Futurama Fandom I was very bored and decided to start a site. Not much in it yet - in fact, don't even bother going there, it's under construction - but pretty soon I will have people's fanfiction up to read (if they want me to, of course). I could put PEEL parodies on there, if anyone wants. I know it's probably been done before, but I don't think there's a single Futurama site devoted solely to fandom. Just email me your fic and I'll get it up there, or you can post it on the little crappy message board I subscribed to, specifically for the site. I'd say it's a good start, considering my very low knowledge of HTML. Note: If this whole thread seems unnecessary, then go ahead and close it. I'm going to be working on my site a little bit before it's really ready for publicity, I just want people to know in advance to send in fanfics. EDIT: Fixed the link, it was broken...

When you are taking fanart, you can put my scans on if you want, entirely up to you though. I think there's only 100 MB of space on the site, and I'm sure there's limited bandwidth (free hosts are evil), so I don't know if it can handle pictures loaded directly to the server. If you want to upload them to some free hosting, or if you have another site give me permission to have people view the pics that are on their server, then I'd be more than happy to. Which reminds me... is anyone good at making a logo? *puppy eyes*

I've got 50mb with u/l bandwidth, if you need me to host some pics or something i will do so, most of my fanart is on this host, you can link straight to them if you like. http://www.peelified.com/cgi-bin/Futurama/4-000544-1/ You should be able to link straight to the villagephotos ones too without much trouble... And about the logo, i might have a go at it, but what do you want it to look like? ------------------ The Unoffical PEEL Town bicycle. Mikey : "You hosting Slut!"

Ahh looks like a bit of competition. Your's is kool Hil but theres a typo in it " Futrama Fans unite" Well here's mine, in a variety of sizes If you want one with a plain background, tell me and i'll make you one, i would've just included it here but i screwed up and flattened the image, doh! Anyways i don't want to make it again if you're not going to use it, but it won't be a problem if you do want it. Anyway here they are Here's the original... if you want to resize/edit it yourself, its something like 2400x400 so its goes down to a good size at alright quality. http://members.lycos.co.uk/sleek85/FuturamaFandomFullsize.jpg Again, i'll host it if you need. Also I stole some of green-gesus' Text from their "Snippet" for the left of the logo. Sorry about that, I'll behave if you tell me to get rid of it.

They're great. I'll try hosting them. I'll email you if I need you to host. They're both excellent logos. I'll put Rage Dump's up and when Hil fixes the typo... I'll put hers on a page too. Descisions descisions... I hate picking favorites EDIT: Looking for fanfics... got one you want on the site?? Or drawings, even if they've been sneakily colored with Photoshop or something *mumbles* You people and your fancy art programs... I had to learn to do all my drawing and coloring myself! No help from any art programs, I never even got a scanner until this year...

Maybe you could use one for a link thing, or a part of your PEEL sig, something like that, just something to think about. EDIT : Oh! and if you want to upload the 800x133 logo again, I got rid of that pesky black bar on the left. EDIT2 : My opinion on the usage of the logo Hil's - Top of the page, will blend nicely into the background, and it is also a smaller file. Mine - Maybe as a footer or something, or as a 'home' or top of page button. And maybe compress the smallest one a tiny bit, and upload it as your PEEL sig, linking to your site

Hil: for your logo, you don't need the 'index.htm' at the end. www.freewebs.com/futuramafandom is enough and can be bigger and look nicer Just a friendly coment. edit: here is a logo for you. I was bored... My internet died so I got bored again... This one has a lot smaller file size if you are woried about data limits etc... Note that the 'background' image can be changed for each of these. The image I have used is only a sugestion... feel free to sugest your own.

Hey AF. I don't mean to be rude or anthing and I mean this in the nicest way possible, but there is already plenty of fanfic/fanart sites. If you realy want the site to work then you need a new gimmic or idea to get people to visit. On that note I have been thinking about starting a small site with an idea I had one day, but I don't realy have time to set it up on my own. If you like we could combine the ideas (i.e. have fanfics and my idea) and make a site that would be more likely to attract visitors and have more of a purpous of being. Mail me using the mail link at the bottom of the post if you are interested. (note that the idea isn't that good that I don't want to tell anyone, I just don't want to post about it whilst I decide if I want to build the site) ---

I can only make basic tables/layouts myself, sorry, i was never particuarly good at HTML and what i do know is essentually self-taught, along with everything else i know, you probably know just as much as me... I do think it is within my power to put it in a template... But not without a lot of screwing around and other stuff that someone else will find a hell of a lot easier. So, i'm sorry, but i can't won't do the template.

Well, i did end up doing something else tonight, so i didn't get much done... But i still did another logo, I'll finish it (Add the rest of the text in) later... As for the buttons and stuff, i did a couple, but i won't show them just yet, i'm still trying to get the colour gradient right... Anyway heres the logo, just picture it with the words "uturama andom" after the double F thing Also, i haven't shrunk it yet. I'll be flat out tomorrow, but i might get the rest done still, we'll see how we go.

Originally posted by Asylum-Fry: Themes, themes... I found something that will most definitely stand out from the crowd. CONTESTS!
Yes, two contests. A fanart one (where the artists are given a theme, and there will be voting), and a short story one (where the writers are given several things to incorporate into the story/a location/a specific theme). Sounds good?
Futurama_Hil: That could work... yes... With a contests page, it's always good to have a "<Blank> of the <Time>" (Eg. Fanfic of the month) Also i'm getting 404's when i try and get to your site... Hmmm... And Hil, while that would fix the choosing problem, it makes the site confusing, and difficult to get around. And a 100% basic lesson in HTML <b> Bold</b> <i> Italics</i> <a href=http://www.yoursitehere.com.au target=_new>Links</a> Links Don't ask why, i just felt like doing that. And if you don't know HTML, doesnt work on PEEL, (it does on Asy-Fry's message board though )
