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

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 or Fuwa Sho - 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, 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.

16. What's something you’ve always wondered about TAFL &/or fanlistings?

Oh man, idk. Probably Marie BECAUSE SHE OWNS LUFFY AND THAT IS AMAZING, Janice and Kibou =)[/quote]
I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT COUNTS BUT LUFFY. :wub: You are more amazing though.

[quote name='Sarah' post='270050' date='Nov 4 2009, 03:57 PM']13. What’s the first thing you do when you sign on the boards?
Check if a certain someone changed my avatar again. No, really.

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.[/quote]
RE: 13 - Oh noes. Kubo got you too, eh? That guy, he's just such a board!ninja! :\
RE: 16 - ... shut up.

[quote name='Jackie' post='270062' date='Nov 4 2009, 06:53 PM']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. :heart:

lol, Marie, you perv... Ichigo's bankai really IS super hot though~

15. What's your favorite avatar?
Marie's '09 Halloween icon.  YOU WILL BE MISSED, WONDERFUL ICON ;;[/quote]
RE: 11 - Hollow!Ichigo is like the only "version of" I think deserves one. *agrees* YOU CALL ME A PERV, BUT YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE. 16, KUBO?! REALLY?!
RE: 15 - KUBO'S TEACHINGS WILL CONTINUE ON, JACKIENESS.

[quote name='Jackie' post='270062' date='Nov 4 2009, 07:53 PM']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[/quote]

01. Your name
Giada, same as my nick. No fantasy uh?

02. Total number of TAFL fanlistings
38 (2 of them are upcoming)

03. Do you have an FL collective?

Yes, although it needs major updates

04. Who/What got you into TAFL?
Well, I don't really remember how I decided to build fanlisting, but it's true that I got to know TAFL through other fanlistings + shrines that I happened to visit.

05. Which fanlisting owners inspire you the most? (Limit 3!)

There are too many :wub: , so 3 names aren't really enough :heart:

06. Which fanlisting owners blow you away with their designs? (Limit 3!)
 Same as above, although I should really name at least Sarah and Yamila, because they have such great skills. I always fall in love with their works!

07. What's your favorite category?
I'm undecided, I'd say both Characters, but even Relationships is a great category (but which isn't?)

08. Which category do you have the most fanlistings in?
Both Characters, followed by Series

09. What's your favorite part of the fanlisting process?
I enjoy all the process, really and especially the skinning part (because I love so much making skins).

10. What's your least favorite part of the fanlisting process?
The only thing that bothers me is the fact that sometimes I find it difficult to write a decent application (due to my lackness of time and peraphs because as I think too much I can't write anything with enough meaning :heart:).

11. If you could apply for anything, no rules attached, what would it be?
Ah no idea :heart:

12. Favorite fanlisting layout?
Ah SO MANY, I can't really choose.

13. What’s the first thing you do when you sign on the boards?
Check here and there for news.

14. What is your favorite forum?
I'd say the Hot Topic.

15. What's your favorite avatar?
My current one, peraphs.

16. What's something you’ve always wondered about TAFL &/or fanlistings?
Why people can choose brilliant name for their listings and I usually always fail at it ??!!

17. Did you know...?
I usually forget to apply for subjects (not that it isn't a bad things, sometimes) or send forms in general (and this is why I need to write down everything since I have such a bad memory).

02. Total number of TAFL fanlistings
4 + 2 upcomings.

03. Do you have an FL collective?
Yes I do.

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:.

05. Which fanlisting owners inspire you the most? (Limit 3!)
Err hard to pick actually, everyone puts effort on their FLs.

06. Which fanlisting owners blow you away with their designs? (Limit 3!)
Yamila, Kula and Wen.

07. What's your favorite category?
Characters OTL.

08. Which category do you have the most fanlistings in?
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.

11. If you could apply for anything, no rules attached, what would it be?
I have no idea. I already run most of the subjects I am interested.

12. Favorite fanlisting layout?
Treize. 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?
Let's see what happened now.

14. What is your favorite forum?
Shameless Self Promotion and everything related to it. I can't bring myself to chit chat, makes me feel like I'm spamming.

15. What's your favorite avatar?
[quote name='Yamila' post='270066' date='Nov 4 2009, 05:56 PM']*scratches her head* can't really think of any atm... I guess that Graham ones, SINCE THEY ARE RARE AND NO ONE CARES ABOUT MY POOR HAMU ;_; except for Asa and me I believe.[/quote]
okay I died aahahah o u! But yes, I do care of Graham as well
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

17. Did you know...?
I am incredibly harsh on self judging and will probably never feel accomplished with the layout/fanlisting.

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.

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.

13. What’s the first thing you do when you sign on the boards?
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 page.

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.

*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.

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!

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:
