Q What is a fanlisting?
Q If my fanlisting is listed here, is it "official"?
Q Am I allowed to use a program to help me, like Megabook or phpFanBase?
Q Can you host my fanlisting?
Q Why is it mandatory to list countries?
A The intent of a fanlisting is to list fans from around the world. Listing the country a fan is from shows just how far-reaching a fanlisting subject is. This has been a rule since the beginning of TFL.
Q Do I have to list everyone who joins my fanlisting, even if I hate their website, they use an obviously fake name, or they don't put in my required password for reading the rules?
Q Can I use a script to show my last update date?
Q When do I build the fanlisting?

Did You Know?

Fanlistings should be completed within one month, but you can apply for extensions. The decision to allow an extension is made by the staff member in charge of the category based a multitude of things, the most important being: the popularity of the subject and the reason given for the request. Extensions are only for situations such as sickness, exams, family problems, etc.! We will not give you an extension if you've applied for too many fanlistings at once! Extensions are meant for people who can't finish their site in time due to unexpected events out of their control.
