn't too interested in them at first. Eventually, for reasons that I don't remember, I decided to apply for some FLs. My first fanlistings were for Witch Hunter Robin and Berserk, back when TAFL was still a part of TFL - actually, I think Danielle hadn't even joined TFL's staff yet. :wub:
05. Which fanlisting owners inspire you the most? (Limit 3!)
Lots of people, particularly TAFL staffers and ex-staffers! :heart: And my fellow TAFL senior staffers, of course :heart:
06. Which fanlisting owners blow you away with their designs? (Limit 3!)
Janicechu, Sarahchu, Annikins~
07. What's your favorite category?
Probably the Characters categories, with no particular preference for either
08. Which category do you have the most fanlistings in?
Characters 0-M with 13 unique fanlistings~!
09. What's your favorite part of the fanlisting process?
I like writing applications when I have a lot to say. But getting approved is honestly my favorite part <3 (lol, I'm so shallow). I also like making layouts if I'm feeling inspired - I enjoy it a lot less if I have layout block.
10. What's your least favorite part of the fanlisting process?
Rejections - both getting them and sending them out. :( Also, making codes if I don't have any good images to use. :wub: (When I have a lot of great images, I love making them. <3)
11. If you could apply for anything, no rules attached, what would it be?
This is a toughie. I'm not a fan of character group fanlistings, so I don't think I'd apply for those, and there honestly aren't too many relationships with more than 3 characters that I'd want to apply for. The only "version" of a character I think I'd want to apply for is hollow Ichigo from Bleach because he's fun, crazy, and a badass. ;)
lol, Marie, you perv... Ichigo's bankai really IS super hot though~
12. Favorite fanlisting layout?
I admire lots of people's layouts, so I couldn't choose just one. Maybe one per person, lol, but that would take too long to list. My favorite layout from my fanlistings is Haruka x Michiru (http://\"http://www.eternalsailormoon.org/destined/\").
13. What’s the first thing you do when you sign on the boards?
Check the staffer forums, then Adoptions, then Fanlistings Chit-Chat. ;)
14. What is your favorite forum?
Fanlistings Chit-Chat~
15. What's your favorite avatar?
Marie's '09 Halloween icon. YOU WILL BE MISSED, WONDERFUL ICON ;;
16. What's something you’ve always wondered about TAFL &/or fanlistings?
I don't understand people who seem to despise fanlistings and TAFL, yet they still apply for fanlistings here anyway. :heart:
17. Did you know...?
Not including Pokemon or Mokona (who are all kind of genderless, though you could argue Pikachu and Pochama are boys) or any of the crosslisted video game characters, only one of my character fanlistings is for a male. The rest (all 11 of them) are for females. (Though, to be fair, I applied for and was rejected for three of my top 5 male characters, so it's not all my fault. I do love female characters a lot more though...)
Also, I used to have an actual written fanlisting will, but that got punted once my "beneficiaries" started cutting back on or dropping out of fanlistings. Now I have a semi-sorta-mental will for some of them :P
[quote name='Estefania']16. What's something you've always wondered about TAFL &/or fanlistings?
Why are some FLs that aren't new or have a new URL sometimes linked from the updates blog and others aren't? Like, when they resolve their troubles and stuff? /LOL RANDOM QUESTION[/quote]
The F/U/C staffer and Troubles staffer for larger categories are usually different, so they don't have access to each other's forms. If a fanlisting is on troubles for a dead link and the problem is resolved, the Troubles staffer may update the link in the database, then list the new URL under "Removed from Troubles/Problems Resolved" instead of having the F/U/C staffer do it. <3

01. Your name
Please continue believing that my real name is Shalott.
02. Total number of TAFL fanlistings
45! :wub:
03. Do you have an FL collective?
Of course, here @ Mysterique Sign (http://\"http://fan.nameless-way.com\")
04. Who/What got you into TAFL?
Hmm, back when I was starting to re-discover webdesign, I remembered about TFL. I had always wanted to apply for a fanlisting, but never felt my design skills were good enough. I was lurking around that network when I discovered TAFL linked there and immediately felt more comfortable here- in fact, my first fanlisting was at this network!
05. Which fanlisting owners inspire you the most? (Limit 3!)
Mitzrael and Jordy always inspired me from the beginning - they were the first people to talk to me on these message boards! :heart: I am also really inspired by the staffers here, who always give their best to the network!
06. Which fanlisting owners blow you away with their designs? (Limit 3!)
Mitzrael again, Sarah and Annie. :heart:
07. What's your favorite category?
My favorite category is probable Relationships. :heart:
08. Which category do you have the most fanlistings in?
I seem to own the most fanlistings in Characters - 12 each in 0-M and N-Z.
09. What's your favorite part of the fanlisting process?
Probably writing the applications, as well, ha ha. Mine are sometimes pretty dorky though, so I feel bad for those who have to read them.
10. What's your least favorite part of the fanlisting process?
CODES. MAKING THOSE DANG CODES.
11. If you could apply for anything, no rules attached, what would it be?
GAMMA'S MULLET, OMG. :wub:
12. Favorite fanlisting layout?
I don't think I could pick a favorite from all of the beautiful layouts made by other owners. <3 If I had to pick a favorite of mine, I would say Fujiwara Gin (http://\"http://nameless-way.com/gin/\") or Fuwa Sho (http://\"http://nameless-way.com/fuwa/\") - both pretty much capture what I feel is the "essence" of my design aesthetics.
13. What’s the first thing you do when you sign on the boards?
View the new posts.
14. What is your favorite forum?
Hmm... I wouldn't say I have a favorite. ;)
15. What's your favorite avatar?
This one (http://\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/ladyshalott/gamma_02.jpg\"), that Wendy made for me for last years Secret Santa event. He's so hot~!
16. What's something you’ve always wondered about TAFL &/or fanlistings?
Why do people act as if a rejection is personal? I see posts where people say things like "Rejected again, I guess I am just not good enough" and that actually hurts my feelings as a staffer - I'd be happy to discuss with you why your application was not approved, so please don't take the rejection personally!
17. Did you know...?
That I am secretly planning on taking over the network and re-naming it The Anime Fanlistings Network of Kubology.
... HA HA, JUST KIDDING.
... MAYBE.

05. Which fanlisting owners inspire you the most? (Limit 3!)
There are too many :wub: , so 3 names aren't really enough :heart:

Both Characters, followed by Series

I enjoy all the process, really and especially the skinning part (because I love so much making skins).

Why people can choose brilliant name for their listings and I usually always fail at it ??!!

04. Who/What got you into TAFL?
I started building FLs when TFL used to own everything, left when TFL and TAFL parted ways and now I blame Kula and Yamila mostly for my return. I wasn't even expecting to come back though, I'm not that into anime that much nowadays unless it's Gundam or SS related :wub:.

CHARACTERS. See I'm a very narrow minded person.
09. What's your favorite part of the fanlisting process?
Write the application, and once I got approved, work on the "About". I love praising the subject I applied for. Building the layout is fun as well because I'm an idiot and love twitting about the progress of it (and seek for crit about it).
10. What's your least favorite part of the fanlisting process?
Hmm not sure about this one. I do get frustrated with rejections, but I try to take it like a man lol.

I have no idea. I already run most of the subjects I am interested.
12. Favorite fanlisting layout?
Treize (http://\"http://fan.sakigake.org/13/\"). It has a special place in my heart because well, it was the one I did to come back to the biz. I never thought I'd be able to actually code it but people helped me and there you go. I still can't believe it works >_>
13. What’s the first thing you do when you sign on the boards?

I don't know really, I've only used the Sniper Wolf one I'm using right now and feel kind of lazy to change it, since I love MGS.
16. What's something you’ve always wondered about TAFL &/or fanlistings?
I wonder what do people think when they read my apps OTL

I am incredibly harsh on self judging and will probably never feel accomplished with the layout/fanlisting.

Urm. How staffers & trouble checkers get picked, etc.
17. Did you know...?
I'm really sad that I don't have more TAFL fanlistings in my collective. D:
-
01. Your name
I've been using the nickname Buruma since middle school. Too many people say or spell my real name incorrectly.
02. Total number of TAFL fanlistings
21
03. Do you have an FL collective?
Yes. Imaginary (http://\"http://imaginary.nu\").
04. Who/What got you into TAFL?
I think I joined the community the same week it was launched. I had been stalking the anime/manga category at TFL for over a year prior to the split.
05. Which fanlisting owners inspire you the most? (Limit 3!)
It's hard to choose just three people. Probably Annie, Jackie and Mitz.
06. Which fanlisting owners blow you away with their designs? (Limit 3!)
Again, I could easily think of more than three, but... Annie, Janice and Yamila.
07. What's your favorite category?
Characters and Series
08. Which category do you have the most fanlistings in?
Characters 0-M
09. What's your favorite part of the fanlisting process?
That's easy. Making new codes. :wub: It's the only part I'm good at. :heart:
10. What's your least favorite part of the fanlisting process?
Like Mitz, I hate filling out closed forms.
11. If you could apply for anything, no rules attached, what would it be?
Xelloss (Slayers)
12. Favorite fanlisting layout?
At the moment, Anime Soundtracks (http://\"http://imaginary.nu/anime/\").

Read the latest posts, check the category forums, etc...
14. What is your favorite forum?
Hot Topics
15. What's your favorite avatar?
Hard to say. Marie's Halloween avatar was probably my favorite this month. (And I don't even like Bleach.) :heart:
16. What's something you’ve always wondered about TAFL &/or fanlistings?
I've always wondered why some people close fanlistings that have been online for a relatively short time (e.j. less than two months)... What was the point of starting that fanlisting in the first place?
17. Did you know...?
I dislike nearly every layout I have ever designed. (Which is why I almost never post in the Shameless Self-Promotion area.) :heart:

Urm. How staffers & trouble checkers get picked, etc.[/quote]
Trouble Checkers are hired on an "as needed" basis - when a Troubles staffer feels they need some additional help, they go through our list of volunteers and pick someone who has (typically) selected their category. Staffers are hired based on a larger and more varied group of factors, and again, as needed. Rose spends a lot of time combing through applications and hires when she feels she's found a suitable match. :wub: For more information, definitely visit the Volunteers (http://\"http://www.animefanlistings.org/volunteers.php\") page.

*nods* A lot of times, if you are interested in Trouble Checking, you have a better chance of being hired on if you choose a "less popular" category as your interest - Characters has A LOT of volunteers, but Episodes (for example) gets very few. If you do well in the category you were hired on to, the chances of you getting an opportunity to work with one of the bigger and more popular categories becomes present.

[quote name='Marie' post='270044' date='Nov 4 2009, 01:59 PM']16. What's something you've always wondered about TAFL &/or fanlistings?
I always wondered why people were so scared to talk to staffers, actually. Do we really give off this "RAWR! I'M GONNA EAT YOU!" feeling? Cause I swear, only one two a few actually would. :heart:[/quote]
I, personally, am quite petrified of the staffers (I'm shy, OK?), but I think maybe it's the tone? By that I mean, normally staffers/senior staffers recommend their staffers (+ themselves) use a professional tone of voice when staffing, to give it that neutral ground. I don't know if I'm explaining that right, but for instance someone sends me an approval e-mail (even if they are automated, but pretend they're not):
Yo! You got the [insert subject here] fanlisting! DUUUUDE, you're so lucky. The drill: build it, have fun, make a ton of codes and BE ON TIME. If you don't the whip will be out and ready. Chow, babycakes! ;D
I mean, I'd be a little put off if I received that, and would have a hard time taking it seriously. :heart: From conversations with others, I think a number of people forget the staffers don't spend their entire lives staffing; it's an automatic (and incorrect) assumption for people to think that staffers handle situations like that all the time, and there's sometimes a general fear that staffers won't like us commoners. :wub: That's my two cents, anyway!
[quote name='Sarah' post='270050' date='Nov 4 2009, 03:57 PM']15. What's your favorite avatar?
I actually really miss the times we had this Pretty-boy!theme going on and Chip and me were doing Massu and Tegoshi from NEWS, LOL. But then again, there's always the chance someone might overread the "pretty" part and do Takuya of UVER. Who was that again...? /runs
But currently, I really like Tess' icon! Hitsu! <3[/quote]
Heee, thanks, sweetness (it was me, right? :wub:)! I'm normally pretty terrible at icons, but it's hard to mess up Hitsu. :heart:

[quote name='Rain' post='270060' date='Nov 4 2009, 11:55 PM']16. What's something you’ve always wondered about TAFL &/or fanlistings?
Who invented fanlistings?[/quote]
The fanlisting concept was an idea of Janine (later the TFL founder), when she wanted a site to list the fans of Buffy The Vampire Slayer tv show (this fanlisting is still online, by the way!) :wub:
-
[quote name='Tess' post='270101' date='Nov 5 2009, 02:47 PM']From conversations with others, I think a number of people forget the staffers don't spend their entire lives staffing; it's an automatic (and incorrect) assumption for people to think that staffers handle situations like that all the time, and there's sometimes a general fear that staffers won't like us commoners. :wub: That's my two cents, anyway![/quote]That's an interesting way to see it indeed, but seriously we're not that scary :wub: sure we have to put on a neutral tone
most of the time when staffing and that I can think of there's no other tone beside 'formal' to do so x: I guess it can be off-putting but in order to not fall in bias or 'favor' friends/known members it must be used.
Anyway, it doesn't mean we don't have our own problems and lives like everybody else :heart: but, as I'm sure you've seen yourself we're just as any other person around, even if we carry additional responsibilities, and have fun at this :heart: community! :heart:

Rejections are certainly no fun, but i don't get upset about them. So probably the worst would be the wait for pending apps.

Maybe the series Pandora Hearts? I don't know, there are far too many to choose from. ><

Despite the fact that I said I was petrified, I still enjoy TAFL and the staff here! I've worked with you and Rileth with the Songs category, and you both were/are so nice, it's stunning how much patience you have! Not saying we're all a handful, but I'm sure an angry/annoying fanlisting owner has made an appearance or two (...I may or may not be one of them? :)...).
No, I understand completely that you all have lives, and I love seeing you outside TAFL (that sounds bad), because even *I* sometimes forget, and I'm very much the believer in leave-fanlistings-at-the-computer stuff. As you said, everybody is just the same, if not a bit different!

For 1, I understand this completely! It's so nifty in PSP/Photoshop/GIMP, but after it's coded and up, the dazzle has sizzled away. (Or maybe that's me.) As for number two, well...:heart: Evil = good, good = bad!

TAFL's logo/layout were designed by Lenneth, one of the original Senior Staffers. :) The font face is a special one that required purchase, but whose name escapes me at present. It's become quite the staple, right? ;) Every time I see the color combination, I instantly think of TAFL, LOL.
As a side-note: It's so interesting to see everyone's answers/thoughts/questions/etc. :pirate: CHARACTERS FOREVER! *waves flag*

Absolutely no offense meant, but I've always wondered how some people can manage owning a big number of fanlistings! I already have trouble with the amount I have, which I consider to be a lot for myself XD;[/quote]
It's all thanks to the wonder that is fanlisting management scripts. If it was not for Enthusiast, I would not be able to own the amount of fanlistings I do.

