Would you like new Source sites? Do you have favorite films or series that you'd love to see here?
Then you're on the right place!
What's this?
This project consists in proposing yourself to make Source sites similar to the ones you already know : Balto Source, The Lion King Source..., applying the same formula to other films/series.
Because I don't have time to do everything myself, and I'm not a fan of every film/series that exists, I have made a quite simple interface to make the sites. So (almost) anyone can help!
What should I do?
If you're interested in helping, just submit an entry to this contest.
Two possibilities : either you're good at writing, or you're good at designing (or both!)
So, you can submit either a text or a picture, or both.
What kind of text can I submit?
Please submit a short description of the film / series, and/or a description of one character (to test your writing skills).
Write your text into a regular document file (any format you want : .doc, .txt, .odt ...)
Example : /talespin/en/info_general/&id_film=9
Some advices :
- You must write these texts ENTIRELY YOURSELF!!! No copy/paste from another website such as Wikipedia will be allowed! I want ORIGINAL content, don't submit anything if you don't want to make efforts!
- Of course, a good level of grammar / spelling will be required.
What kind of picture can I submit?
You can submit a picture of a design you have created, for a possible new Source site.
This is the model on which all the sites will be based :
(click to expand)
And this is what I have obtained when I created the one for Talespin Source (which took me around 10 hours to make - yes, making a good style DOES take time) :
If you'd like to submit a design, just send a picture of your design. You can use any software you want to make it (Photoshop, Gimp, Photofiltre...)
It must be "based" on the model I have given above. (meaning that the elements should be at the same place and with the same dimensions) You must only provide a picture.
I will only select members who can make styles "on par" with the current sites styles! Quality over quantity!
Some advices :
- Use a "professional" picture editing software, such as Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro or The Gimp. Why? Especially because these have possibility to manipulate layers, which are extremely important.
- Respect the model given (there are some levels of "freedom", although I will explain more precisely later - for now, just try to globally stick to the model...)
- Respect the sizes : width especially - you can expand heights if you want.
- Keep your "working files" (PSD files for Photoshop, for example) : if you get chosen, the style you submitted may be effectively used for the site that will be created. But it may have to be modified, so keep everything you used to make it!
Why should I do this?
The entries submitted will help to choose members who will get permissions to making the sites.
I have set up a very far deadline, but I will choose members progressively, when I think you are up to the job.
What types of sites can I suggest?
In the past, I suggested doing only traditional animated films. Then, I progressively accepted CGI films and modern animated films.
I am now opening the possibility to make new sites of any film or series you'd like, as long as it's animated!
So, anything from western to japanese (Dragon Ball, Naruto...) to european (Asterix, Tintin ...) can be accepted, as well as any form of animation (claymation / stop motion, computer generated, drawings).
I have a question!
Sure! Just post a comment below, and I'll try my best to answer! :)

* The background is now green instead of green so it blends with the foreground.
* More shading has been added behind the text to stand out more.
* A minor issue with the hedge texture has been fixed.
* Some characters in the menu section graphics have be repositioned, including a new graphic featuring The Verminator.
* Menu section graphics for "Advertisement" and "Buy the DVD" have been created.
* The SITE_ROUND and SITE_ROUND_HOVER graphics have been added. The cookie graphic is the cookie shoutbox emoticon made by MightyBalto1925, and I have used it with her permission.
* Borders added to menu section graphics.
* Graphics changed to JPEG files, except for the menu section graphics which are PNG files.
Hope you guys like my work so far. If any more changes are required, feel free to inform me.

If you mean just sending plain screenshots without anything else... probably not. That's not really site building. (even if it has to be done at some point)
If we start a Little Mermaid Source, would you be able to do the content too?

I'll accept this new site, it's been highly requested!

