fandomsecrets | (no subject)

Because some people have taken it upon themselves to resize and resubmit every single secret from the past week or two, confusing a lot of people who are seeing them twice and calling them repeats, etc etc --

New rule.

N!S, N!F, TB, (and any other secret linked on the main post) will now be considered repeats upon resubmission. This doesn't apply to secrets that get eaten by LJ or accidentally missed, of course, so don't worry about that!

Here are all the secrets you would have had to see twice this week (not counting the additional 10 or so from yesterday's post):

Also, please read the rules before submitting anything to this comm. Especially the one that goes: 7. Once a secret is submitted, it will be posted. Be sure it's something you're comfortable revealing, even anonymously! Please don't PM me to find your secret among the 600+ others and delete it. From today onward, I'm just going to ignore it -- you did have fair warning. And here is another one.

This is not up for debate.

it amuses me that people are so desperate to get their secret into submission cue that they can't take the time to make sure it is posted correctly (too big secrets, I'm looking at you). and if it's a n!s or n!f because the mod deemed it that way, give it up and accept that your stupid secret was just too dumb.

Except people don't seem to resubmit secrets marked N!S or N!F.

Also, does this rule include secrets marked N!F that are actually for a fandom (such as the recent Lost/The Prisoner one)?

Ones that are actually my fault because characters were pictured and stuff, yeah, those I'll put back up, sorry.

But things like that --

I ship a holly tree with some other tree and therefore it's fandom because Holly is the name of someone in some series that wasn't referred to at all in the secret!!

-- no.

To be fair to that secret maker, it's not just their names, but also the name of the show. Not saying that makes it any more of a fandom secret but that seems less obnoxious than random character names.

I've had secrets marked as not fandom just because the fandom wasn't immediately obvious, which frankly annoys the fuck out of me.

Yes, because clearly

technophile needs to know all fandoms and vague references to it by heart!!!

Seriously, make it clear it's about a fandom or get over it.

It was clearly about a character. The test was something about "The first time I liked [X Character] was when I found out [X fact] about him." The picture didn't make clear who the person was, so it was marked not fandom.

e.e

If you give me "The first time I liked bob was when I found out that he was secretly pregnant" with a picture of a tree or something, no, sorry, not fandom.

It was a picture of the character with his head bowed and face obscured by his hair. :|

Really? Where is it, got a link?

-- not intended to be in a confrontational tone, just wondering why I put it in NF then, because I shouldn't have.

why not just write text in the body of your comment and say

Fandom: Susy Comical Has a Day Off.

Then Case doesn't have to fucking GUESS!

Then post the fandom dumbass.

You do have the option of listing the fandom when you submit the secret itself, wouldn't that uhm... completely nullify the problem you seem to of had?

Just sayin.

That doesn't solve the problem, really -- if the image itself isn't linked to fandom somehow, just saying that 'oh it's Dr Who' won't do anything.

Wow, why am I not surprised that you're saying this anonymously?
Also, what does being off topic regarding fandom have to do with being "just too dumb"?

fandom secrets? a comm for posting secrets about fandom?

secrets not about fandom posted to the comm would be....OFF TOPIC?