Almost all of the people who frequented the anime/manga categories at TFL moved over with us to the new network and as the years have passed, lots more people have found us. ;)

I can't say why the first person made it, but I made mine when I started having more than a 'few' fanlistings. It's a great way to showcase all of them and they're just fun and pretty (who needs a better excuse than that?).
Also, I too always wonder why people think staffers are scary/mean/will bite their heads off. We're such a fun quirky bunch, but I guess when you have to sometimes reject and/or make decisions that effect groups of people it can make people think of you differently. I do kind of get the whole wonder/awe thing though. I was an still am a total Danielle fangirl and it boggles my mind I got/get to be friends with her.
As to hiring people: Marie is right, deciding on new hires takes lots and lots of time and energy, but it is always so rewarding when I get to tell people they're being offered a position. I love doing it over im so I can witness the reaction in real time. :)

01. Your name
Rosemary
02. Total number of TAFL fanlistings
A lot.
03. Do you have an FL collective?
Yup, The Flames of Addiction (http://\"http://fan.whiteplums.com/coll\")
04. Who/What got you into TAFL?
I shall blame the Rurouni Kenshin series for my addiction. Buffy got me into fanlistings in general, though, since the series fanlisting was the first one I ever joined.
05. Which fanlisting owners inspire you the most? (Limit 3!)
Danielle, Mitzrael, and Marie.
06. Which fanlisting owners blow you away with their designs? (Limit 3!)
Same as above!
07. What's your favorite category?
Relationships
08. Which category do you have the most fanlistings in?
Relationships
09. What's your favorite part of the fanlisting process?
Making codes!
10. What's your least favorite part of the fanlisting process?
Coding layouts.
11. If you could apply for anything, no rules attached, what would it be?
Rurouni Kenshin Jinchuu Arc.
12. Favorite fanlisting layout?
Noriko (http://\"http://fan.whiteplums.com/noriko\")'s layout I think.
13. What’s the first thing you do when you sign on the boards?
Check the staff forums.
14. What is your favorite forum?
Hmm, fanlisting chit-chat probably.
15. What's your favorite avatar?
Usually my current one is my favorite. I'm loving on my current Anatolia Story one.
16. What's something you’ve always wondered about TAFL &/or fanlistings?
Owning it kind of takes the mystery away so there isn't anything about TAFL I have a question about, lol. Something that has always boggled my mind: Why do people sometimes adopt out 'wishlist' fanlistings (especially if they haven't had them very long)?
17. Did you know...?
It breaks my heart every time a staffer has to leave staff. :pirate: Also, it makes me proud that I've been staffing/involved with anime/manga categories since before TAFL existed. We don't have too many staffers left who can say that! (Though saying that does make me feel kind of old, haha)

That will always confuse me - why publicly say you don't like fanlistings, if you're just going to apply for one the next day? >>; If you don't like something, isn't it better to just, you know... not be involved with it? :pirate: It's frustrating, to say the least.
New questions! ;) *continues to be bored at work*
18. Which do you prefer: applying for adoptions or applying at the Network?
19. If you could make any one thread at TAFL, what would it be?
Something crazy? Something nerdy? Something that would never be allowed? Something that has potential?
20. You associate (member/group) with (subject) ?
Example! You associate TAFL with fanlistings! OR You associate Trouble Checkers with Ghostbusters it's the green!
-
ok let's try, taichou you come up with most interesting questions, you know?
18. Which do you prefer: applying for adoptions or applying at the Network?
Actualy I'm not sure about it, I always have the same problem with both - expressing my love for the subject, so I think don't prefere eather of them, i like them both the same way.
19. If you could make any one thread at TAFL, what would it be?
........that's a tought question, because I'm not a person who is good at making new threads... actually....... i really don't know what that would be - I think I'm quite narrowminded when it comes to stuff (me is all manga/anime/websites mind... ok xxxholic mind), maybe a season thread... idk *fails* I'm so sorry ç____ç i so fail at stuff like this
20. You associate (member/group) with (subject) ?
Senior staffers = Olympus (Should I also give every staffer a greek god?)
Category staffers = myth. heroes (demi-gods - at least one parent is a god)
Truble Chackers = myth. beasts (you know those who guard, check and stuff)
I so suck with associating T.T
-
18. Which do you prefer: applying for adoptions or applying at the Network?
Ah, that's a tough one, since they are very different, but... personally, at the Network, I think. Adoptions are a much more personal process to be involved in - I always end up second guessing myself: Did I write too much? Did I say what I wanted to say? Are my feelings going to get through to this person? And then there's the whole period where you wonder if the person is even going to go through with the adoption and blah blah blah. Don't get me wrong - I've adopted some of my favorite characters, but most of them were from friends. I guess, as a staffer, I'm just used to the process and so there's a lot less "stress", so to speak, when applying at the Network. Plus, I know someone will get back to me and etc. *probably seems like a nut*
19. If you could make any one thread at TAFL, what would it be?
A thread for Kubology, definitely.
20. You associate (member/group) with (subject) ?
I actually associate most people with Characters, LOL. And that's how I keep them straight in my head. Like, Mitz = Kaname, Jackie = Rukia, Dale = Sasuke, etc. I associate most people with a character that I strongly relate them too, and even in situations where it's not needed. The only person I don't really associate a character with is Wife, because she is plagued by Kubo, LOL. And that's a lie, because Wife = Gamma

18. Which do you prefer: applying for adoptions or applying at the Network?
omg! I dunno ;) when it's at the network ,and above all when it's in my own categories, I have to annoy the staffer army with my babbling and whatnot :) even if my moto which is not in use right now so don't give me the look is apply now and do not regret afterward, make sense? So at times I'm more into adoptions 8D but really both are equally fun to apply to!

18. Which do you prefer: applying for adoptions or applying at the Network?
Well, to be truthful, I'd say I enjoy both as well~ Both is just as easy and hard at the same time~ :3
19. If you could make any one thread at TAFL, what would it be?
Maybe I would make a thread called... "What are your current obsessions?" or something like that? Well, it does sound kinda old. :pirate:
20. You associate (member/group) with (subject) ?
Erm... Like Marie-san, I often see other fanlisting owners and my friends as characters (which they like)~ ;)
Like... Nekoi Echizen = Ritona Yoko, Saya-san = Yuuko, Mitzrael-san = Yes -> Kaname, Skyria = Princess Sakura (of Tsubasa) and etc, etc~ :)
-
18. Which do you prefer: applying for adoptions or applying at the Network?
To be painfully honest... at the Network. Not that I don't like applying for adoptions (it's great to, let's say, form a bond with the previous owner coz you're taking care of their baby! :pirate: ), but it isn't necessary to write stuff so >_>
19. If you could make any one thread at TAFL, what would it be?

o_o eh... never thought about this (I don't tend to put people in groups...) but if I think of it, probably the ranks in Naruto (only that there are like 5/6 Sannin instead of 3 XD)
But like Marie, I also tend to associate people with characters xDDD Saya = Yuuko, Nekoi = Yoko, Wen = Neil, Marie = Ichigo, Mitzie = Kaname, Masao = Alle and so on xDDDD inb4 Mila = Graham

So! /has now more time for the rest of the questions and shall keep spamming the boards mwahaha
18. Which do you prefer: applying for adoptions or applying at the Network?
Hmmm. I actually think I've had more luck with adoptions in the past, not sure why. *ponders* But I think I prefer applying at the Network too.
19. If you could make any one thread at TAFL, what would it be?
LOL. >>; I think I'm happy with our current threads <3 Even tho I need to go look for my Jdrama topic one of these days ahaha~
20. You associate (member/group) with (subject) ?
Hmmm, I don't really associate people with Characters. I do associate people with different shades of pink though (cough) For example! Chip = light pink, aranee = darker pink, Jani = almost purple (but a light purple!), Marie = super super super SUPER pink! :wub: ♥♥ Etc!
...I wonder if that's weird, but I swear it's the truth. People give me pink vibes. *nods* At least most do, we won't go into the rest. (cough) ;)
Oh, but I also associate/relate random stuff to people. Like, Jackieness = squirrels and Sasuke is rainbows and hearts! Eh, but hm. Marie = 4323834 hearts too so I'm right when I say they totally have something in common :blink: Aaand Saya reminds me of a cat!
... /feels sort of random but omg still want to be Pegasus
-
18. Which do you prefer: applying for adoptions or applying at the Network?
I think applying at the network since, in a general sense, I know what to expect. Adoptions are very dependent upon each individual subject and the fanlisting owner. But I've been approved for fanlistings very dear to me both via the network and via adoptions, so I can't really complain either way <3<3
19. If you could make any one thread at TAFL, what would it be?