Here is my beta layout for it. I haven't worked on the banner yet and some parts need fixing, but there's a quick general overview.
pala
So, while I will reveal nothing of the source plan I am working on, I will rejoin this, get my text work done, and submit when my layout person is similarly ready to do so. Then we'll see what comes of that.
pala
I presume any intelligent person would see that as a good thing.
However, just needed to clarify that one point. Part of your last statement necessitated this. Had you not said that, I would have had nothing else to say here. However, that's all that I needed to say. Moving on now.
Now, I agree with you: time to move on =)
pala
I want, expect and insist upon fair treatment. As any member would. I hoped, perhaps foolishly, that sooner or later I'd receive it. You haven't the length of time as a member of this site, nor the intimate understanding of all the unpleasantness that has happened here over time, to be able to speak on it with any degree of authority. So, instead of us beating a dead horse, since we've each spoken on it, how about we DROP it now? Or are you trying to get me upset enough to where you think I'll say something touchy enough to justify some punitive action?
Time to move on. We've both said what we have to say. Again, you've said nothing that offers anything of value to me, nor which I put any credence in.
It's just like you'll never change, cause you're too pride of yourself to realize you can be wrong. With all the things you said about Steet, do you really think he wants to give you a chance? With all the things you say about the mods, do you really think they'll like you or trust you?
I don't think an egomaniac is someone who refuse to give rights to the first who ask, because he asks again and again... I think the egomaniac is the one talking about himself for years and who think the whole world except some people is wrong, and that he's the leader Animation Source was waiting to be freed from the tyrannical Steet! Sorry for the irony, but that is really the impression I have, as the child who doesn't understand anything since she's here. But as you make your story public, I don't see why I shouldn't have my word. Animation Source is a site I like, and want to see improve.
And "Incidentally, I find it unconscionable of you to infer that I had unwholesome motives for asking for your Skype contact info."
Designs by the way have to be done (for what I know) with original images from the movies, but that's just a detail I wanted to precise.
Of course people will disagree, we are numerous on this site, and that's normal that your friends agree with you. But you shouldn't think people can't have their own opinion - I don't see which former member you're talking about at all �.o
It's true for Skype - people use it as a communication tool. But I already have many people on it, and I personally want to use it in a different way.
Anyway, it seems nothing will never change. "*I* tried". Sorry if it hurts you, really, at the beginning I wasn't giving my point of view for that AT ALL, just to tell you to do as every other people do, but I won't let the drama going on in here. That's useless, as it already seems to hurt. Perhaps I'll do as other people do after trying : ignored...
Plus, the subject is for new sources, not old grumpy members (and that perhaps counts for both of us ).
Sorry for my english mistakes by the way, I know I've made many.
PS: And for the egomaniac, I think you were talking about fan characters? On which I would agree with you. I didn't dislike you as much as you may think. It's just that you could be so much better.
pala
Skype is a communication tool. For more than just "friends". If you use it that way, so be it. But people use it for more communication applications than just chatter between friends.
pala
You're a kid. And you haven't liked me since a certain unnamed former member started creating a lot of flame wars and politics between members about me, which he drew you into.
So really, I don't have any interest in what you have to say. It doesn't hold water for me now, and it never has. I don't place any value on your opinions or observations.
But to answer your incredulity, I have TRIED to stay here because I have things of value to offer and, in spite of attitudes like yours, I have friends here who would like me to stay. And I refuse to be driven away by those who seem hell-bent on bullying and teasing me and grinding me under the ban heel every time I express my frustration. There was a time when I could contribute without all this nonsense, and I have been TRYING to convince steet to allow me to have that opportunity again. That is not something you have any business stepping into the middle of.
I have tried several times to extend an olive branch to steet, and to try to ask to contribute again. It's he who's knocked it away with a callousness that is all too typical of him. I find it ironic and amusing how you talk about how self-centered I am, and yet several staffers AND non-staffers have known very well how I've tried to get steet to come to the proverbial table and wipe any differences between us CLEAN, and to start fresh. They've even tried on my behalf. They've always been met with stone silence or bad attitude...from him. Not me. Seems to me that the self-centered attitude doesn't lay with me.
I expressed my frustration here initially because I have been TRYING to make headway with steet. HE refuses to take those steps. Or to give me a chance. His response here is evident of that. Even when I actually had a fan artist, who's also a member here, willing to work with me on my own contribution (I'll leave that person's name out of it, so they don't get dragged into this), even when I was close to finishing my submission, steet's response was:
"I don't think you'd accept to build a site and then not participate in its life as member on that site, which is why I'm not very willing to give it a try."
So not only has he jumped to an erroneous and foolish conclusion, but he is unwilling to even give anything else I'd submit a try. That sounds pretty selfish from where I'm sitting. And I've seen reactions from several people already, who refuse to risk being banned (as I probably will be for speaking up again), in order to speak in my support. Because that always ends bad for them even when they do want to help.
It's ridiculous that it has gotten to this point. And pathetic. I didn't need to be, and it could have played out MUCH differently. *I* tried.
" I was unwilling to tolerate egomania in certain people. And this site is overloaded with egomaniacs, who have effectively driven away all of the quality people who used to make this site the good thing it once was."
I just laugh so hard
If you think Steet is a so awful webmaster, why are you still here? It is his creation, he can do what he wants with it. Create your own, JC, if you think you can do better
(And by the way, how fun to see how much you want my Skype instead of PMs, while talking would be the same. Skype is just for friends, what you're not. I was open to discussion, it seems you're not).
