I'm slightly confused on the "comic books" "NO", above. For example, if I wrote something in "The Walking Dead", a *phenomenal* TV series that was a comic book first, that would be okay but it wouldn't earn points for my team
( ... )
Your example with Sherlock Holmes is correct. Any of the TV versions are fine, but the RDJ movies are not. :)
The Walking Dead TV series counts because it is on TV. By saying comic books don't count, I mean specifically the print medium of comic books, (Superman, Batman, Marvel, DC etc..) not what was is on TV. So Walking Dead TV Series does count. Mag Seven TV series counts (the original theatrical movie however does not) The only comic books that DO count are ones that continue a TV series (i.e Buffy, Farscape)
It does not matter where the property started: comic, book, theatrical movie, .. if that property is on TV the TV version absolutely counts. In general if you turn on the TV and you watch something (as long as it's not say, Shakespeare In Love or JAWS or Rocky on HBO) then it counts

That helps a *ton*. I had a sense that I was being obtuse when I hit the "comic book" FAQ info, but I've thought I was clear before and ended up feeling frustrated or sidelined. So THANK YOU so much for your feedback, both in helping me clarify and helping me feel "safe" about possibly diving into the comm.
I'm glad that helped! Pretty much if it's on TV as a medium it's OK (That includes Made for TV movies and Mini-series as well) And we're pretty easy going, so you should be fine. :)
i am fairly sure that this is okay, but I assume that spin-off tv shows are fine? example - SG-1 to SGA & SGU; Buffy to Angel, CSI to CSI:NY, etc...well you get the idea! lol
Yes. If it is on TV it's fine. (With the exception of something that was originally in a movie theatre, such as a showing of, for example, the Harry Potter movies on ABCFamily.)
Pretty much your basic landcomm-type challenges. For the most part, they have the option to be entered either with fic or graphics (for those who might be suited toward one medium over another); and then some quick&easy challenges (like jigsaw puzzles or spam posts, etc)
Hi, i have two questions please. 1.) Are music videos or music concert programs allowed? Like when you have screen caps of a music video that would be seen on MTV or on the web. 2.) What about web-only scripted "tv" series, like The Booth at the End that never aired on broadcast or cable?
1. 99% of them, absolutely -- I am assuming you're referring to things like PBS concerts (like Celtic Woman) or VH1-type events? If you are ever unsure, though, just shoot us a link and we'll be glad to verify.
1a. Music videos are one of those things we've never really had a firm Yay/Nay on -- the whole idea of them was music on TV, but since TV has effectively stopped making videos for that medium, it's awkward.
For the sake of TVU, though, Music videos are acceptable.
2. These are absolutely acceptable (anything on Netflix, Hulu, etc, we treat like HBO -- it's a service you're paying for, but it's not releasing to a movie theater or straight-to-DVD). The only two examples that are non-Netflix I can think of, at the moment, are The Guild (which is now on Netflix, but that's beside the point and Red vs Blue. Well, I guess that Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog did start on the web, too, didn't it?
Thank you! Sometimes I still see music videos on MTV, VH-1, CMT really early in the morning & MTV still has the Video Music Awards so I assume they do still play the videos, I guess in between their other shows.

Did that help or make things more confusing? LOL

I gave up on MTV when they stopped playing videos, to be honest. LOL
