Community Rules

This comm is open to anyone to post codes, layouts, resources, tutorials, and requests for help and content. Of course, we do have some rules, so please read through them before jumping in; thank you!

■ Treat others the way you'd like to be treated. This is not a drama comm, and we expect you guys to be awesome and stay civil. If a situation gets out of hand, please contact a mod, and leave comments intact so we can accurately handle the situation.

■ Please tag your posts and check out the tagging guide if you have any questions!

■ Very long posts or posts formatted with your own div styling for organization should be behind a cut to save people's f-lists.

■ Work safe above the cut, please!

■ If posting codes, guides, etc. absolutely do not post content that you did not make. That's stealing, and it's super uncool, bro! If you are posting expanded/edited codes made by yourself using another user's coding as well, please be sure you have their permission (You do not need direct permission if they allow edits to be re-posted in their blanket rules.)
■ Do not post tutorials/links to tutorials that show people how to steal codes from other users. Again: Stealing. Not cool.
■ When asking for help with something, please check the help tags (help: coding, help: graphics, help: icons, help: layouts, help: other) first to see if your question has already been posted and answered to avoid duplicates.

■ We do not allow game ads to be posted on this comm since there are so many communities specifically for that already; if you're pimping a game as an addition to a regular post, that's fine. (OK: You post an RP code and mention in the post, oh hey, also I'm running this game! NOT OK: Posts dedicated to game promo.)

■ We do allow other types of community promos if they are related to RP (icon comms, other types of resource comms, etc.) Just shoot us a comment in our dropbox beforehand and we'll let you know if it's cool to post!

So I have looked at several faux celeb comms, and their requirements and the like over the years, and those that aren't faux celeb but allow it, and I still don't really get how it works. I know one of the answers is 'however you want it to work' of course, but I don't know how I want it to work, if I want it to work differently to the comms or do the same or... well, anything.

Things I am particularly wondering about - why do most games have all musician credits but frown on using all the same credits for an actor?

How do you decide which credits to use and not use for actors? Obviously if someone is seeking a particular role that's one thing, but say you're setting up a character independently or trying to work out the other credits?

But really, any help would be great.

I've written faux celeb for a loooooong time, so I think I can help with this one! I apologize in advance, this comment is going to be a whole damn research paper LMAO

First of all, it can be confusing, I agree, because everybody does it just a little bit differently. Yes, using all the claims for one actor is frowned upon while you have to use all claims for a musician (more on that in a minute). Some comms even allow a lot of wiggle room for production dates of films and tv shows or albums in order to give people more flexibility and control over their own characters. Some comms are open minded and lenient when it comes to roles your actor can have (meaning, your pb doesn't need to be a carbon copy of the original actor who had the role) and some places get super strict, limit ages and age ranges, and even limit races when it comes to picking roles for your actor.

Here's a general guideline that might help you setup a character for a faux celeb game and get into the mindset of writing a faux celeb character:
