What is "text secret"? If it is secret with no illustration then (a)I approve, and (b) 15 needs to join it in the rejected list. Anything with a mass of text, either just text o its own, or so much text it obscures the picture, should be rejected.

[(Anonymous)]

I assumed a text secret was someone actually typing their secret into the comment box on the post.

[case]

A text secret is when they link me a blank image then type in the text in the comment (I'm not sure what the idea is, maybe they think I put the words on for everyone? er)

[(Anonymous)]

That's weird. Its kinda no different than when the secret is just text and no image though. You oughta start rejecting those as well. Its kinda pointless. If they are too lazy to find a picture, then they shouldn't be on here.

[(Anonymous)]

...but why?

In the rules, it even says "your "image" can be something as simple as plain old typed words on MS Paint"

[(Anonymous)]

then that rule needs to change, its as boring as fuck to see a text only secret. I never read them. it takes about 3 seconds to put text on a picture, there are websites that'll do it for you if you don't want to do it yourself FFS. Just shows contempt for the readership and other contributers who did manage 3 seconds to use a pic.

[(Anonymous)]

you take this waaaaay too seriously

[(Anonymous)]

What about when the secret applies to a wide number of fandoms, or when it's about the phenomenon of fandom in general rather than a particular series, or when the OP doesn't want to specify the fandom (too small, makes the OP's identity obvious, whatever)? Would you prefer a completely irrelevant picture to no picture at all?

[(Anonymous)]

yes

[flutingfrenzy.livejournal.com]

Sometimes people solve those problems by using pictures of cats. They're doing it right IMO.

[were-lemur.livejournal.com]

I agree with the secret that said a picture of John Simm was always relevant, and would like to expand that comment to include Sean Bean, Jack Davenport, Amber Benson ... the list goes on, but I think you get the point.

[100101011.livejournal.com]

my only problem with wall-of-text secrets with no picture is that since i don't know what it's pertaining to, i have to read a bit of it to find out if i even care. but i'm not really going to complain about it, cause it's not that prevalent.

[(Anonymous)]

it's a fandomsecret

it's not meant to win a pulitzer

just because you don't read them doesn't mean other people don't

Oh, Nathan. ♥

[case]

No, they did link a picture, they just didn't put the words onto the image (I think they assumed I did it?)

The text-on-an-image format is just for ease for me putting the post together

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe they're horrible with photo editing programs? Idk

[sandor051.livejournal.com]

A lot of the tumblr secret blogs do it exactly that way.

Just didn't bother to check how it's done here I imagine.

[hihartnfics.livejournal.com]

This. I'm guessing they're coming here from Tumblr, where you often either link to the text and image separately, or just post the text and the blog maintainer finds an image for it.

I personally like to do my own secrets, because a lot of those aforementioned comms also turn out ugly secrets. ^^;

[marshwiggledyke.livejournal.com]

okay, I'm laughing forever now.

technophile why don't you MAKE OUR SECRETS FOR US

[pelespen.livejournal.com]

This is exactly what I thought. Whoo-wow.
