TEF Secrets-General Information Post [COMMUNITY PROJECT]

nothing is sacred...
((read more ♥))




Sososo lately, I had been thinking about the part of Jester I hadn’t really gotten to play about with as of yet-that is, the side of him that eavesdrops, stickybeaks, adores blackmail and scandal, and generally takes pleasure in the secrets and rumours of others. I had also been considering how this side of him could be represented in the most entertaining way not just for me, but for all of you, too. Whilst roleplaying upon livejournal for quite a few years in the past with my two main muses, Marluxia and Kuja, I was introduced during that time to a little something which allowed us all to express creativity, opinions, compliment and communicate with others, and inspire new plots and techniques of character expression that was not only effective, but very fun, as well. This wonderful phenomenon was known as ‘secrets’.

Thus, I presented to you all in this post the concept of ‘TEF Secrets’, asking for feedback and interest-and my gosh, did I get that and more~! And from the fabulousness of you all, TEF Secrets has been born ♥




Basically put, a 'secret' is an image that users make that act like an anonymous confession from their characters. Usually a secret will contain a relevant background image, and words that add to the meaning of this background image in a way that communicates a message, though the secret can be anything you like, from merely an image to a screenshot of a word document with some relevant words. Secrets usually contain ambiguous phrases, or confessions, that make plots and such more interesting, or even create them-these confessions will remain completely anonymous unless the creator admits to making it themselves. Some examples of secrets can be found here | here | here | here | here | here

Secrets can concern and contain just about anything you like (as long as they comply with the rules, which are listed below in 'the process' section) so let your creative juicies flow~! ♥




TEF Secrets works in exactly the same way as any other secrets concept-everyone within the community submits their created secrets to the organizer (me, in this case), who then posts these secrets in a post where members of the community can view them (I’m aiming for around 10 secrets per post, one secrets post every week/fortnight, life happenings permitting), comment upon them, and spawn ideas/feel fluffy from. The twist with this version though is that these secret posts will be 'run' by Jester, who has supposedly ‘picked up’ these secrets from around the forest during his sneakysneaky wanderings, and now desires to stir things up a bit by revealing his ‘wisdom’ to others~

Before submitting a secret, please read and follow these simple rules:
  • Please refrain from using any sexual, inappropriate or otherwise disturbing images in your secrets. I’m yet to decide where the borderline lies upon this-suggestive images that are not blatantly inappropriate I may possibly consider accepting for a secrets post depending on what the image contains, but secrets of this nature will be placed as a link rather than an image in secrets posts if I feel it is not safe for minors in some way. Just send in all your secrets anyway and I’ll get back to you with my opinion if I think any of them are in any way questionable. I do want this to be fun for everyone of all ages though, so if you can help it, please do not use anything that could be seen as inappropriate ♥

  • Similarly, please refrain from using any offensive language/swearing in your secrets. I will deal with secrets containing this in the same manner as possible inappropriate images if the language used .

  • Do NOT, under any circumstances, use these secrets as a way to attack, harass, offend or generally hurt or upset anyone. This is something that is all for fun, so let’s keep it that way ♥

  • Please do not pose as someone else’s character by posting secrets from them unless you have talked it over with the player of the character first. The anonymity of this idea may tempt someone to do this and, whilst I doubt it will happen, I’m putting this in there anyway, just in case~

  • Make all submitted secrets less than 800x800 pixels in size each. Feel free to make them whatever shape, colour, etc you’d like otherwise-even just text on a plain background! But please, keep dimensions below 800x800.

  • Have fun~! Play along, post comments, make secrets, guess which characters wrote each secret-in general, get involved and enjoy~ :3


But, how do you submit your secrets, you say~? Click here for everything you need to know to join the fun~! :3




A few extra notes I feel that I should add before all of this goes ahead *ahem*:

Now, I’m sure there will be a few of you that will pose the big question of ‘what about the use of copyrighted images?’-and of course, this is a relevant issue. My first point is this-if you use a copyrighted image, include a reference/link to where you found it or the person who created the original image, and I will include it below your secret as credit for the person who made the work. However, I think that this post sums up basically my view of this in most ways-basically, do not use copyrighted images unless you have permission to do so, but if you do use them otherwise, it is upon your head. In the end, this is all for fun, and unless someone has a severe problem with a secret containing the use of one of their images/a certain copyrighted image, then I am assuming that we can all take this as all in good fun and not a place for plagiarism of the work of others, and just enjoy the secrets and what enjoyment they can bring us :3

Aaand I believe that that is about it~! If you have any comments, questions, concerns or whathaveyou, do feel free to post them here, or bring them up with me in private by emailing me either through the submissions email (see here), or via my personal email/contact details, which can be found here

Thankies so very much again all of you for all the support and interest, and I can’t wait to see what you all can do with this, tee hee~! :3

Weee, I indeedy did get your email, Flyfly~! Laughing out loud Or at least, I think I did? Shocked I got the one where you submitted your secrets to my hotmail address, and then I replied to it, so I hope that went through...? Other than that I haven't gotten anything sadly if you have sent something D:

*Giggles* SHOULD. I hope sooo, stupie stinky emails D: Gosh it sounds like we're trying to breed some kind of special animal though, where we have to match up their genetics to get them to work. Oh my gosh... MAYBE THATS THE KEY Shocked

Dun dun daaaaa~~~~ ♥

PS. Eeep sorry for the late reply btw, I didn't see that you'd commented til just now! Sticking out tongue
Flyra's picture

Oh noes, now that email

Oh noes, now that email seemed to have vanished again. EMAIL DAMNIT. D:
Yeah, the one I'm talking about is the second email I sent to you, alas the reply to your reply or somethin'.

Okay then, off to breed some animal species using parents with the same genetics. :3 Now if they refuse to get together, there must be seriously something wrong with the evolution. Cool

By the way, maybe your spam filter is catching my emails, I'm having that problem sometimes. Have you checked the spam file? oò

Regarding your PS - don't worry, 'is completely fine. :3

Trickster's picture

Aaah gaaawds, I'm glad I'm

Aaah gaaawds, I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way~! Sticking out tongue I feel like such a whinger for saying this but like, I went ahead with going to the trouble to set up TEF Secrets because yanno, as well as wanting to make it, so many people wanted me to in my post asking for those interested, but now that the actual project is in action, I don't think even a quarter of the supporters of it have actually gotten involved in any manner. I absolutely adore all those who have gotten into it though and it's made it so much fun and wonderful to do because of them, but it's such a struggle to keep it going lately, and it seems such a shame that TEF Secrets had to fall into such a slump after it looked set for such success Sad

Buuut yanno, hopefully things pick up soon~! ♥ :3 Maybe I should make that post with the title 'ABIOGENESIS BY THE POND RIGHT NOW :D' and then put in the post 'maypril fools, click here to submit awesome secrets :D', though no doubt I'd have the flamethrowers aimed in my direction *giggles* Buuut yes. Oh wellps, I spose this is the way sadly some things go, and I won't give up on TEF Secrets, even if it does take a long while to accumulate secrets at times. It's worth keeping it going for all those who adore it as much as I do, tee hee~! :3

At any rate, thankyou so much for your support PLK, you've been amazing ♥ You too as always, Lottieness. People like you guize remind me that there is always awesomeness waiting for me and all of us who seek it here in the TEF Community in the form of people like you ♥

Aaand back I go to icky university class Sticking out tongue
