(no subject)

[case]

Lots of people have been bringing this up: what do you think about having the secret makers put the fandom in the image itself, rather than the name-the-fandom thread? Like a note at the bottom of the image (eta: or a note in the comment itself) that says:

fandom: Dr. Who, or fandom: House, or fandom: fanfiction/fanart/rp, or fandom: Pokemon/Twilight Crossover with a Bella the Bellsprout and her sparkly vampire virgin pikachu boyfriend

I'd go into effect starting with the next subs post (so everything submitted this week is fine, don't worry). The first comment would still be there for repeats and stuff like that.

[Poll #1272473]

What if the fandom is so small, spilling it would reveal the maker's identity?
If they didn't want to name the fandom, they probably wouldn't name characters or anything, right? So if it were like "I ship this one character with this other one, but no one else does and I feel alone, but this fandom is so small everyone would know it's me // fandom: character shipping"? That could work.

Does the fandom tag have to be on the image itself?
On second thought, probably not. You could just include it in the comment you put the link in, and that would work, too!

I like the idea. Another thing to think about could be to ask people to submit the name of the fandom in their submission comment, and then when you post each batch of secrets, you strip the fandom name off the comment and make a list of fandoms that you would append to the bottom of each day's post. This would help in searching (e.g., I know there was a Prison Break secret posted last week, so I can just open each day's post in a tab and do a quick ctrl+F for "Prison Break," rather than wait for all the images to load and scroll through), but if people wanted to keep their fandoms more obscure, there wouldn't be anything connecting each actual secret to the name of the fandom.

If this sounds nutty, I am on pain medication right now. XD

Damn good idea! I second this!!

But rather than appending it, just make a tabs list or a separate comment for it. But damn good idea anyways.

I like this idea better.
