fanpop Article: Props&Encouraging

65

posted by HannaK

When I first started on fanpop I didn't exactly know what fanpop really was, I just was on fanpop so I could see video of my favourite tv shows.
But then I noticed that anda could do other things like answering picks and I started to do that.
Some picks made me laugh really hard, other made me think about things that I've never really thought about.
I did that for a while and it was (and still is) really fun to do and then I began to notice that when I couldn't sleep, atau just was bored, I was making picks in my head.

And then I had this brilliant idea (yes, I know, I'm a genius:D) that I could make picks too!
I thought about it for ages, because I really wanted to make a good pick and after a while I came up with one and I made a pick.
After I made a pick, I was very nervous, 'would people like it?' I thought and 'What if they find it lame atau something?'
But the most people found it a good pick, and they berkata it was great and that I should make more. (of course, there are always people who say 'what a pointless pick', but I got over that)
Someone gave me my first prop and I felt so proud!
And I made lebih picks, and uploaded pictures and more.

The thing that I'm just trying to say is that when anda like a pick, atau a video atau something, that it is alright to say it, especially when that person is new on Fanpop, because anda really encourage him.
anda don't have to give someone pujian all the time but just a sentence like 'great pick' atau something realle helps a lot. Hopefully, that person thinks that he/she should make lebih picks and that he/she should be lebih active on Fanpop.

Bottom line: enjoy fanpop and try to let other(new) people see that they can enjoy fanpop as much as anda do!

P.S English is not my first language so I make a lot of mistakes, I try to make as least as possible but if there are (a lot) mistakes in this article: sorry.

HannaK yeah, I totally forgot, the image 'general prop' is from knifewrench!

scififan amazing article!! I remember when I got my first prop...I didn't even know what a prop was :) Every time I get one it is just so encouraging for me. You're right; there are a good many people who just don't say anything. I always find it helpful to recieve comments on my stuff, even if it is an "unhappy" comment. It helps me to improve. Once again, great article!!!

inespinto great article and I agree a 100%, I also love when I get props because it encourages me to make more and add more and it's also good for the ego!! oh and your English is really good, I didn't notice it wasn't your first language

Stop taking credit for other people`s work, JUST STOP!

STOP STEALING!

This was originally diposting in the One pohon bukit, hill spot but a user asked that it be diposting here as well. I post a lot of things to Fanpop, especially images. Something that in my opinion is very important, is giving credit where it is due. If anda find something on the web and want to share it, then feel free to post it. However, it is extremely disrespectful to claim that anda created that content if anda didn`t atau simply not bother to credit.

Lately I`ve been coming across a lot of gambar of say a celebrity where the user who uploaded the picture, gives themselves credit. It is certainly possible...

chaos zamrud, emerald that glow bright
shadow 1 head quill was on the chaos emerald
out of a flash come hedgehog that
look like sonic in looks most
what the thought shadow looking
at the sonic look a like blushing

Fanpop- This Time it's for Real.

posted by crazyduds2

Since I've been membaca so many artikel about the levels of fanpop users, and because this bulan is my one tahun anniversary of being on Fanpop, I've decided to set a daftar of goals in the upcoming tahun of Fanpop. anda know, like New Years Resolutions, only a bulan earlier.

Well, I guess I should tell my story. I first came to fanpop oleh a chance encounter. Back when I was on my Canada craze, I googled everything that had to do with the televisi shows 6teen and Total Drama Island. I was on about the sixth page of the cari when I saw "6teen fan spot." I immediately clicked the link, wondering...
