Q: What tools do you use?
A: I use PSP 7.0 and PS 7.0 for all my graphics and all HTML was coded using notepad. Files were uploaded using AceFTP.
Q: Can I use the images you scanned for your gallery?
A: If it's to make a layout or an icon then I don't mind, but please do not post my images in a gallery without my consent. I took the time to scan these images and would like my gallery to remain original. I'll more than likely will allow you to take some if you ask nicely.
Q: Can I use your layout's graphics?
A: No, please don't. I made the graphics myself during my spare time and do not want other people using them.
Q: Can I use your HTML coding?
A: You're allowed to look at my source to see how something was made but please do not steal my HTML or direct link to any of my files.
Q: Can I use some of your information on my site?
A: For reference only. You cannot just copy/paste my information word for word for your own usage. That's plagiarizing!
Q: Will you be my affiliate?
A: If you'd like to affiliate with Fire Starter, please be sure you meet the following criteria:
Your site does not have to be Dilandau-related, however I'd prefer it to be a Escaflowne character shrine. Pairing sites and general sites are also fine.
No stolen content! I'll turn you down in a second if I find out you've plagiarized from another site.
Your site doesn't have to have an amazing layout but please have interesting content. (i.e. something more than just a basic bio, a small gallery, and tons of links.)
That's all I'm really looking for. If you're interested, please email me with the subject of "Affiliation" as the subject. Be sure to let me know it's for Fire Starter, though. ^_^
Q: Will you link me?
A: It depends. Email me with a link to your Esca site and I'll check it out. If I don't answer, then no.
Q: Can I submit fanworks to you?
A: Of course, submissions are always welcomed and appreciated. Fanfiction can be any rating so long as it's related to Dilandau or the Dragon Slayers. Please make sure to check your spelling and grammar. Submit it to me providing a title, genre of the fic, its rating, and a basic summary in either .doc or .html/htm format. Fanart can be sent to me as a file attachment or as a link to your images. Please send in .jpg format only with the artwork's title and your comments on it.
Q: How can I get in contact with you?
A: Go to my contact page.
Q: Are you going to add a [insert whatever here] section?
A: Over time I'll be adding more sections but right now I'll just update any fanart or fanfic submissions I receive.
