FAQs?

[rainbowmods]

Hello there, Lounge. As you may have guessed from the subject line, we're in the process of putting together an FAQ. The thing is, since we made the comm, we know what we mean by everything and so don't have the best idea of what constitutes frequently asked questions!

This is where you guys come in. Can you think of anything you might ask? Is there anything that's even slightly unclear to you? Should we expand on anything at all? Absolutely anything along those lines, we'd like to know. Just leave a comment with any questions at all, and we'll add them to the FAQ. Repeat questions, or ones phrased differently, are completely cool with us.

To complete a colour, do you have to do a prompt from that colour or all the prompts? Same question as regards palettes. Are there limits to the number of prompts you can incorporate into a given piece? Can you receive credit if you'd prefer not to post your story, or must it be posted to count?

Very basic questions that make clear how challenges work, as clare_dragonfly put it, are probably the best place to start.

I would also go over some of the information that's already included within the rules, because it's helpful to have stuff like "you can have up to five colours claimed at a time" contextualized within how the comm works. Someone completely new to the shebang needs to know what that means in addition to the fact that it's a rule. So, you know--yes, it's on the honour system. No, you can't use unlimited colours at a time. Yes, you should post on the comm. Et cetera, et cetera.

Speaking of the rules, I would recommend only linking the name "rainbowfic" (rainbowfic) once. After the first time, it just makes the opening paragraph more difficult to read.

We'll do all those; they're great to know we should elaborate upon.

I'll also go ahead and take a look at the rules again now, probably edit them too. Thanks!

I'm glad I could help! ♥ It took me about twenty minutes of poking around to really get the sense of how this place works, and by the end of it, I felt a little silly, because I think I ought to have picked it up a bit faster. Ah, well--in my defense, it was a long day, lol. In any case, I think a FAQ is a great idea and will be very helpful in the future.

They're good rules on the whole, but they might be a little wordy in places. And it could just be me as regards linked comm names--they just sort of distract me, idk.

I changed the rules; would you mind taking a look and seeing if it's easier on your eyes?

Much better! It looks very nice.

Awesome, thank you! It's great to know it's easier on you.