20. You associate (member/group) with (subject) ?
LOL, everyone's associations are all so cute! *is definitely a squirrel~* <3<3<3 And I claim dibs on Athena. *gives Sarahchu some wings~*
Mmm. I don't know what I really associate people with - probably characters, relationships, and series. Sarah is a chipmunk in my mind but also Sasuke; Buru is forever Chibiusa to me; Mitz is Uchiha!cest; Marie is Luffy and Ichigo!jailbait; Shal is Just Kaien; Rose is Tomoe; and so on. :blink:

18. Which do you prefer: applying for adoptions or applying at the Network?
Adoptions, definitely! There's sometimes less (but not always!) applying on other people's part, and for me, the rejection doesn't sting as much? Or maybe my emotions are shot...
19. If you could make any one thread at TAFL, what would it be?
IDK if the threads I have in mind are here and I'm blind, but threads like these! TFL (sorry for the reference!) has various threads in the TC forum about favourite music, favourite movies, favourite (fictional) characters, etc., and they are really fun. Now that I think of it, there are threads like those here, but I just like answering questions.
20. You associate (member/group) with (subject) ?
Sometimes various forms of ninjas come to mind on this one. No idea which ninjas, just ninjas. (Though the Senior Staff give up this kingly vibe, so I automatically think Zeus! Hades! Various Kings of England! I wanted to write a story based off the SS and their almighty power...)

-
18. Which do you prefer: applying for adoptions or applying at the Network?
At the Network, over all. Adoptions are stressful because unless the person is a friend, I don't really know what to expect from them - was my application long enough, detailed enough or are the going to find something lacking in either my application or myself? Stuff like that causes me constant worry, which is not present with applications at the Network.

[quote name='Saya' post='270328' date='Nov 9 2009, 02:26 PM']20. You associate (member/group) with (subject) ?
Senior staffers = Olympus (Should I also give every staffer a greek god?)
Category staffers = myth. heroes (demi-gods - at least one parent is a god)
Truble Chackers = myth. beasts (you know those who guard, check and stuff)[/quote]
lol, that's an original idea :P, although I find it difficult to think at people here on these terms (characters are way easier)
Peraphs I could be Aeneas (and just because he was decent enough in both the Aeneid than in the Divina Commedia, which aren't half bad to study).
Btw most myths don't have a nice ending :wub:
My turn!
01. Your name
Giorgia (I wonder why almost everybody mispell it ;))
02. Total number of TAFL fanlistings
More or less 90
03. Do you have an FL collective?
*runs and hide* I'm still under the process of revamping it (damn Enth) so it's still on hiatus
04. Who/What got you into TAFL?
Honestly, I can't remember. I think the first time I got into fanlistings was around 2001. I found out about them due to the codes on the site of a friend and I wanted to find out what they were about. I remember that I was disappointed in not finding some fanlistings for some subjects I really loved, but I wasn't actually thinking about making any (also because I had no idea on how to create a website in the first place). Later on I decided to give it a try. I used to have some animefanlistings before the creation of TAFL, but nowadays I don't think I still own any of them :lol:
05. Which fanlisting owners inspire you the most? (Limit 3!)
Only 3? This is cruel ;). I'd say Mitz, Marie and Sarah
06. Which fanlisting owners blow you away with their designs? (Limit 3!)
Same as above?
07. What's your favorite category?
Ehrm I love all the categories, can't make a choice :P
08. Which category do you have the most fanlistings in?
Characters N-Z :blink:
09. What's your favorite part of the fanlisting process?
Building the fanlisting and sometimes writing the application (but it depends on the mood and on the subject)
10. What's your least favorite part of the fanlisting process?
The codes. I don't really hate making them, but I can't really choose when I have too many images and how to cut them, I envy the pretty codes made by some people here,
11. If you could apply for anything, no rules attached, what would it be?
Ah ah nice question. I just have to convince myself to apply for Camus or Saint Seiya :yes:
12. Favorite fanlisting layout?
There are too many layouts I love, definetely.
13. What’s the first thing you do when you sign on the boards?
I usually check new messages, although it doesn't have to be something I'm completely interested in.
14. What is your favorite forum?
Fanlistings Chit-Chat.
15. What's your favorite avatar?
Dunno. I usually don't mind that much avatars (maybe because I'm too lazy to regullary make new ones)
16. What's something you’ve always wondered about TAFL &/or fanlistings?
I add myself to the crew of those who "don't understand why people complain or dislike fanlistings". I think that most of those who make negative comments about fanlisting don't understand what they are. Some say they are a waste of time, but who cares, if it's free time it doesn't really matter if it's something useful or not. Than, I find fanlistings useful. Thanks to them I opened my mind to new things, some of which became my favourite. I think they are an original way to learn something new
17. Did you know...?
I have tried all the scripts plus manual updating for my fanlistings. Scripts are actually so useful, but manual updating was peraphs more fun.
18. Which do you prefer: applying for adoptions or applying at the Network?
I'd say the network, because I don't really check that frequently adoption threads and sometimes I apply too late.
19. If you could make any one thread at TAFL, what would it be?
I think there are enough interesting threads.
20. You associate (member/group) with (subject) ?
I do associate some people with some particular characters, but I find it a little difficult with groups.
-
*puts Marie and Sarah on the spot* Inquiring minds want to know what shade of pink and character I am!
You associate (member/group) with (subject) ?
I tend to associate everyone with the fanlisting(s) they own.

.. maybe I should post the rest too. *ponders*
-
18. Which do you prefer: applying for adoptions or applying at the Network?
If I have to say it bluntly, I prefer adoptions, but only because opening a fanlisting from scratch makes me really sad ( hate when members list gets lost :wub:). Anyway, as long as I'm in love with the subject, it doesn't really matter.
But, generally, I quote Marie's answer, because she's got the point!
19. If you could make any one thread at TAFL, what would it be?
I surf this board very little, so I'm not the right person to ask this question. ._.
20. You associate (member/group) with (subject) ?
I usually associate the owners to a fanlisting of theirs, except for Marie who is Luffy/One Piece and Mitz who is Uchihacest (ok, both of them have the actual fanlisting of that subject so :blink: )
[quote name='Saya' post='270328' date='Nov 9 2009, 02:26 PM']20. You associate (member/group) with (subject) ?

