When requesting a graphic, be sure to keep some things in mind....
First off, do not expect your request to be filled right away. Sometimes it takes awhile for someone to make a graphic and sometimes people are busy in real-life. You may "bump" your request thread only every 24 hours. Bumping is simply posting a small message such as "Bump" to move your request to the top of the list.
Secondly, don't expect a person who's got a lot of requests on their list to have your graphic done the day after you request it. It takes time to produce a satisfactory graphic. Once again, you may "bump" your request, but do not badger the designer, especially if you chose someone who already has a lot of requests. Do not PM them asking where your graphic is or say rude things such as "hello? Why isn't anyone doing this for me?" when bumping your thread. It's their choice to do it in the first place, and being rude/impatient about it will only agitate the designer and they won't do it all together.
Thirdly, In my case(and probably other designer's, hence why I'm making it known), I usually only fill requests if I find them interesting, so be sure to make your request descriptive and specific, so the designer can simply find the photos you want and use them. There's nothing I hate worse than having to scour the internet for photos because someone hasn't given me any clue as to what to use other than "black hair" or something.
So when you request from me (McGani), don't expect me to always fill it. Sometimes I'll fill your request, sometimes I forget, sometimes I won't fill your request for lack of interest in it. Sometimes, I'll find your character so interesting I'll constantly make you banners and send them to you. It all depends on my preference--I can't make a good banner if my heart isn't in it. All signatures larger than 500x300 or avatars larger than 118x250 will be deleted! We don't want graphics stretching the board.

Celebrity Claim « Thread Started on Feb 17, 2009, 3:43pm »
If you have a celebrity in mind to represent your character, please post it here. You may not use a Celebrity that is already on this front page or that is in the movies, sorry (only exception being Helena Bonham Carter because I made her BEFORE she was cast). Any graphics requested under an already-used celebrity will be ignored.
Exceptions: inactive members will no longer hold claim to their celeb. Also, if a celebrity looks different at two different stages in their life (such as change in hair color), then two people may work that out. But it is first come, first serve; if you'd like to make an agreement, you must ask the person who claimed the celebrity first.
Reference---Near-inactive
If you are inactive, I will delete you from this list. If you come back to PA, you must re-submit your celebrity claim!!
