Faqs

Here are some commonly asked questions that get e-mailed to me so I thought it would be helpful to have a faqs page. If your question is not here please e-mail me with it.



Q: Disclaimer?
Valgarv and Filia Ul Copt are the property of Hajime Kanzaka, Rui Araizumi, and Kadokawa Shoten and are in no way affliated with the webmistress of this site. Fanworks are credited by their owners and none may be used without their consent. Stolen use of graphics and/or content is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated. Destined Dragons is © to Tara-hime 2001-2004. All rights reserved.


Q: Why Filia and Valgarv?
Because Val is a sexy beast... er... dragon! XD
Actually I just saw something between the two and I believe if they were given enough time it would have evolved to something more. If you can't see it then you wouldn't understand, it's just that simple.


Q: How long has Destined Dragons been around?
Destined Dragons was officially opened September 4, 2001.


Q: How long have you been into Slayers?
Since May 1998.


Q: What's up with the name?
I was watching Dungeons and Dragons at the time I came up with the name and I liked the double D thing and realized that Val and Fil were both dragons. So I had to come up with a word that starts with D that relates to them. Hence destined! I know it doesn't make much sense to me either.


Q: Are you anti Fil/Xel?
I cannot stress this enough: just because I would rather see Filia with Valgarv does not mean I hate the Xel/Fil coupledom. Quite the contrary I used to be a huge fan of it but that was just from reading fanfics before I actually watched TRY. Then I just fell in love with Val and thought Filia should be with him. I may be Val/Fil biased now but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy a good Fil/Xel fic and I would never flame the couple so for all the Xel/Fil fans please use the same courtesy.


Q: Are you a Trad or Alt 'shipper?
A: I have pairings I like to ship more than others but that doesn't blind me to the fact that any pairing could be possible.


Q: Who is your webhost of awesomeness?
A: The generous Tasuki and Zee were kind enough to host this site on their domain Mazoku.org, which was created and is run by them.


Q: What tools do you use?
A: I use PSP 7.0 and PS 7.0 for all my graphics and all HTML was coded using notepad. Files were uploaded using AceFTP.


Q: Can I use the images you scanned for your gallery?
A: If it's to make a layout or an icon then I don't mind, but please do not post my images in a gallery without my consent. I took the time to scan these images and would like my gallery to remain original. I'll more than likely will allow you to take some if you ask nicely.


Q: Can I use your layout's graphics?
A: No, please don't. I made the graphics myself during my spare time and do not want other people using them.


Q: Can I use your HTML coding?
A: You're allowed to look at my source to see how something was made but please do not steal my HTML or direct link to any of my files.


Q: Can I use some of your information on my site?
A: For reference only. You cannot just copy/paste my information word for word for your own usage. That's plagiarizing!


Q: Will you be my affiliate?
A: If you'd like to affiliate with Destined Dragons, please be sure you meet the following criteria:

  • Your site does not have to be V/F-related, however I'd prefer it to be a Slayers character shrine. Pairing sites and general sites are also fine.

  • No stolen content! I'll turn you down in a second if I find out you've plagiarized from another site.

  • Your site doesn't have to have an amazing layout but please have interesting content. (i.e. something more than just a basic bio, a small gallery, and tons of links.)


    That's all I'm really looking for. If you're interested, please email me with the subject of "Affiliation" as the subject. Be sure to let me know it's for Destined Dragons, though. ^_^


    Q: Will you link me?
    A: It depends. Email me with a link to your Slayers site and I'll check it out. If I don't answer, then no.


    Q: Can I submit fanworks to you?
    A: Of course, submissions are always welcomed and appreciated. Fanfiction can be any rating so long as it's related to Valgarv and Filia. Please make sure to check your spelling and grammar. Submit it to me providing a title, genre of the fic, its rating, and a basic summary in either .doc or .html/htm format. Fanart can be sent to me as a file attachment or as a link to your images. Please send in .jpg format only with the artwork's title and your comments on it.


    Q: Can I send hentai?
    A: Yes, but there are a few guidelines: 1.) I'll accept fanfiction as long as the lemons are not overly smutty and 2.) I'll accept nudity in fanart so long as it is tasteful and artistic.


    Q: How can I get in contact with you?
    A: Go to my contact page.


    Q: Are you going to add a [insert whatever here] section?
    A: Over time I'll be adding more sections but right now I'll just update any fanart or fanfic submissions I receive.
