Livejournal can be quite confusing for people who don't use it, so here's a short guide including the most important things anda have to think of when crediting icon from livejournal.
Why do I even have to credit?
anda won't go to jail if anda don't, but...
1.)People spend quite some time making icon and crediting them is a sign of respect
Think about how anda would feel if anda made some icon and suddenly you'd find them on some other site without your name mentioned anywhere.
2.)So anda repost some pretty icon from livejournal, another fanpopper sees them and wants to see lebih icon from the person who made them.
If anda didn't add credit, they have no idea where to look for more.
Can I just put "livejournal" as credit?
Of course anda "can", but it sucks butt. Do anda know how many livejournal users there are? Right.
So I just put the name of the livejournal user and that's okay?
Don't forget to add livejournal atau lj too! If anda just put "cadley", no one knows where this cadley diposting their icons. Might as well be cadley from deviantart, cadley from xanga,...
So put: cadley@lj atau cadley@livejournal atau something like that.
What if I just copy and paste the link?
Not the best idea. Works in some cases, but in other cases the link/name of the person atau community is too long and as a result anda can't see it all and then it's for nothing.
So as long as I credit I can repost all the icon I find on livejournal, right?
anda can eat the moon, if anda can.
Sometimes a maker writes "Don't repost them anywhere!"..or "Don't repost them on fanpop!" in the icon post atau on their community's profile.
anda should look out for that and if anda see it, refrain from reposting those icon here.
*pouts*And what if they are so pretty I really really wanna post them on fanpop?
anda have two options.
1.)Post a link to the icon post.
2.)If anda have a livejournal account, send a message over to the maker and ask them, if anda can repost them here.
Most makers will be very pleased to hear that anda liked their icon and that anda ASKED instead of just ignoring their rules.
Many makers write"Don't hotlink!"- What does that mean?
Nothing anda have to worry about. Hotlinking isn't possible on fanpop.
Communities vs. personal journals
Most livejournal users post their icon in communities, only few of them post them in their personal journals.
The difference is that if they post in communities, there will be two names selanjutnya to the icon post-the name of the user and the name of the community.
Now who to credit?
It is okay to credit either the user atau the community, however it would probably make lebih sense to credit the user, since many graphic communities are run oleh lebih than only one maker.
What do I need to consider when I credit communities?
anda need to make sure that the community anda credit is the community the icon batch is at!
There are several icon sharing communities, where people post 3 examples of their work and then link to the community the post is at!
An example of that is the community link.
anda can't credit this community, there are hundreds of makers who just crosspost there.
Follow the individual link to the icon batches and the communities they are diposting at.
He, I saw someone posting icon without credit!
For the cinta of god, tell them! Even at the risk of sounding like their momma. LOL.
Remember to be polite about it though. There's no need to leave a pissed komentar like: Ey u dumbass u didn credit these iconz!!!11
They'll probably ignore anda anyways, but if people repeatedly tell them they forgot to add credit they'll get annoyed after some time and just put some credit....Or they won't.
And then there are some who then ask anda what image credit is. anda explain it to them and made the world a better place, no lebih children will be starving in africa and there will be no lebih wars♥
Okay now I know how to credit lj graphics- but what about photoshoots of celebs, movie screencaps,...?
