(non)-frequently asked questions | ||
► I am an icon maker and I would like to submit my own icons here! Yay! Welcome! Please first check that your icons haven't already been posted by me or someone else, then join the comm and read the posting rules! Then post away to your heart's content! ► How do I search past updates to see if my icons have already been posted? Please use the memories function to browse by icon maker. ► I am an icon maker and I would prefer if you did not link to my icons here! Whoops, sorry! Please leave a comment on the housekeeping post and I will leave a note to make sure that any of your icon sets already linked to here are deleted and any future posts be rejected for submission. ► What's with the no candid/interview/photoshoot icon rule? It basically comes down to personal preference. I created this comm to be a reference directory primarily for myself. If other people want to join in and help or get anything useful out of using it, that's great for them. But I made it for me, and I personally find candid/interview/photoshoot icons to be unusable. The lighting is often too harsh, the subject is often looking directly at the camera, and worst of all is that they often have no range of facial expression. If I'm looking for a pb, I want to find someone whose face displays the full range of expression, not just "smiling," "laughing," and "pouty stare." I want anger, surprise, confusion, crying, etc, etc, the whole gamut. Even characters who are emotional robots employ a subtle range of facial expression sometimes. ► Why did you create this comm anyway? Because I often find myself wanting to play female book characters with short hair and it should not be so fucking difficult to find actresses with short hair but apparently it really is because I often have to trawl through 600+ icon posts on pb_updates just to find one or two satisfactory possible pbs. HOLLYWOOD REALLY DOESN'T LIKE SHORT HAIR ON WOMEN. ► Why have you only separated the tags by hair colour and not by race as well like pb_updates does? Because I'm lazy and there honestly aren't enough short haired pbs out there anyway to justify it. If it becomes an issue later I may look into fixing it. ► Why can I only post one icon set per post? Because it makes it easier for people to find things in the future. ► Do the icons have to be on Insanejournal? No! You can link to icons on Livejournal, Dreamwidth, Tumblr, Hollow-Art, where ever. The only requirement is that you link to the original icon maker's post. ► I need a tag created! Cool. Please drop by the housekeeping post. ► I found a post that violates the community rules! Cool. Please drop by the housekeeping post. ► I would like to affiliate! Cool! Please drop by the housekeeping post. ► I have a question that isn't answered here! Cool. Please drop a comment on this post and I'll answer it when I can. | ||
