DDD Secrets: Submission Post!

Hey everyone! As you already know, DDD Secrets will be going up on June 14th-17th. This is going to be the submissions post, so this post is where you comment and leave all of your IC secrets. Here's the lowdown on how all this happens:

SECRETS HOW-TO:
    • Use a program such as MS Paint, Photoshop, Gimp, Jasc Paint Shop Pro, or some other program capable of combining a picture and text. OR even just a color-filled background and text.
    • Keep all secrets within 600x600 pixels. It's okay to go smaller, but for the sake of all of our viewing pleasure, internet speeds, and sanities don't go beyond that size.
    • All secrets are to be written in character, as a gag secret made by players (about your own character, someone else's, to cause IC conflict, whatever you want so long as it is NOT a veiled attack against a player), or as "not!secrets" (ex: "I ship it," secrets that give away the secret maker, et cetera).
    • Upload your pictures to places such as tinypic, photobucket, imgur, or other embed-capable image hosts.
    • Post your secret in a comment to this post. Anon is enabled, so you may post anonymously, logged-in, or however you like. All comments are screened. For your convenience, you may copypaste the following form into a comment just so it looks nice and neat and you don't have to type out the code:

    URL: PICTURE URL GOES HERE
    TEXT: Exactly what it says in the picture. This will be posted outside of the cut so that people can figure out what they say even if they have slow connections. Literally just copy/paste whatever's on the picture here.

    It should look like this when you submit it:

    Except, you know, make sure it's the right size. I legitimately just grabbed that off Tumblr to make a sample. Secrets all need to be 600x600 or smaller, as earlier stated! THE ONLY EXCEPTION TO HOW YOU SHOULD POST THIS IS IF YOUR IMAGE CONTAINS NSFW MATERIALS. Instead of posting the image itself in the comment, put a nice bolded NSFW instead, then the URL and the text. This is mostly so I don't open up a giant picture of some animu cock while my grandma's in the room or I'm in public. Any NSFW pictures will be linked instead of embedded in the post with a warning.
    • If for whatever reason that doesn't work, you can send a secret directly to a moderator through AIM or Plurk. We definitely prefer the first way so that we can keep everything in one place and nothing gets skipped though!


THINGS TO KNOW:
    • One of the moderators will be uploading ALL images in a random order to a photobucket account; that means no matter what you name it or when you submit it, when it shows up in a post will likely change. So don't worry about calling it "charactername-secret2013" or something along those lines. No one will see it but the moderators.
    • Some characters probably wouldn't write and submit secrets normally, right? Even under the security of anonymity, it can be difficult to imagine a character expressing themselves in this format. That's why we allow the idea of community-based compulsions. Basically, the community made your character really really want to do it against their will. If you still don't think that would work, feel free to still submit a secret on your own and have your character flail at it ICly. It's all about fun in the end!
    • The moderators see every secret. If there's something that seems like a veiled personal attack on another player, we will either contact you to sort it out or not post it. If a secret of yours has not been posted by the June 17th's post, feel free to contact a moderator to find out why.
    • The posts will be image heavy. We will try to cut it off at 30 maximum images per day.
    • Remember, this is not a DDD Secrets for the players, it is purely in character. It'll even be posted ICly. (With an additional link to that post in the OOC comm so it's super easy to find.)


CONTACT
    • If you have any questions, feel free to ask here or contact a moderator directly.
    • If you have any troubles before or during DDD Secrets, contact a moderator directly ASAP and we'd be happy to help you sort out whatever's going on!