I so suck with associating T.T[/quote]

:wub: :lol:
You guys have such interesting answers! *really loves this activity*
-
*blushes at all the mentions of me* :yes: Fiiiiiinally getting around to filling this myself:
01. Your name
Kibou. It's an alias. I picked it because it means 'hope'.
02. Total number of TAFL fanlistings
19 & 1 upcoming adoption. 20 is such a nice number! :o
03. Do you have an FL collective?
Sun & Snow (http://\"http://c-minor.org/snow\"). It lists my TAFL fanlistings only.
04. Who/What got you into TAFL?
She's not around anymore but Kokoro. I knew her through affiliating our CardCaptor Sakura sites way back. She told me about fanlistings when I asked about the codes on her blog and the few that she owned.
05. Which fanlisting owners inspire you the most? (Limit 3!)
Rose, Marie & Jackie. They're just so dedicated to their FLs and the network.
06. Which fanlisting owners blow you away with their designs? (Limit 3!)
Estee, Janice & Sarah :blink: Plus many many more of course! ;) Originality and great use of colour are what gets to me.
07. What's your favorite category?
Raburabu~ :wub: It's just LOVE! :o I've trouble checked the category since '05 and staffed it for a year now *huggles it*
08. Which category do you have the most fanlistings in?
Characters 0-M with 8. Closely followed by Relationships with 7. I actually only have fanlistings in 3 categories right now heh.
09. What's your favorite part of the fanlisting process?
Hearing the outcome of applications. Approvals are definitely exciting to receive. But even with rejections, I'm usually excited and curious to see who got it.
10. What's your least favorite part of the fanlisting process?
When my layouts get outdated and I don't like them anymore but it's so hard to come up with something new so the poor sites just sit there for ages not looking pretty. Does that count? XD
11. If you could apply for anything, no rules attached, what would it be?
Um, I don't think there is anything hmm.
12. Favorite fanlisting layout?
I can't think of ONE off the top of my head. Too many @___@;
13. What’s the first thing you do when you sign on the boards?
Click the 'view new posts' link :lol:
14. What is your favorite forum?
Hot Topics. Specifically, the approvals thread especially after one of my own application updates. :D
15. What's your favorite avatar?
I don't know. There have been so many. But Marie's one right now is very amusing and true. :P
16. What's something you’ve always wondered about TAFL &/or fanlistings?
Nothing, really.
17. Did you know...?
The first fanlisting I ever applied for...I asked for the app to be disregarded a while later. ;) I'm not that fickle anymore, I hope.
18. Which do you prefer: applying for adoptions or applying at the Network?
Network because it's decided on more objective factors and like Jackie said, it's easier to know what to expect (e.g. when apps are processed, what factors are gonna be looked at, etc.) That being said, I do like adoptions too depending on the individual case.
19. If you could make any one thread at TAFL, what would it be?
I'm not creative in making threads so will skip this question. :P
20. You associate (member/group) with (subject) ?
I associate people with their sites (usually domain names). Sometimes, I also associate particular people with fls their own and certain staffers (& ex-staffers) with certain categories.

[quote name='Tess' post='270345' date='Nov 9 2009, 01:53 PM']I do unconsciously think of different members as characters! :blink: Marie is definitely Ichigo (I sometimes can't watch him without thinking "...Marie"), Estefania as Roy and Jackie as Rukia? :wub:[/quote]
You wouldn't believe how happy (and strangely proud) that makes me! /ÜBER LAME
18. Which do you prefer: applying for adoptions or applying at the Network?
I think I find Network applications less nerve-wracking than adoptions, but at the same time I also feel they're somehow even more out of my control - in the sense that, with adoptions, you can appeal to the previous owner's feelings in a more personal way. If that makes any sense at all? LOL.
19. If you could make any one thread at TAFL, what would it be?
WHY IS FMA THE GREATEST MANGA EVER CREATED? Uhm, not sure. Perhaps manga recs, or "what are you shipping atm?", or HOW DOES YOUR ROOM LOOK /is a voyeur. But yeah, idk.
20. You associate (member/group) with (subject) ?
I also associate people with series/characters! Sometimes with their domains, but most of the time with series/characters =) At times, they're not even current series, but things I associated people with in the past and I just keep doing it now. Like Shaza with Shaman King or Jackie with Witch Hunter Robin~

Absolutely no offense meant, but I've always wondered how some people can manage owning a big number of fanlistings! I already have trouble with the amount I have, which I consider to be a lot for myself XD;[/quote]
Very, very carefully. I wouldn't be able to do it without the helpfulness of Enthusiast. XD (Which brings me to the question of what would those of us do if Enth or any of the other FL management scripts didn't exist? :))
01. Your name
In the real world, it's Lindsay (you would not believe how many people cannot seem to spell it correctly!). Otherwise I'm known as Katze or Nori :)
02. Total number of TAFL fanlistings
..60-something OTL
03. Do you have an FL collective?
Yup! Pure Rhythm (http://\"http://pure-rhythm.org\")
04. Who/What got you into TAFL?
Seeing them around in 2003 and raging (or not) that they did not exist for Omi or Nagi. So, naturally, I had to do it.
05. Which fanlisting owners inspire you the most? (Limit 3!)
THERE ARE TOO MANY OF YOU THAT ARE AWESOME ;;;;
06. Which fanlisting owners blow you away with their designs? (Limit 3!)
....This is really hard, but there's always something about Rileth's designs that I like :)
07. What's your favorite category?
Characters!
08. Which category do you have the most fanlistings in?
Characters N-Z, I think.
09. What's your favorite part of the fanlisting process?
Practicing photoshop-fu!
10. What's your least favorite part of the fanlisting process?
Coding. Takes too long. XD
11. If you could apply for anything, no rules attached, what would it be?
GOTENKS. (most of the other stuff I would apply for is currently up for application :hug:
12. Favorite fanlisting layout?
...Oh god this is hard. There are so many I think are just plain awesome. Of mine, I really like Yamcha's (http://\"http://yamcha.sokidan.net\"), though (and my collective layout? makes me baw every time I look at it)
13. What’s the first thing you do when you sign on the boards?
Check my categories, lol
14. What is your favorite forum?
Don't have one!
15. What's your favorite avatar?
I'm quite fond of Mitz's Aya-tan icon :)
16. What's something you’ve always wondered about TAFL &/or fanlistings?
This will probably sound really mean, but why do people not seem to believe in proper navigation when they divide their fl up into sections? (By this, I mean like Shrine, Fanlisting, Etc) It *really* bugs me when there isn't proper navigation on every page and I have to keep clicking back (or sometimes more than once!) to move on to the next page instead of just being able to go straight from the codes page to the join page or whatever :lmao: This was one of my biggest peeves when I was a TCer XD; This is possibly just me being lazy, but it makes the site really hard to enjoy for me :lmao:
17. Did you know...?
Series is the only category I staff that I actually have fanlistings in XD Also 90% of my applications are for things that have been around for years and either never had fls, or kept being removed and I was sick of rejoining it every x months XD; This does not, however, mean that I don't adore all of my subjects to bitty pieces (how am I still the only member on Ichiro's fl & the Nerima Daikon Brothers FL DX?)
18. Which do you prefer: applying for adoptions or applying at the Network?
Depends on the subject. If it's something that already had/has a fanlisting, I'd rather try adopting it. If it's something that's never had one (or hasn't had one in *years*), I'd rather apply.
19. If you could make any one thread at TAFL, what would it be?
...IDUNNO. ;O;
20. You associate (member/group) with (subject) ?
I associate Dimmie with Mizuki (http://\"http://tenipuri.pure-rhythm.org/mizuki/\") for reasons completely unrelated to TAFL (aside from the fact we've swapped his FL back and forth a few times. XD Hi Dimmehchu.)

I DO NOT BELIEVE YOU SHOULD *EVER* HAVE TO CLICK "BACK" TO NAVIGATE A SITE. I will absolutely not visit any site that cannot easily navigate from one page to any other page of my choosing. The "back forward home" links don't count as navigation - I don't really want to have to return to your index page every time I need to access the menu.

