General announcement: If you open a thread where you're posting photos or graphic art to this board, please put a warning (something like "PHOTOS" or "warning: images posted") in the title, to alert folks.

Some readers love to speculate on who looks like what, what the buildings are like, how Rini's hair is cut, etc.  But some readers don't want their personal view of ITL corrupted, for lack of a better term, by other images.

One of the people most vehemently against all ITL images is someone I correspond with regularly, and she's taught me to be more sensitive about it.

You're welcome and encouraged to post as many pictures, either found or made, of the people and world of ITL (and the rest of my fiction) as often as you'd like.  Go for it!  Just please be considerate of others who might be looking for a discussion and accidentally stumble upon images.

Thanks!

Thanks!  It's all good.  I wouldn't think twice about it if she hadn't made me more aware.

I'm sorry, but I had to laugh at that.  It makes it sound as if Jaefire was posting nude pics of Xio Voe.  And hey - if she's got'em, I wanna see them!!

A suggestion:

Can we try to post images of how we think characters look like in the Casting ITL thread or a new thread (like the Jacacean family thread) and not in the other old threads? It's seems kinda unfair to the people who don't want to see images. Hitari's and T'rin's threads are already off-limits for them because of the Image-warnings, so it would be nice to be more considerate by keeping images separate from other discussions, no? Also, it would be more organized: if someone wants to see how others view the characters, they can go to specific threads, and not have to look through the more general threads.

Another suggestion:

Maybe we could start a Hair-thread? There has been speculation about Kudorin's hair and pictures have been posted, and now Remin's hair and Vani posted some really cool pictures as well. There have been other hair-pictures posted in the Casting ITL thread. I could change the title of the Kudorin's Hair thread to something more general (like: the Siblings Hair) and we could move all hair there for easy access?

What do you guys think?

I think that sounds good.  Keeping things organized.  So we can discuss T'rin, Hitari, etc., all we want, but have one-stop shopping for speculation on images and appearances.  And a general thread for hair sounds good, too.

I'm down.

It's a good idea.  I don't know how to move posts to another topic but one of the moderators or Matthew can do it, yes?  I didn't realize that putting pics under a link is not enough.  I feel bad for people who doesn't want to go to the Hitari thread because of the warnings.  Sorry about that. 

And I'm looking forward to the hair discussions.   Smiley

Okay! I'll go ahead and change the Kudorin's Hair thread to a general hair thread and move my hair-pictures there.

Does that mean I should move my Remin hair post to the hair thread?  Or should I just repost it?

Diamond's moved posts from the T'rin, Hitari, and Jacacean threads over to the Casting ITL thread.  Also deleted posts like the ones in the Remin thread that had been moved to the hair thread.

From now on, let's post images in the casting or hair threads (or the thread on what Jacacea looks like).  So if we want to look over possibilities of what folks look like, we can enjoy one-stop shopping.

If you see any stray images we missed, please let us know.

Thanks!
