OOC: announcement: upcoming Secrets Board
Just in time to stir up plots before Valentine's Day, another anonymous secrets board will appear next Friday -- that's February 9th. More specifically, it will go up around midnight Eastern Time, when Friday the 9th becomes Saturday the 10th.
Newer players might want to have a look at the previous boards, to see what we're talking about:
board one
board two
board three.
board four.
board five.
The rules are these:
Secrets are made and posted ICly, as are comments unless noted with double brackets. It should, but won't, go without saying that the secrets board is no exception to the rules of the game.
Images that are just spam or are so big they'll stretch the page will be screened, as will anything that's likely to 'trigger' muns or that has been created solely for the purpose of causing wank. Under 800x600 is best, please.
In addition, we'd like the images this time to have ALT tags whenever possible. (Here is some info about ALT tags and what they're good for.)
As for content:
Please don't char-bash without consent from the player. A loose or vague image that doesn't name the character or have a picture of them is fine, but nothing that explicitly targets a character negatively unless their mun okays it first. If you want your char free for any sort of image about them, feel free to comment with your list of chars to this post, and I'll add them to the list of fair-game chars. Please bear in mind that the characters will see the secrets, ICly, and probably try to guess who they're about. ;)
So, comment to this post to let us know whether your chars are open to having unhappy images made about them, and if so, which chars. (Note that even if a character is on the fair-game list, unhappy/negative secrets made about them must still follow game rules, e.g., no nonconsensual fourth-wall breakage.)
