Hello there fellow Fanpoppers. Most of 你 know me as the person who makes the 粉丝 Of The Fortnight 问题 and from time to time, Fanpoppers will ask me 问题 about in either 评论 或者 messages. This 常见问题 is here to try and answer all of those questions. If 你 have any 问题 to add please do so at the bottom and they shall be incorporated in to the article.
1. Who started 粉丝 Of The Fortnight?
link created a Pick called link back in May 2007 in the 潮流粉丝俱乐部 spot. link then made the first ever link. Then after a small discussion with benji and cressida I decided to do the 下一个 link with the initial idea that a different 粉丝 would do it each week. After that I decided to do another one when that one finished, and as cressida and benji didn't seem to mind, I just carried on and still do it to today.
2. Who decides on the people on 粉丝 Of The Fortnight?
It's up to me to put the first eight 粉丝 on, though 粉丝 may nominate one other 粉丝 themselves.
2a. How is that decided?
I take note of good contributions, 评论 and good new 粉丝 to the site and when the 前一个 粉丝 Of The Fortnight ends, I already have a few names in my head. I make sure I branch out from just my own spots, as for example, I am not a 粉丝 of The Office, but I'll check it every week to see highly rated contributions 或者 good discussions. I also check Pending Spots almost daily to see if there's a 粉丝 that's managed to make a spot look brilliant and crammed with content already.
3. Can people add themselves to 粉丝 Of The Fortnight?
The short answer is Yes. The long answer is Yes, but in 2007 粉丝 were not allowed to vote for themselves. Though this rule is not enforced in the current 粉丝 Of The Fortnight, the hope was that it's drilled in to 粉丝 enough not to do it, that it ceases anyways.
4. How do I get on to 粉丝 Of The Fortnight?
Simply be an excellent fan. Regularly 提交 content, 加入 as many spots as 你 can and participate in the 潮流粉丝俱乐部 community. That way 你 also become a member that other 粉丝 recognise a good user as well. If you're not on there and 你 have been trying hard, keep up the standard and eventually 你 shall be noticed and be put up.
5. Does the winner of 粉丝 Of The Fortnight get anything?
They get recognition 更多 than anything, the pride that comes with other 粉丝 having realised you're one of the great people on Fanpop.
6. How can I tell who has won 粉丝 Of The Fortnight without looking at the indiviual Picks?
link has stepped up to the plate with link which he keeps regularly updated, so 支持 him for it!
7. When do new 粉丝 Of The Fortnights start?
Usually a 日 或者 two after the old one ends, though larger gaps have been known to occur between them.
8. Which spot does 粉丝 Of The Fortnight get 发布 in?
Initially it was 发布 in the 潮流粉丝俱乐部 spot, but soon after the 潮流粉丝俱乐部 Users spot was created and harold made a 评论 about moving it here, the 下一个 粉丝 Of The Fortnight was created here.
9. Are there any other 粉丝 Of The Fortnight-esque events?
link happens every 年 and compiles all of the winners of 粉丝 Of The Fortnight. There is also an event called link which attempts to compile all the runners-up. Unfortunately in 2007, due to a Pick choice limit, Popper Of The 年 could not fit everyone on. From 2008 onwards, it has been possible to accomadate all 粉丝 featured.
10. Has anyone ever won twice?
Yes. As of April 2008, link won the 24 October - 7 November 2007 粉丝 Of The Fortnight and the 16 August - 30 August 2007 one.
11. How do I abbreviate 粉丝 Of The Fortnight?
That's really up to you. 粉丝 recognise FOF and FOTF. I use FOTF if I do want to shorten it.
12. Can 粉丝 be on FOTF twice?
粉丝 can be added 由 others as many times as they wish, but the original eight that are put up 由 me are not repeated. In the case that a user nominated 粉丝 wins, this 粉丝 is also excluded from future 粉丝 Of The Fortnights. This resets at the start of every year.
13. I think someone's been cheating. What do I do?
First of all, 你 should pass a message along to me about it. Include as many details as possible. Cheating in 粉丝 Of The Fortnight usually consists of people creating many accounts and then voting for themselves. There have been other variations, but that's the main one. I shall look in to it and then get back to you.
14. <User> is really awesome, but they've not been on 粉丝 Of The Fortnight. Can I nominate them?
Certainly. If 你 wish them to be on the following FOTF rather the current one, message me with the details and they'll go in to the initial eight.
