Your daily dose of the pretty...
Due to whimsy, a chance comment in my previous post has led to me creating
bish_a_day, dedicated to hopefully posting at least one picture of a bishounen/biseinen/whatever a day. As your capricious and arbitraty comm owner, I'm limiting posting access to select members only - i.e., people I can trust not to be tools about it - although I trust you guys not to be tools and will grant you postign access. Naturally, anyone can watch or be a non-posting member and go nuts in the comments.
The comm rules, which I'm working up, will mostly be:
My capricious and totally arbitrary rules for members with posting access
1. Not all members have posting access. This is because I rule with an iron fist. And I hate you.
2. Focus on anime and manga bishounen -
bishie_daily is where you can go to get your daily photo fix. Actors and models playing anime and manga characters in live-action movies, TV shows, and photo shoots are OK. Or if, y'know, you can't resist. But I expect an elaborate and entertaining justification for it!
3. LJ-cuts are your friends, especially when there's more than one image or it's large enough to screw up layouts. NSFW pics, behind cuts with a warning, please.
4. Let's try to stay away from all-icon posts, posts that are nothing but links to another LJ (give us at least one pic before sending us to your journal!), .
5. My definition of "bishounen" is loose - bishounen, biseinen, pretty animated guys, whatever. The farther away from traditional bishounen you get, the more creative a justification I expect!
My capricious and totally arbitrary rules for non-posting members, watchers, and drive-bys
1. Go nuts in the comments. Have fun. Drool, RP, pimp your art, your icons, random spammage, whatever. But don't whine to me if the original poster asks you not to do it, deletes your comment, screens it, freezes the thread, disables anonymous comments, gets one of the mods to ban you for being annoying, or in some way curtails your fun.
2. You can be granted posting access by participating in the comments a lot and not being an idiot. It may take a while for one of us to get around to granting it, though. :) Bribes will be considered.
3. Feel free to argue that a character isn't technically a bishounen. We won't actually pay any attention to you, but if it makes you feel better, you can complain. We here for the pretty, not the terminology.
