Also, never put < > in your SN unless you want to break quotes. xD You can't quote someone with < and > on either side of their SN. I am going to try this sometime now XD I should not have said anything. |

How does one actually use the site and connect it to here?

The sig changing one? You make up a pass and user, then you are given this link. something.something/user.gif I think. You then up that link in you sig between the img code. So:
[img]something.something/user.gif[/img]

Thanks! But how does one now change the sizes of individual pictures and double up on some pictures? Do I just need to make multiple pictures into one for doubling up?

Post by mintedstar/fur on May 10, 2017 16:10:49 GMT -5
Yeah, pretty much. ^^' Same with the size. You have to adjust everything manually, unfortunately.

One more small thing. How do you center things in a sig? I know there is part of a code for it, but I am bad with code.

It's the same code as in posts. so:
[div align="center"]lovely text or image code here[/div]

1. What POV do you prefer to read in general? 3rd Person, present tense.2. What genres do you like reading most? You may pick two. Fantasy & Action3. What annoys you most about some fanfictions? I hate a lack of description. Like, when it feels choppy. It drives me up the wall.4. What's one story cliche you wish would change? I don't mind cliche's. As long as they are written well. But if I HAD to choose one; the main character being a. a female and b. the heroine. Why can't the protagonist have glaring weaknesses or struggle between right and wrong? Why can't they be selfish and not save the world?5. How important is grammar to you while reading a story? Semi-important. As long as it's not a ton of misspelling and/or glaring structure errors I am fine with it. Not everyone can find another person to do their editing for them, and most people wouldn't want to. x'D 6. Are there any prefixes or suffixes that you absolutely hate? If so, which ones? Just really long ones that make no sense. Like, if you have a strange name, at least have a reason behind it. A back story.
7. Are there any prefixes or suffixes that you absolutely love? If so, which ones? Shadow, fang, light, cloud, foot, willow, step, talon, frost, moon, stream. I like creative/nature names.8. Do you prefer short chapters, or long ones? If the author is really good, I prefer long chapters.9. What is the ideal number of chapters to a story in general? If the story & author are really good, I want as many chapters as they can squeeze into it. I recently finished a novel with nearly 80 chapters. I ate it up.10. Do banners affect whether or not you'll read a fanfiction? If so, how? Sadly, yes. I'm more likely to read if they have an eye-catching page. But I will still try! Sometimes you will find hidden treasures that are otherwise ignored.11. Does the author affect if you'll read a fanfction? As in, would you read a fic written by a well known author over a newer one?
Yes. It does immensely. If I know an author, and I know they are good, I will follow them on all of their works. Even ones they recommend. 12. Are polls enjoyable for a story? As in, is it fun to interact with the story and author and possibly influence the story itself with polls? I love polls, but they shouldn't influence the story. The author should be in complete control, leaving his/her readers helpless. :'313. How often do you 'stealth read?'(reading without posting to the author that you are indeed reading their story) Rarely. I'll start to read then not like it and I won't post. That's usually the only reason.14. Finally, favorite fanfictions so far?(I'll be nice and let you choose 3)
Anything written by ᴛᴜᴇsᴅᴀʏ and Dingoleap . Then I have just jumped onto a Lamentation of Swans and I love that story so far. There are others but I haven't gotten far enough to judge yet. |