*shall try and take this into consideration for the next fl* :sweatdrop:[/quote]
OK, I admit it, the "BACK", "FORWARD", "HOME" links do annoy me, and even if I did do that for my collective, I ran out of icon ideas, and three icons looked stupid. Just sayin'. I think I also fall under the category of having this type of navigation, though out of my four fanlistings, only one uses the "About", "Fanlisting", "Site", etc., and like Sarah, it doesn't bother me to click that consistently. That, and most of the time I have a sub-navigation if the fanlisting is split into sections, so the visitor can access important pages easily.
WHAT DOES BOTHER ME is having to turn on JavaScript on a particular site to activate navigation images, and sometimes I can't even find them/the links are dead for whatever reason; I do like being able to access any navigation easily without getting confused, so I do understand the irritation. That, and when there is no "home" link, because sometimes I'm too lazy to try and take out, say, "join.php" out of the address bar. ...Yeah, most of that's from laziness.

:lmao: :sweatdrop: :rofl:
I actually had no idea navigation was that frustrating for people - but being that it's one of my chief annoyances to design, I suppose I should have assumed. Will definitely be jotting down all of this, so I can go through my sites make sure I avoid that where I can! *finds this interesting!*
-
[quote name='Sarah' post='270564' date='Nov 13 2009, 08:58 AM']LOL, this is actually really interesting, cause I think half of my sites fall under that. *ponders* I would have never thought someone would be bothered by clicking "Fanlisting" once more to go back to the rest of the fanlisting pages aka join, members etc - I've never had a problem with it myself, so I just assumed neither did anyone else, aha.

No, navigations where say, I click "Fanlisting" and it takes me to the codes, join, members, et cetera links and then I choose my link and I go to that page, and then I click "fanlisting" again to go to the menu page again - that's a tiny pain, but not too bad, since usually I am just joining and getting a code.
It's the sites where I can't even click "fanlisting" once I've left the menu page, but instead have to rely on those stupid back/forward/wherever links, or use my back button to get back to the menu are the ones I am talking about. As long as I can move FORWARD through your site instead of having to backtrack I am fine with it. Even if going forward is still a page that I have already been to.
/doesn't think that makes sense, but doesn't want to point out specific examples. :rofl:
Ha ha, Like Katze, I think this comes from too many annoying trouble checks. XD

[/quote]So, this little discussion woke up my interest and I, lamely I must say, went to check my FLs to see if any matched the description XD; Turns out 6/51 do match it! :rofl: :lmao: and 5/6 of those have wannabe shrine content added to them so I'm guessing I didn't want to put to much 'weight' on FL navigation and gave it the usual link list in the FL page. It does get annoying x: but I always thought the <<back / go>> links helped to ease that :sweatdrop:
Interesting, interesting indeed! :hug: funny how I never truly noticed this before but that's the way we get to learn things and improve them later on :3 definitely helpful yeah~

The biggest problem with the back/home/forward links, IMO, is that all of the ones I have encountered (even the ones that I use myself! *is guilty, lol*) is that they run on JavaScript - which I have disabled on my PC, as well as on my phone browser. Like Tess mentioned, it's frustrating having to enable JS (especially if it is on a site where I am not familiar with the owner or what not).
Anyways, my opinions are pretty harsh because recently I've come across a lot of sites that are favoring style over functionality - they have lovely designs that are impossible to navigate, or don't work in my browser or just generally show a lack of attention or care for how accessible the site is to other visitors.
I am not in any way trying to ruffle feathers or imply that anyone's way of designing a site is better or worse than any others. It's a style preference, one that I don't happen to like. But as I mentioned before - if the navigation is difficult for me, I simply don't visit the site. :sweatdrop:
I am grumpy and cranky and I'll shut up now.

*looks at her sites* omg lately I've been using a lot the rollover javascript - I'll devenetly go back on css, because so everybody can navigate it. I never tought of this problem before ._. even because mostly I use the back botton on the browser or with the mouse °___°
I mostly don't like when i can't find the menu that is hidden somwhere, during my tcing those sites take most of my time because I have to find the navigation and everything. If i had to join a fanlisting like that, probably I wouldn't because I wouldn't bother to search for it.

18. Which do you prefer: applying for adoptions or applying at the Network?
I like both, because the subjects I send applications in for are amazing in so many ways.
19. If you could make any one thread at TAFL, what would it be?
Count to 7000 thread, which I like to see how long it takes for the entire forum to count that far (by ones).
20. You associate (member/group) with (subject) ?
I honestly say the TAFL Senior Staff are like the manga-ka or something that helps keep the forums together. XD; Totally random saying, but I think it is true.

Have you been through the adoption process?
Was it successful? Was it hard? What did you adopt out?
I've only done this once - and of the two I tried to adopt out, I only let one go, LOL. :heart: I think that has a lot to do with how attached, and therefore picky, I am where my fanlistings are concerned. In the end, the only reason I let WANTED! go was because it was going to someone I knew would take care of it, because they're a friend and fellow OP!nut. *snugs Hal* Any other time I've ever thought about doing adoptions, I can never bring myself to go through with it. /is lame
(Psst! You guys can think of questions too, you know! :) I am clearly running out of question!mojo)
-
Have you been through the adoption process?
I hate adopting my fanlisting out - and prefere search for a good owner by watching the others for example who is in my KIM list and I normaly ask tru that, I hate it because I adopted out few fanlistings and they let them die, so I'm not really sure if I like to do it - I prefere actually privat adoptions when I ask an fellow owner who I know and I also know they will take good care of the fanlisting and if they want to let it go to ask me if I want it back.
And besides it takes me months to decide what to put on adoption - i love my babies really much.
(I shall think of something to ask when my brain is back from Hawaii)
-
Have you been through the adoption process?
Was it successful? Was it hard? What did you adopt out?
I have been few times (ghh, loooot of times *looks at her adopted out (http://\"http://snakes-and-dragons.org/adoptedout.php\") list*). I totally hate it, because when I see a former fanlisting of mine die I start ramble about a bad choice I made when choosing the adoptee. I just can't understand why the adoptee can't get in touch with the previous owner before deciding to close down! I'd be more than happy to get back the fanlisting the time needed to chose another owner (or simply take the job to contact the new owner chosen by the staff and offer members list and codes -with the proper credits). :) :heart:
Fortunately I had luck for some of them, because some fanlistings are still online and kicking, while others has just been adopted out (and not closed down or died).
-
Have you been through the adoption process?
I've also only adopted out one fanlisting, but at the time when I had several up for adoption, I had grown very attatched to the fanlistings I had up. Though, when I've adopted fanlistings, I've made sure to keep the person who I adopted from within the loop incase they ever want it back. As for me, I think private adoptions are sometimes better (from what I've seen) or adopt to people I know because I know they run good fanlistings and are good owners. Of course, I am surprised when a lot of the older fanlistings are closed because people to not keep them active and they were adopted from other people before hand and they lose a lot of members that were joined.
-
Have you been through the adoption process?
Too many times to count, back in the early days at least. The past couple of years I haven't adopted out so much, probably due to the fact my subjects have been wittled down to the ones I truly love. :heart: But it's also probably an attribute to the fact that, at first, I was adopting them out to people I knew and took care of them properly and actually gave me reason to know they liked the subject. As time went by I kind of ended up with lots of one-liners when it came to adoptions. Basically 'I like so and so let me adopt them!' which... yeah, it's not very convincing. :) So I eventually gave up adopting fanlistings what so ever and just closing them instead when I had to let some go. It wasn't too bad, though, since a lot of stuff I was closing was small and probably wouldn't have been adopted anyway, haha.
-
Have you been through the adoption process?
Yup, but I think only 3 or 4 times in my entire life in this business :) I'm too attached to my fls and it hurts like hell when I have to let them go, orz Speaking of that, I only adopt fls out when 1) I get to own a lot of stuff from a series and I feel like a hog or 2) I realize that I don't like the subject as much as I did when applying, and therefore updating/revamping/etc it becomes a choir D:
I haven't been really lucky when trying, btw ^^;;; apart from the well-known fact that almost no one wants my stuff >_>, I have had issues like adoptions falling through or getting zero apps for a whole batch T__T However, I cannot complain about applications, I've always received really good ones :3 And some fls that used to belong to me are now in awesome homes :heart:

Ooooh, hard! How can I ever be expected to pick just one? I'd either be Watase Yuu, Shinjo Mayu, Sadahiro Mika, or Touko Kawai. :heart:
-
18. Which do you prefer: applying for adoptions or applying at the Network?
I like applying at the network because I can start the members list from scratch, haha /dork~ Though it's always a shame to see all the previous members being lost :x I don't really make a distinction between applying at the network or applying for an adoption, since what I write in my application would most likely be the same :3
19. If you could make any one thread at TAFL, what would it be?
Hmm.. Maybe something like an introduction thread, where you talk a little bit about yourself? We've got a lot of regulars on the boards, but to be honest, I hardly know anyone other than what fanlistings they have XD; I know we have the "New to the boards" topic, but usually people only say hello there. It might be too personal though :P
20. You associate (member/group) with (subject) ?
Not really an association per se, but I recognize most board members through their icons XD; When I go through a thread, I see who's posting by looking at the icon first, before I look at the name LOL I don't really group members with anything :3
Have you been through the adoption process?
Only once, though I ended up keeping two out of the three posted, and closed the third one. I've thought about adopting out some quite a few times, but like Marie, I almost never go through with it XD; Will post something soon though. Lately I've also come to the realization that I would probably prefer somewhat private adoptions, because I see a lot of adopted fanlistings close without adoption posts or getting removed for being troubled. Though on the other hand, you never know when you'll get an awesome application~

03. Do you have an FL collective?
Yup: http://theisotope.jadedchic.net (http://\"http://theisotope.jadedchic.net\")
04. Who/What got you into TAFL?
My undying obsession with manga? It wasn't anything particular, I found the site affiliated with TFL, clicked and then started joining anime fanlistings like crazy! At that time I was really into this shoujo manga and no one created a fanlisting for it so I did ^^
05. Which fanlisting owners inspire you the most? (Limit 3!)
I'm quite new to the fanlisting community so I don't know that many people but I've come across some people who take wonderful care of their fanlistings and make beautiful layouts =)
06. Which fanlisting owners blow you away with their designs? (Limit 3!)
I really like Giada's layouts, they're beautiful!
07. What's your favorite category?
Series
08. Which category do you have the most fanlistings in?
Series
09. What's your favorite part of the fanlisting process?
Approval, I feel like I'm cloud nine. I always get extremely excited, sometimes I scream which is very very rare for me!
10. What's your least favorite part of the fanlisting process?
Pending Applications, I'm always nervous and I remain so until I hear back from a staffer. Its quite an uneasy feeling.
11. If you could apply for anything, no rules attached, what would it be?
Genre: Yaoi fanlisting!

Fanlistings Chit-Chat
15. What's your favorite avatar?
I like a few.
16. What's something you’ve always wondered about TAFL &/or fanlistings?
Hmm I always wondered how it felt to reject someone especially if the person wrote in the comments about how much they wanted it.
17. Did you know...?
My first fanlisting only has one member and that's me! :)
18. Which do you prefer: applying for adoptions or applying at the Network?
Applying at the Network, I've only applied for adoption once and I felt nervous writing the email. I kept thinking "Okay she'll probably think I'm weird and undeserving of the fanlisting" I felt like there is some pressure on me when adopting a fanlisting.
19. If you could make any one thread at TAFL, what would it be?
I dunno, maybe a gender bender thread? The person takes a character they like and roleplay them as the opposite sexl? Its not really fanlisting relative...I dunno, I'm pretty boring, thought something like that would be fun to see xD
21. Have you been through the adoption process?
Nope, I've never felt the need to adopt out any of my fanlistings, but if I did I would probably be sad. It would hurt, even if I did lose interest in the subject, just knowing that I once love it and put so much effort into creating the fanlistings, it would make me sad to give it up. At the same time I would probably feel relieve that it will be in the hands of someone who is dedicated and will continue to carry on the legacy of the fanlisting! x)

That is one of the hardest parts of an application staffer's job. Trust me when I say that no staffer enjoys having to send out rejections. There have been many times over the years I and all the other staffers have wished we could approve more than one person for certain fanlistings. :)

07. What's your favorite category?
Characters (both). :)
08. Which category do you have the most fanlistings in?
I only have one in Characters, but I'm sure I'll probably end up with more in this category than the others. XD I've always been more a character oriented person I suppose. -_-
09. What's your favorite part of the fanlisting process?
Building/staring at endless photos of the subject. o_o Especially when it's someone/something yummy.
10. What's your least favorite part of the fanlisting process?
Gosh, pending! XD It's so nerve-wracking. haha That's why I usually make myself forget when I apply for things.
11. If you could apply for anything, no rules attached, what would it be?
Hmm...I'd say Honda Tohru from Fruits Basket right now. But totally no rules attached, I'd say the little drawings in Fruits Basket. XD The ones with speech bubbles with different figures representing each character. They constantly make me giggle.

16. What's something you’ve always wondered about TAFL &/or fanlistings?
I always wondered why TAFL graphics are sooo vastly different than that of other networks, in a great way. They're always more truly thought out and I've found them to be such a totally different and unique style. It's really neat. n_n
17. Did you know...?
That I waste away a lot of hours where I should be working on the fanlisting staring at images relating to the fanlisting? o_o
18. Which do you prefer: applying for adoptions or applying at the Network?
Adoptions. :) They're more personal and, usually, more fun. :whistle:
19. If you could make any one thread at TAFL, what would it be?
I'd post a totally random thread that was about something like...Japanese Cuisine or like..."What's your favorite flavor onigiri?" XD
20. You associate (member/group) with (subject) ?
I associate...TAFL Developers with the one color of my wall. :)
21. Have you been through the adoption process?
Ooh yes. I've actually never really had a bad adoption on my end or on someone elses end. I've been rejected, of course, but rejections are nothing. ;) I just think adoptions are fun, in the end.
(Sorry I couldn't answer all of them. D: I'll probably come back and answer them after I've been here longer. :))

09. What's your favorite part of the fanlisting process?
Getting the approval. It makes me so happy~ And then making codes haha.
10. What's your least favorite part of the fanlisting process?
Rejections for wishlisters. They rarely come around so that makes it more painful :birthday:
11. If you could apply for anything, no rules attached, what would it be?
Hm.. 12. Favorite fanlisting layout?
This is too hard for other people's layouts, I adore so many! For my own, I'd have to say that at the moment I like the last one I made - Watase Yuu's FY skin (http://\"http://soul-eater.org/watase/skins.php?skin=1\").

