I agree with DT on this one, but the sparkledogs in my opion are a bit overused and not reaslistic and people just come up with random bright or regular colors and call it good WHICH isn't so I think that rule is a good one, but haveing a HUGE bio of personality or History can be a tad much...maybe tone it down a notch?Cause some of the members on this site ARE kids so it maybe harder for them to come up with a BIG storyline...I would say at least two or three paragraph of Hisotry AND one or two lines of personality but that is how I see it....

Also add Character Reference to Fan Art, I meant it to be in both

For Fan Art Purpose

-Trade
-Request

I propose same for images

I think it's a great idea, Steet! Go for it, I think! I mean, look at the ratings! Most people like the idea!

As far as the category idea: Yes (though I voted 'Maybe'). However, that doesn't fix all of the issues, as I tried to point out recently - there will still be confusion. Please see my topic in the Rant board (which really is more of a suggestion than a rant, looking back on it): your-has-been-deactivated-t31325.html Of course, it doesn't just apply to characters, but that seems to be the area where the most issues are.
