WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT!?
This is the Shippers board, a place for you to introduce your characters to the site, as well as tell everyone some info about yourself. Spam is welcome and encouraged. Shippers are also a great way to meet friends and chat. You will want to give your shipper a name, such as song titles or lyrics, a title that has to do with a theme; you have a creative license so you should try to be creative :]
Here are a few examples of good titles (please don't use these, think of your own):
BIBBITY BOBBITY BOO <33 (Kyle's shipper)
take me away_♥ [teh kyle lives here.]
please be sure to include your name in parentheses or the title so that we know who you are. and yes, your first name, we want to know YOU, not your character. <333 please keep in mind to not release any personal information including telephone number, address, location, surname, or anything you don't want a stranger on the internet to know.
this is probably a new idea for most of you, but on another site i'm a member on, it works wonderfully. i'd like to try it out and see how it goes. you are not required to have a shipper, but it is encouraged and a great way to tell people about yourself; also for other people to get to know your characters. i will be putting mine up shortly so you can see what i really mean.
so, what you say is the difference between a shipper and a social profile? WELL, a social profile is all about your char's relationships with other chars, when the shipper is more about you. your characters are expected to be mentioned on the post somewhere, because people can come and post if they'd like a thread or just start a conversation; social profiles are more about the RP-ing when shippers are about having fun. if you have any questions feel free to PM kyle, he knows all about this ^^;
phew, with that all written out, have fun! spam is love :] <33