15. What's your favorite avatar?

16. What's something you've always wondered about TAFL &/or fanlistings?
How some people can change their minds about "wishlist" fanlistings every 10 days.
17. Did you know...?
...that I spend an obscene amount of time naming my fanlistings?
18. Which do you prefer: applying for adoptions or applying at the Network?
Applying at the network, because I'm guaranteed either an approval or rejection. Though the aspect I love about adoptions is that the members list gets passed on. :o
19. If you could make any one thread at TAFL, what would it be?
Members lists from previous fanlistings. If you close a fanlisting and then someone opens it later at the network, I think it'd be nice if the owner could snag your previous list to keep the members count more accurate. I know it can be done outside of TAFL but it'd be much more convenient if it were all in one thread, with contact info and an editable reply for each member. :heart:
20. You associate (member/group) with (subject)?
I associate most people with their favorite character. For example, Marie is Captain Luffy, Estefania is Fuhrer Roy, etc.
21. Have you been through the adoption process?
Yes, several times, and I'm currently going through another one. It's frustrating, especially when you want to give the fanlisting a happy new home and don't find any takers (hint hint!).

[quote name='Hanii-chan' post='271841' date='Dec 13 2009, 01:24 PM']16. What's something you’ve always wondered about TAFL &/or fanlistings?
I always wondered why TAFL graphics are sooo vastly different than that of other networks, in a great way. They're always more truly thought out and I've found them to be such a totally different and unique style. It's really neat. n_n[/quote]
i completely agree! a lot of tafl graphics are always so complex and gorgeous, i'm always so envious D:

I ACTUALLY FINISHED THIS. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW DIFFICULT IT WAS!
01. Your name
I've actually gone through a few names, and they're all for me to know. <3 But currently I go by Hal, and have for a few years now.
02. Total number of TAFL fanlistings
12. (There will be more in the future, I know this.)
03. Do you have an FL collective?
Back to unnamed, it can be found at fan.color-trap.net (http://\"http://fan.color-trap.net/\"). While I do like my fanlistings in, and will keep them in, the fan sub-directory; I'm actually considering whether or not I want to make a full-on 'collective' (with name and design, etc.) or just link to them all at Color-Trap.
04. Who/What got you into TAFL?
Way, way, way back in the day (2002 or 2003), and it took quite a bit of remembering: but I think it was the then-manga fanlisting. Because manga-ka provide the greatest form of art. (I know, lame of me? But they're such wonderful, talented artists away from their stories, too. Stunning is the detail Oda Eiichiro and Minekura Kazuya, respectively, put into trees and plant life.)
05. Which fanlisting owners inspire you the most?
I can rack my mind and shower people with love and devotion, but, next to Marie, the first thing that comes to mind is, "Anyone who can actually have a lot of fanlistings and actually keep them MAINTAINED," and you have my absolute admiration. I've got on 13. I'm back to only 13 listings, and it can be a chore even trying to add more. So anyone who can have a lot and keep up with them, I salute you.
Marie is also like the ultimate owner. Look at the passion towards her own listings, and listings in general. That's inspiring.
06. Which fanlisting owners blow you away with their designs?
I really need to look around a bit more, because there are a lot of designs I like and I know they're all owned by the same people; but I do constantly recall being blown away by Sarah and Giada for their designs.
07. What's your favorite category?
Ironically... Series. You would never guess, would you? But there's just something so inspiring about the Series category to me. I don't fully understand it myself, though I try to rationalize it as, "I just really love seeing fans of a whole series." Series are amazing. I love stories.
08. Which category do you have the most fanlistings in?
Characters. See above.
09. What's your favorite part of the fanlisting process?
Is it shallow that I really like approvals? My brain usually starts flooding with ideas, really, with the approval letters. Nothing more than a flood of ideas that makes me happy.
10. What's your least favorite part of the fanlisting process?
The opposite of the above. When the flood of ideas STOPS, and you're like, "Oh crap, what am I going to do now?!" A lot times my schemes are so grand, I normally can't get them made in the time frame, so have to settle for less.
11. If you could apply for anything, no rules attached, what would it be?
A fanlisting for the whole of the (One Piece) Skypiea arc. Manga arcs aren't allowed, from what I recall asking ages and ages and years and years ago, I think it's because there are simply too many scattered around? I don't know, and can hardly remember. But I would love to have the Skypiea arc listing, here. I love One Piece as a whole (haha, pun), but Skypiea... just everything about Skypiea. I hate the word "fantastical" (sounds redundant, and like one of those words that shouldn't exist), but fantastical is a great word to describe Skypiea. It's incredible. The whole thought of it is incredible. One Piece is a story about pirates, but Skypiea is a real pirate story in the midst of an incredible story about pirates.
12. Favorite fanlisting layout?
Minekura (http://\"http://fan.color-trap.net/minekura/\") is the newest, and coded with a Strict DTD (since I want to take web design a bit more seriously, even if I violate a few other rules (*3*). So I'm happiest most with it right now.
13. What’s the first thing you do when you sign on the boards?
I don't have a set routine. (Like, "Okay, sign in, and then I go here, and here, and then here.") I usually sign in only when I want to post something, and the signing-in is done from the forum/thread I'm interested in posting in.
14. What is your favorite forum?
Don't have one in particular. Wherever something interesting is.
15. What's your favorite avatar?
As of early July 2010, something about Emcy's has always intrigued me. Maybe it's its geek chic? Clover's also amuses, sadly, because it says "splat", and I am pathetic and think that's overly hilarious. The word "splat" just makes me laugh.
16. What's something you’ve always wondered about TAFL &/or fanlistings?
Since I have never specifically wondered something and not asked (that I know of), off the top of my head: layout update? Is there eventually going to be one in store?
I like the watermelon layout, too, but TAFL is one of those sites - one of those sites that have the ultimate potential to have the world's most kick-butt layout, because it has the content to back it up.
Just wondering...
17. Did you know...?
What you can't see, in my mind, is far more important than what you can. My fanlistings are obsessively organized; and, with the updates I have in store for them, they're only going to become more organized.
Also, in 2008, the (One Piece) Buggy fanlisting, ironically, was suppose to be the companion to my Garp fanlisting (http://\"http://fan.color-trap.net/garp/\"). Unfortunately, issues arose keeping my friend from completing it. ):
18. Which do you prefer: applying for adoptions or applying at the Network?
I have a lot of fun with adoptions, but applying at the Network is much less nerve-wracking. I can really write, at that, and if someone says, "Sum it up in a short/no longer than a five sentence paragraph," I'm screwed. There is no way I can compress my passion into five sentences, or even one short paragraph. I write until something feels complete, and exactly like I would say it to your face. I love the one-on-one of adoptions, but sometimes the luck-of-the-draw I normally pose with TAFL is easier.
19. If you could make any one thread at TAFL, what would it be?
Depends on the manner in which you mean. If it's for fanlistings, it would be a Manga Arcs thread, for people to apply to for their favorite manga arcs. This is because there is an opposite to people who can easily get a hold of anime - those of us who can't. When you're a self-professed manga whore, life's tough...
20. You associate (member/group) with (subject) ?
I had never thought about this until I read people posting about it, and I think the idea of association to mythical beings is so neat. (I'm jumping on myself, and claiming Uzume before anybody steals her. (XD)
21. Have you been through the adoption process?
A few times. <3 Ukitake (http://\"http://fan.color-trap.net/ukitake/\") and Nii (http://\"http://fan.color-trap.net/nii/\") were kindly given to me by Laura and Kim, while the Fushigi Yuugi Genbu Kaiden and May Chang fanlistings I adopted out to Krystal and Kibumie. <3 I also don't mean any disrespect to Laura and Kim, because Ukitake and Nii were BIG wishlisters: but Marie also adopted Wanted! (http://\"http://fan.color-trap.net/wanted/\") to me, and that's a One Piece fanlisting. I still feel so special and flail about at the thought like I'm a flamingo, it would take a while to calm down enough to issue the great big bear hug you'd normally receive from me over something like that. ^^; An honor is impressing somebody who can admit being hard to impress [in respect, especially, to One Piece].
