Your Space
Okay! So in this forum, you'll be posting one thread for yourself, if you are interested in adopting. This is your space. You want people to see you. So, how do you go about that? I'll give you a few ideas, but ultimately it's up to you!
Tell 'em how it is!
When people want to be adopted, most (emphasis on most) Gaians will be interested in who you are. They want to know if you have anything in common with them, if you're that shade of quirky they've never seen before, so on and so forth. They want to know who is adopting them, so best thing to have is a good, solid description of who you are!
"I like stuff" isn't enough to go off of. People often are left asking "Like what?". So when you put something down, look at it and ask yourself "Like What?". If it's pretty self explanatory, you're good, but if it leaves you with hundreds of answers, better rethink it.
While people want to know who you are, there are a few rules as to what you can and cannot put down.
You may not put in your real name, first or last.
You may not put in your home, work or mailing address.
You may not put in your phone number.
You may not put in your email (this is more to avoid account hacking then anything).
You may put in your nickname.
You may put in your country.
You may put in other forms of contact such as your name on other games (Neopets, World of Warcraft, ect.)
These are just to keep everyone safe. If you've got anything else you think may not be allowed, but you aren't sure, feel free to ask.
Strut your stuff!
Decorate! Don't be afraid to take that pixel paint and splash it all around your posts! Be creative, be expressive, be yourself! Feel free to snag more than one post for explanation and show-offness! Of course, you are not required to do this, but it certainly couldn't hurt, right?
Get in on the know-how!
Ask questions! Make a list of questions you'd like to know from potential adoptees and have them answer it! It's always good for both parties to know each other, and if they don't have their own post on the Adoptions thread, then it's good to get some info now.
Finally, don't get discouraged!
It may take a little while for someone to want you to adopt them. All things take time. But don't let that upset you or get you down! Just because you don't have a post within a day or two, don't go and delete your thread or anything!
Remember, these are just simple suggestions. You can put as much or as little as you want into your posts. <3
