OOO! July, how did you do that?

New Fandom by Xanthia B. on 2009-12-30 01:44:00 UTC Reply

Have a couple of questions, hope you don't mind answering them:

1. Could I add a new page to PPC wikia to describe this new Fandom?
2. If there are badfics, where do I list them?
3. Could I make up a new type of minis, such as mini-Knightmares?
4. Does anybody know a Permission Giver's email? I MIGHT need Permission sometime.

Thanks,
~Xanthia B.~

1. Could I add a new page to PPC wikia to describe this new Fandom? Of course you can! Everyone is allowed and encouraged to edit and alter the wiki and add to it if they want.
2. If there are badfics, where do I list them? Right here. Add the category where appropriate if you need to.
3. Could I make up a new type of minis, such as mini-Knightmares? Of course you can, if there's no OFU for the canon in question. If there is, they usually list what the mini is in the first chapter or so. (Oooor you can just ignore that.) Try to not choose anything common or not unique. Like mini-Dragons.
4. Does anybody know a Permission Giver's email? I MIGHT need Permission sometime. I know many PG emails, and would amuse myself by giving some of them to you, but you can also ask for Permission right here in the open on the board. I believe that's the usually preferred way of doing things.

*Disappears!*

That dissapearing font thing? I didn't know you could change text colour here.

I checked the page sourceÂ… by Tawaki on 2009-12-30 22:23:00 UTC Reply

…and it seems that you must change the color of each letter individually

I mean the code for changing font colours. by Sedri on 2009-12-31 03:03:00 UTC Reply

I know how to italicise i > and bold b >, but I'm no code expert, and changing colours ie beyond me.

I'll try to learn it. Thanks :)

<font color="[colornumber]"> , where [colornumber] is the color you want in hexadecimal: #000000 is black (00 red, 00 blue, 00 green), #FFFFFF is white (FF red, FF blue, FF green), and any other color is somewhere in between - #FF0000 is bright red, #009900 is a darkish green, and so on. There's a useful description of the things here.

Speaking of HTML, you should know I've got your stories up in the archive, with some other stuff, here: Lost Tales: DoSAT.

Let me know if it's okay. DoSAT is yours by association, so if you want the "keys" so you can do stuff in the section, you have but to ask.

Font color. by Neshomeh on 2009-12-31 03:50:00 UTC Reply

Font colors work with a hexadecimal color code, meaning a six-number code of numbers 0-9 and letters A-F. All 0s is no color, or black; all Fs is white. Between, you've got red, green, and blue. For example:

produces red text.

produces green text.

produces blue text

I've also bolded the text so the color shows up better. Numbers produce darker, more saturated colors. If I want really bright colors, I switch over to letters:

Bright red!

Bright green!

Bright blue!

Always use to close a font tag.

You can combine numbers and letters for different results:

Dark green.
Brighter dark green.
Darker bright green.
Bright green.

Unfortunately, that's as well as I understand it, so if I want more complex colors, I cheat.