1. What POV do you prefer to read in general? Third-person present-tense is my preference, though third-person past is also good. I'm just not big on first-person, I guess.2. What genres do you like reading most? You may pick two. Fantasy and romance  3. What annoys you most about some fanfictions? Text walls, dialogue that's not properly spaced, short chapters that don't really address plot4. What's one story cliche you wish would change? When the protagonist ends up with the first person they fall in love with5. How important is grammar to you while reading a story? In the middle. If there's a ton of errors, it's going to bother me, but if the story is compelling I'd be willing to overlook that. Then again, there are stories with perfect grammar that don't grab me at all. I think I'd prefer story to grammatical perfection.6. Are there any prefixes or suffixes that you absolutely hate? If so, which ones? I'm not much for the prefix Dove, or prefixes that the Clans wouldn't know about, i.e. Arctic or Autumn or Angel. I don't know why I chose all A names for that.7. Are there any prefixes or suffixes that you absolutely love? If so, which ones? Using typically-male names for she-cats and female names for toms, etc. I tried to do this in "The Absence of Rain," especially with Petalthroat. I just like names that break stereotypes. I also really like -fox as a suffix.8. Do you prefer short chapters, or long ones? I'm going to break your binary and say mid-sized chapters. Though if I had to choose, probably short. It challenges the author to get across their plot without adding a lot of fluff. But! Short chapters that fail to address plot, like I said above, are a turn-off. Long chapters I can tolerate on occasion, but I just get lost in all those words.9. What is the ideal number of chapters to a story in general? Approximately 15, but it depends on length.10. Do banners affect whether or not you'll read a fanfiction? If so, how? Not a ton, though if the banner has spelling mistakes or really glaring colors I might be turned off.11. Does the author affect if you'll read a fanfiction? As in, would you read a fic written by a well known author over a newer one? I am terribly biased about reading my friends' stuff, I will admit, but I do look at new stuff on occasion.12. Are polls enjoyable for a story? As in, is it fun to interact with the story and author and possibly influence the story itself with polls? So long as the poll isn't super long or super old. I guess it depends on the story.13. How often do you 'stealth read?'(reading without posting to the author that you are indeed reading their story) asdfjksk how dare you call me out on this by which I mean ALWAYS. I really need to start commenting more.14. Finally, favorite fanfictions so far?(I'll be nice and let you choose 3) I haven't been around enough recently to have 3, but off the top of my head I really like Ash to Ash and Phantomstar's work (the name is escaping me rn) EDIT: New Blood! That's it. Ironically, both of these fics have really long chapters and I said I liked short chapters, but that's a testament to these fics' greatness. |

(Sorry for being late to the party :3) 1. What POV do you prefer to read in general?
First and third person are my personal favorite. Though every once and a while I like to spice things up and read some second person.
2. What genres do you like reading most? You may pick two.
Wow, so strict ( ) Fantasy and horror are my favorites though! (drama is a close third)3. What annoys you most about some fanfictions?This doesn't count for all fan-fictions, but for most of them this it what they do: they make the character have a dramatic future, then make them do nothing except mourn for a few chapters, and then they forget about it! Completely! Unless some cat mentions it, everything that made them actually sad is gone (drives me nuts! The other thing I don't like is text-talk and typos. Though we're all human - most of us: some make perfect stories in the blink of an eye...crazy - we sometimes can slip can let out a 'brb' when we're writing) 4. What's one story cliche you wish would change?The "Perfect Peach" type of cat. Always getting what they want and not making the story believable. Which ends up as a not very good one. (No more peachy cats!)
5. How important is grammar to you while reading a story?
Not that important. Come on, we're all humans and we make mistakes. (I do like the stories I read to be readable though, and not 'Glass msiab toi sugra' or something like that. We like to be able to at least understand what you're trying to say!)6. Are there any prefixes or suffixes that you absolutely hate? If so, which ones?Prefixes First of all, let's eliminate the easy ones. Hammer, Sword, and other human-made items. But in the warrior terms I hate the most 'easy' prefixes like Spot, Patch, or any color that is most visible on the cat's pelt: like Ginger. Make your cats more creative names. So if there was a light brown tom-cat with green eyes and he was named Oakfur (which is not original at all) we can make his prefix Amber as amber is a brown color, but more original.
Suffixes
Just like prefixes. Suffixes for Warrior Cats are not meant to be human things. So if you were to name your character Axwielder, you may have to change it sooner or later as it does not fit in with the rest of the territory-inspired names of the Clan cats. So the prefix for the cat is amber, we can add some traits to determine what his suffix should be. So say our cat is very swift and efficient at running. His suffix could be foot, but you should also look for appeal. If you like the sound of it: keep it. If not you can try something else. Since I don't like the sound of 'foot' I'm going to change it to 'wind' as it means the same thing, but it's nicer-sounding to me. So now we have Amberwind, pretty nice name that does not involve human things. (Oh my...this just turned into a rant on how to make a good name for a Warrior Cat. Totally off topic but y'know...going to keep it anyway...)7. Are there any prefixes or suffixes that you absolutely love? If so, which ones?
Not any particular ones. Just one that are original and have no things that Warrior Cats doesn't have. (Maybe you can go more in-depth with the words you're using for the names. Like instead of orange - be sure your cats know what the object is - you can use the color peach. Just another example or an original prefix that I like.)8. Do you prefer short chapters, or long ones?It depends on the time I have. If I have an half-hour or twenty minutes (or longer) long ones for sure! (The ole' good ahead!) But if I only have five minutes left before I leave to do something. Short chapters would be preferred. (D:) ( I wish I had sound effects...) 9. What is the ideal number of chapters to a story in general?I would say 20-30 at max if the story has a good plot, pace, and concept. If not then edit your story so it does. (Tips on how to make your better story a better story!) 10. Do banners affect whether or not you'll read a fanfiction? If so, how?
Nope! Even if you don't have a banner I will give it a try!11. Does the author affect if you'll read a fanfction? As in, would you read a fic written by a well known author over a newer one?
I read every 'fic' that I see on the 'new' tab. So no, it won't affect me.
12. Are polls enjoyable for a story? As in, is it fun to interact with the story and author and possibly influence the story itself with polls?
Absolutely! I love saying my opinion and seeing how different people view the 'fic', too!13. How often do you 'stealth read?'(reading without posting to the author that you are indeed reading their story)
I almost rarely post on a 'fic'. I 'sheath read' way too much that I have vowed to start posting on every 'fic' I see and like the concept of!
14. Finally, favorite fanfictions so far?(I'll be nice and let you choose 3)
Title - WITSOP (What Is The Sound Of Peace) | Author - Searipple | Status - Work In Progress
Title - DSOTM (Dark Side Of The Moon) | Author - Shadowface | Status - Work In Progress
Title - Anubis (Anubis) | Author - Thunderfire | Status - Work In Progress
(Wow, this was so weird to write...well now you have it! XD) |

