Anonymous sent: what exactly is an animated playby?

it’s basically just using characters from tv shows and movies that are animated as well. mostly anime characters, but some others would work too, like studio ghibli films, mulan would be alright, etc. like i said, there’ll be a list on the site for anyone who isn’t very familiar with animated pbs. (: honestly, i’m not very familiar with animes either, so i’m mostly in the same boat.

anyway, don’t worry! it worked this way on an old avatar site i used to run (into the inferno, if any of you knew it), and it worked totally well. so if you’re new to it, i promise it’ll be fine. <3

for all of you who are worried about not being able to find an animated playby, i’m compiling a huge list of them, complete with pictures, that will be on the site. that way you’ll have plenty to choose from. <3

Anonymous sent: i kind of like the idea of animated playbys, actually. it's something different and you're right... it's almost impossible to portray them correctly. :/

glad you like it!

Anonymous sent: the fact you won't allow playbys really turns me off from this site :( i was really looking forward to it

i’m sorry you feel that way! i knew when i started this that some wouldn’t care for not having actual playbys, but i think it’s really difficult to have playbys for the characters in these shows, especially playbys that fit them ethnically. i hope you reconsider, though! i personally feel it’s basically the same whether the playbys are real people or animated, at least where the writing is concerned. c:

Anonymous sent: any idea when you're opening? i've been waiting for something like this!

helloooo followers!

first of all, i’m super excited that you’re here and interested in lftv. right now we’re still very early in the production process, so unfortunately i don’t have much to show you guys, but don’t worry, all in due time!

let me clarify that we will not be a personification site, nor will we be using actual playbys here. therefore, all the characters will be animated. don’t let that intimidate you, though! it’s really not all that different from regular playbys, and there will be plenty of assistance for those of you who aren’t used to that.

anyway, i’m hard at work setting up the board and such, and soon there’ll be a few previews popping up, though not everything will be up here on the tumblr. we won’t be doing reservations, either - this is mainly to spread the word. and if you have any questions or input, feel free to drop by the ask box.

flameo, hotmen! <3
