It's come to our attention that your characters are stupendous, fascinating and creative, and that more people ought to know about how great they are.In other words, it's time to add a few new characters to the featured character rotation!
I just don't have time to comb through all the amazing sites that you guys have been creating. If I did do that, I'd be very happy, but no code would end up getting written (Yes, there's still tons going on behind the scenes. Hopefully the next update will be released in a couple days!). So I need your help. If you know of a really wonderful character that ought to be featured on our community page, please point it out. The best way to make sure your suggestion gets seen is using the suggestion form.
A reminder on the featured character guidelines:
- Featured characters need to have icons! We want to put our best foot forward for guests, so we vastly prefer to feature characters that have a pretty graphic to go along with them, to prevent the community page from wearing too many question mark icons.
- The profile is reasonably complete. There's no specific length requirement, but it needs to look like some effort went into the character and the layout of the profile. Good use of a wide range of widgets is encouraged, although a number of the currently featured characters just made really good use of the text widgets.
- Original characters are going to get preference over remakes of characters from movies, comics, books or other copyrighted material.
- The character needs to be appropriate for a general audience, teen and up. If you're not sure, try to think about whether it would show up in your average tale of fantasy adventure. It's okay if they're a warrior that gets into fights, or if they happen to be a seductive naga lady. It's just excesses that we want to avoid.
- The better the spelling, grammar, punctuation and clarity of writing, the better!
- Please keep in mind that not every character that gets suggested will be able to be featured.
If it's a character of your own that you're suggesting, including a tag line for us would not be a bad idea. These don't need to be too complicated, just a one or two sentence blurb about what sort of character it is. Something like "A light-hearted fae minstrel who just wants to have fun" or "Sinister rumors conflict with the officially sterling reputation of this rising human noble." If you're pointing out someone else's character, don't worry about it. If their character gets picked for the rotation, we'll go ask them how they'd describe their character.
Looking forward to learning more about your favorite characters!