1. What POV do you prefer to read in general?
Third person past is my preference, but I don't mind reading third person present or first person past. I think it's mostly because I prefer to write in third-past, so its the style I'm most comfortable with, I guess?
2. What genres do you like reading most? You may pick two.
Action/adventure and suspense
3. What annoys you most about some fanfictions?
If there are no paragraphs, (so if its just a singular wall of text) I won't read it. Poor grammar and spelling also turns me away, even if the plot is great.
4. What's one story cliche you wish would change?
Forbidden romance/love triangles, I guess. Actually, unnecessary romance in general, especially if its outside the romance genre. I mean, romance itself is fine, but love triangles/forbidden romance seems a bit overused these days. Put an original spin on it and I'll certainly check it out, though.
5. How important is grammar to you while reading a story?
Very. I won't read it if it has poor grammar.
6. Are there any prefixes or suffixes that you absolutely hate? If so, which ones?
Anything that clan cats wouldn't naturally come across. I guess things like 'winter', 'autumn' and other distinctly 'human' words that the cats don't use.
7. Are there any prefixes or suffixes that you absolutely love? If so, which ones?
Anything unusual, pretty much. I'm a huge fan of 'frost', 'shade' 'slate' 'mask' and 'ridge'
8. Do you prefer short chapters, or long ones?
Long chapters
9. What is the ideal number of chapters to a story in general?
It depends on how much I'm enjoying the story, I guess.
10. Do banners affect whether or not you'll read a fanfiction? If so, how?
Sadly, yes. If the thread is more visually appealing, I'm more likely to keep scrolling.
11. Does the author affect if you'll read a fanfction? As in, would you read a fic written by a well known author over a newer one?
Not really, but if one of my favourite authors posted something new, I'd definitely check it out before I look at any others. That being said, I won't completely ignore other fics.
12. Are polls enjoyable for a story? As in, is it fun to interact with the story and author and possibly influence the story itself with polls?
Yes! I love interacting with the author!
13. How often do you 'stealth read?'(reading without posting to the author that you are indeed reading their story)
Not much - I barely have the time to keep up with the fics I'm currently reading, so anything I'm not reading is pretty low on my priority list right now..
14. Finally, favorite fanfictions so far?(I'll be nice and let you choose 3)
Curse, the HTMF trilogy and... I don't know. There are too many to choose from.
