tvholics is an interactive livejournal community based on the extremely wide variety of scripted television fandom - your entries can be based upon any television show past or present. You are assigned to a team and compete in challenges - graphics, games, fanfiction and more - for points. At the end of each phase a winner is announced as we start all over again!
HOW DO I JOIN?
If you are interested in joining us here at tvholics, make your way over to the applications post and fill in the form you find there. Please do not join the community. A mod will then sort you into a team. (Slapkiss, Catchphrase or Fourth Wall)
REMEMBER: In order for the community to remain fair to all teams, the numbers must remain as close to even as possible. If you are not sorted to your first choice team, please know that all the teams are are only names - the community is what you make it! :)
Also, since there are a limited number of spots on each team, participation is key! If you don't think you'll be able to participate in something please do not apply!
NOW THAT I'VE APPLIED, WHAT HAPPENS?
You'll be sorted into a team, and sent an invite to tvholics, and your team community. It is also suggested that you join our social community, tv_couchpotato. Once you approve these invites, feel free to jump right into participating.
HOW DO I ENTER THE CHALLENGES?
All challenges are posted directly to tvholics. When a challenge is posted, the specifics pertaining to it are posted along with it. To enter the challenge, simply comment to the post with your submission. Comments are usually screened, and the mod will have access to all entries.
WHAT ARE "TAG BANNERS"?
Tag banners are small graphics (300x150px) that display your team name and name/nickname. In tvholics, 1 extra point is awarded to each member that uses a tag banner when submitting their entries. If you do not have a tag banner, feel free to make one for yourself or as a team member to make one for you. Each phase, a tag banner challenge is posted in the early stages of the phase where others can make tag banners for you to use for the remainder of the phase.
WAIT! I STILL HAVE A QUESTION!
If your question is related to a particular challenge, there is always a comment thread labelled "QUESTIONS?" in each challenge where you can ask for any clarification you may need. If you have a general question, feel free to comment here and a mod will get back to you ASAP.
