Animation Source Forums

In addition to the rest of the site rules, these rules apply to the adoption topics.

When making an adoption topic you must;
- Add images of the character(s) up for adoption.
- Add a small bio for each character. - It doesn't have to be an entire story, just an idea of the character.
- Put effort into your topic, please try and avoid first-come-first-served adoptions.
- Not use stolen characters, art or renders/lineart. Create it yourself or don't make the topic.
- Try not to post multiple adoption topics. Put all characters for adopting in one topic.
- Add only character's for adopting. If you made one you want to keep yourself - don't add it with "mine" labelled next to it.
- Add a bio form for people replying who want to adopt to fill in.
- Post only characters and/or designs for adoption. There's not a lot of point in adding ones you're keeping and thus no one can adopt.


If you can't think up a bio form, here is a small template one you can use;

Code: Select all

Name:
Age:
Gender:
Breed/species:
Personality:
History:

When replying to an adoption topic you must;
- Add a coloured image of the character you want to adopt.
- If you're using a lineart or render - only good colourations will be allowed. It must look like the character.
- Add a bio for the character.


If you want people to adopt your characters - it helps to make a good adoption topic;
Most people don't like very messy topics or confusing ones.
Examples of good and bad adoption topics:

Good Adoptions:
- Old characters you no longer use.
- Pups of your characters.
- Siblings of your character you don't feel like keeping.

Bad Adoptions:
- Random brightly coloured wolves/dogs you made up 5 minutes ago.
- Random "I have a ton of wolves for adoption!" topics in general. No one likes puppy-mills.



-- If you see an adoption topic not following these rules, please report it.

These seem like they'll be very useful,and handy rules.

=D I'm so glad this is finally up! It will come in handy

Yay, I am very glad this is up =) The adoption section may be worth looking at now XD

I'm very happy indeed.

Really, I can't see any reason why anyone would need more than one topic...
Just put them all in the same topic, if you have a lot of characters that need adopting, put some up and then as some are adopted put more up.

*Adds that to the list*

ilu yookay. <3

Is a bio required now? That would be awesome because then it would cut down on the "I made this up on MSPaint five minutes ago" topics. On that subject, can we try to make it more relevant? Such as...

GOOD ADOPTIONS
- Old characters you no longer use
- Pups of your characters
- Siblings of your character you don't feel like playing

BAD ADOPTIONS
- Neon wolves you made up this morning
- RANDOM WOLF ADOPTION LOL topics in general

Yep. From now on adoption topics should include bios.

& added that to the topic, with some slight editing.

Finally! You're amazing U.K At least the message will finally get through.

Lol. Don't thank me, I just made the topic. P=

I've got a question
Can the persons say "pics in my gallery"? It really annoys me.

Rex - No.
It doesn't take much for the person to just add links in their topic, no one wants to go searching through galleries and pics to try and find the character's for adoption.
Therefore - pics or at least links to them must be added in the topic.
:3

XD I'm so glad this was posted. The adoption forums needed some rules

How is it not fair? There are plenty of good, already made characters out there, and it's not so hard to make up a design for yourself, if you can make one up for others.
