Off-Topic Chit-Chat / What Genre are you?

« on: July 17, 2009, 11:24:58 PM »

This has always been an interesting topic to me - it's neat to see what genre people typically lean to and their reasons for that. Was talking about this with Jackie earlier and started wondering why we're drawn to the series we're drawn to and if there was any type of trend in that and so here we are, sharing that discussion with everyone else!

So, if you could only pick one genre to read for the rest of time, what genre would you choose? Are you a die-hard shounen fan? A romantic gone for shoujo? Does boys love make your heart skip a beat, or do you prefer girl's love? Perhaps you're more on the mature side and prefer a slice of seinen or josei? How about a good mecha? Are you a mixed salad? Well, the latter is too bad, because you can only pick one. :hug:


Personally, I'm definitely Boy's Love - as much as I love Pirates Shounen, the boy pr0n never lets me down and gives me a bit of everything! if you know what I mean.

Characters N-Z / Application Cut-Off Dates

« on: May 02, 2009, 02:02:31 AM »

This procedure is now in place again as of May 14, 2011.

This is not new information, but is more of a reminder for people. As has been said in previous threads, the Application cut-off date for Characters N-Z is the 15th of each month. What that means is you have until the 15th of the month to submit an application if you want it to be included in the current round. For example, those who wish their applications to be processed in May need to have their applications submitted by May 15th. Anything sent in after the 15th will be held for the following round. Please remember: You are still only allowed to have 3 pending applications at any point in time, regardless of what round they will be included in.

In regards to subjects recently removed from the Network:

• Fanlistings which were removed less than a month from the cut-off deadline are automatically held for the next round. If the fanlisting for Uzumaki Naruto (just an example! >>:flower:) was removed on June 3, he would not be processed until the July round, so potential applicants would have until July 15 to submit applications. (This is because June 3 is less than one month from June 15, so his applications would automatically be held until July 15.)
  
• If a popular subject is to be included in a current round and applicants submit forms after the cut-off date, those applications will not be included in the approval decision. They are automatically disregarded, and applicants will be notified as such.
  

Basically, from the time a fanlisting is removed from the Network, you have at least one month to apply for it. If you don't get the application in within that time frame, well. That's unfortunate, but 4 weeks is plenty of time to apply. From this point on, NO exceptions will be made to this practice. It is also HIGHLY recommended that you check if I've received your application via the appropriate thread.

Basically, from the time a fanlisting is removed from the Network, you have a month (if not longer) to apply for it. From this point on, NO exceptions will be made to this practice. It is also HIGHLY recommended that you check if I've received your application via the appropriate thread.

For characters from recently-released series or newly-introduced characters from on-going series:

• Characters will only be approved after 4 chapters or episodes have passed since their first appearance. This as to give a fair chance to everyone and enough time for character establishment.
  
• Please note the above rule may have exceptions, to be determined on a case-by-case basis. For example, if a character appears only in shadow for a brief time in a chapter, and three chapters later, he/she/it still has not received any development, then an application for that character may be declined even though 4 chapters have passed.
• Obviously this only applies to on-going series and not movies or single OVAs.
• Note that the application cut-off deadline still applies.

Characters 0-M / Application Reminders

« on: May 02, 2009, 02:01:04 AM »

The category Application cutoff is the 15th of each month. What that means is you have until the 15th to submit an application if you want it to be included in the current round. For example, those who wish their applications to be processed in May, need to have their applications submitted by May 15th. Anything sent in after the 15th is held for the following round (as long as the topic at hand is not due for the actual round). Please remember: You are still only allowed to have 3 pending applications at any point in time, regardless of what round they will be included in. Any additional application will be returned.

In regards to subjects recently removed from the Network; this includes Troubles/Overdue Removals and Closed fanlistings.

• Fanlistings which were removed less than a month from the cutoff are held for the next round. If the fanlisting for Bleach: Kurosaki Ichigo (example!) was removed on the 3rd of June, he would not be processed until the July round and potential applicants have until July 15 to submit applications.
  
• If a popular subject is to be included in a current round and applicants submit after the cutoff, those applications will not be included in the approval decision. They are automatically disregarded and applicants notified as such.
  

Basically, from the time a fanlisting is removed from the Network, you have a month (if not longer) to apply for it. From this point on, NO exceptions will be made to this practice. It is also HIGHLY recommended that you check if I've received your application via the appropriate thread.

In regards to subjects from series that have been recently released AND newly introduced characters in on-going series.

• Characters who have appeared less than 4 weeks/episodes/chapters ago in a series will NOT be approved until that span of time has elapsed. This as to give a fair chance to everyone and enough "time" for character establishment.

(Feel free to provide as much material to help backing-up your application).

• Please note the above rule may have exceptions, to be determined on a case-by-case basis. For example, if a character appears only in shadow for a brief time in a chapter, and three chapters later, he/she/it still has not received any development, then an application for that character may be declined even though 4 chapters have passed.
• Obviously this only applies to on-going series and not movies or single OVAs.
• Note that the application cut-off deadline still applies.

Questions for the Senior Staff / Just curious

« on: August 23, 2006, 10:17:41 AM »

I was wondering, since TAFL and TFL work so closely together, does that mean that TAFL will be adopting the "reminder" policy that TFL now has in place? Or is that simply for them because of the large number of fanlistings that exist over there?

Thanks for your time!  :rofl:
