Reminder! FOURTH WALL IS
THIS WEEKEND!! If you haven't seen this already, go ahead and check it out.
ALSO! IMPORTANTE! We have a question to ask! We've been doing some thinking in terms of new canons and spoilers, and because we're not sure of who's following what and who's avoiding spoilers,
we'd like to propose a Spoiler Policy in terms of characters who are capable of being apped.
What we suggest is waiting
six weeks after a canon is released, whether it be anime episode or manga chapter, book, movie, or the like, before one can app the character
from that canon point. For video games, this would mean the North American release, seeing as a large proportion of the game is in North America. For anime and manga, it would be the day
subbed episodes or translated chapters are released.
In terms of series that are continuing or ongoing, this would mean six weeks after the chosen canon point for the 'timeline' portion of the application. Going by the no-spoiler rule, you would only be allowed to use what is released in canon
prior to the six weeks in your application - if there is not enough to go off of at that point, the character would not yet be appable.
For example: If you wanted to pick a character from a weekly show, and the show was on a weekly release and at week 8 and episode 8, you would be able to apply from episode 2. If there is not enough canon evidence of your character's full personality in episodes 1 and 2, you will have to wait until the series is further along, or until six weeks after a point you choose. For video games, it would be anywhere along in the canon. This would not account for remakes, only the original canon (i.e. applying from Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories would be alright the six weeks after the release of RE:Chain of Memories), unless the remake has very significant changes. This would also make it all right to apply for for character from manga canons during the release of an anime, unless there are significant differences and one is going by the canon of the anime. This would also apply to canon updates. One would have to wait six weeks after the release before being allowed to canon update to that point.
Does this sound like a fair policy?
EDIT: Thanks for your input guys, we miiiight have gotten overzealous in our enthusiasm. We hear you, and we're shelving this one!
