Scythe

A few years ago all posters with under 101 posts were able to use a 'Standard Avatar' from a selection pre-uploaded to the site. When the size of avatars changed from 45 x 45 to 100 x 100, a decision was made to eliminate the default avatars. However, we would like to bring them back and we would like all posters to have a chance to submit avatars for consideration. Posters will still need 101 posts to upload a custom avatar of their choice.

We're going to add 5 avatars per board. All Moderators will pick 10 and the Graphics Team will then select the final 5 from those 10.

To make things easier, we will be doing this in categories starting with TV Shows: Present.

TV Shows: Present Feb 1st - Feb 15th
Female Celebrities Feb 15th - Mar 1st
Male Celebrities Mar 1st - Mar 15th
Music Artists Mar 15th - Mar 29th
Sci-fi/Fantasy and Fan Extras Mar 29th - Apr 12th
TV Shows: Past Apr 12th - Apr 26th
General Discussion May 3rd - May 17th (sorry about the slight delay)

New boards will get their 5 avatars as soon they have been made permanent.

Anyone can submit an Avatar and if you would like to submit any avatars for this board, please post them here on this thread. Make sure that they follow all of the rules outlined below.

Rules for avatars:
1) Please don't include any text on the avatars.
2) No animated avatars.
3) Keep in mind that the avatars should be a general representation of the board.
4) You may submit up to 5 avatars (no more) per person per board.
5) Apart from rules 1 & 2, whatever style, colors, brushes, textures you use is up to you!
6) All avatars must be 100px x 100px

Please only submit avatars that you have made yourself. If you need help/suggestions please check out the thread here on the Fan Art board. You can see the icons we have already uploaded in the Edit Avatar page of your User CP.

You may start posting your avatars here right away!

1. Love the idea. Can't wait to see people's work.

2. What would be a "general representation" of the Couples Board? Can we summit icons for our shipping couples or would the images have to be of random couples.

Example

Shipping Couple


General Couple

Shipping couples should be fine, isabella36 - especially if they don't have a separate board at ff already - but possibly the more well known couples, kind of like the boards graphic, would be a better representation of the board. But it's down to the mods what 10 icons are passed through to the graphic team, I'd say make whatever you like and let them decide for you

It's kind of tricky since there's so many couples and everyone has different ships. So, like Jenny said, maybe pick couples that are popular, but aren't part of a board here on and don't already have standard avatars.

Movie couples would also be good. Besides Pirates, Star Wars, High School Musical, and the book/movie boards, Twilight and Harry Potter, there's no other movie boards. So popular movie couples besides those would be nice.

Thanks. Whatever is submitted I bet it will be awesome. We have some very talented people around.
