About

Do believe in faeries or elves? Do you wish you were one? Do you believe you could be mistaken for one? Answer yes to these questions and this community is for you.

Basically, this community is a spin-off of

nonuglies, except we aren't nearly as negative or offensive. We have the same idea. You post your pictures and the members of this community will vote yes or no as to whether you could be mistaken for someone of the fae variety (anything supernatural/ethereal and NOT human). If you're accepted, you get some additional priveleges, such as posting more pictures of yourself! Don't be shy! We don't bite... much.

Also, since this has been brought up in the past, we are not voting as to whether or not we think you are fae at heart. All we're doing is voting to see if you *look* fae. Nobody can tell you what you are or aren't, so we won't try. Don't get offended if you feel you are fae at heart but people don't think you look fae.

Read all the rules before posting:

New Members:

1. Elves and faeries are our game, I can't rhyme so this is lame. You have to join to post, otherwise it won't work.

2. For pictures, if you don't have a website that allows remote posting, then photobucket.com is a fairly reliable host and is free.

3. Your picture must be big enough for us to see, LJ icons won't cut it.

4. They have to be clear, no excessive photoshopping to hide yourself behind. They have to be of YOU. And we have to see your face.

5. In the subject line of your post, please put "Am I fae?"

6. If you post more than one picture, or a very large single photo USE AN LJ-CUT. Instructions are here: http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=75

6. You're allowed to dress up and wear as much makeup as you want if you think it makes you look more fae... if you look like crap with no makeup you may want to reconsider posting any of those pictures. ;) Although if you have on a ton of makeup that's quite, uh... theatrical looking, people are bound to ask for pics with less or no makeup.

7. Please, if you were stamped as rejected, don't post more pictures. The only exceptions are if one of the moderators asks you to, or if you've somewhat significantly changed your appearance (haircut? liposuction? facial reconstructive surgery? E-mail one of use to find out what's appropriate).

8. You're allowed to comment in this community even if you get rejected, AND you're allowed to vote. That's what makes us different from most communities of this nature!

9. You get 3 days to garner votes. Final decision is up to the moderators.

10. Only post pictures in ONE post. If you add more pictures, make another post with a LINK to the previous one. It will NOT extend your voting period though (unless the pictures are actually good enough to sway everyone's vote... this'll be a case by case scenario).

Voting:

1. Yes or no. If you're undecided, tell them why and what they can do to sway your vote.

2. Be nice dammit. No in group fighting will be tolerated. Fighting with the owner or mod, will, of course, resort to banishment.

4. You can change your vote if you change your mind, but do it within the 3 day time limit.

Stampage:

1. Post your pictures and wait 3 days. It'll give members enough time to vote without keeping you in too much suspense, and once that time is up, you'll get stamped yes or no.

2. You need a 2:3 ratio of no's to yes's, as in, if over a third of your votes are no, then you won't be stamped yes.

Members:

1. You need to vote! Remaining quiet won't get you kicked out, but why not participate? Offer your elven insight!

2. Post more pictures of yourselves! You were stamped because you may seem from out of this world, and we love to look at you... don't torture us by keeping you from our eyes. :)

3. Please, we have many very gifted and creative fae, and while we appreciate your enthusiasm, we cannot permit unapproved community images to be handed out (ie. graphics made for the community with the community name used as buttons, banners, icons, stamps, etc.). If you feel we have neglected an area of graphic display, please ask us first. If you make one for yourself that goes with the design of your journal, page, etc., please email vannesa_felis@hotmail.com and ask for approval. You'll probably get it, and it only takes a second.

6. If for some reason you think this place is superficial and upsetting, fine, leave. Don't bother with posting a farewell note telling us how bad we are, we don't care and won't agree. Bye!

7. DON'T POST QUIZZES. They annoy me. And an annoyed me isn't good. Don't post community promos either. AND NO SELLING. ONLY ON-TOPIC POSTS.

8. Artistic nudity is fine as long as it is behind a cut and a warning is given.

SPECIALTY STAMPS:

1. When you're approved, you have the opportunity to post more pictures asking for a specialty stamp. The way this works is the other members will tell you what kinda of fae you look like. The categories are: fairy, pixie, water spirit, high elf, sylvan elf, dark fae/elf, or froudian fae (click here for an explanation of each).

2. You'll get stamped once there's enough votes to decide which people agree on. Which should only be a couple of days.
