On the same subject, sorta, I've always fancied the idea of making a 'Adoptables 101' journal, but I don't want to come off as, 'THIS IS HOW YOU SHOULD DO ADOPTABLES', just... my own personal opinions on the matter and how I believe things should be done.
Tho I fully realize my word is not, and preferably never will be, the word of god.
But wording it without it sounding like, 'DO THIS OR UR WRONG' seems difficult.
Words, how do 101

I suppose the main key would be to not try to set it up as a "Captain CloneClones guide to surefire adoptable success!" and more just a general "here's some tips and tricks I've seen as I go that have helped some folks out." Kind of like whenever I try to give folks webcomic advice, often times it has to come with a "this mileage may vary and what works for one person may not for others. But these are trends I've seen in the industry that seem more surefire than others." along with some personal preference and recommendations and perhaps a dash of "these are the biggest pitfalls and sand traps folks end up in so try to be aware of them and avoid em."

Also, drawing dicks on things is the best thing ever. In a sense a bit of self deprecating humor when it comes to the adopt market is probably a good thing. But like all things, only in moderation.

YEAH CAUSE I WANT TO SAY, "Yo if you're going to draw a cat and give it a fox tail and call it a closed species, don't do that."
But at the same time I want to be like, "BUT IF YOU WANNA DO IT FUCKIN' DO IT, PROVE ME WRONG, PROVE ME A CAT WITH A FOX TAIL IS THE BOMBEST SHIT EVER AND I HOPE YOU MAKE 100 BUCKS OFF IT."

Have you ever drawn a dick? I need to see if so. I MEAN AN HONEST TO GOD BONER TOO.
