Hello there fellow Fanpoppers. Most of te know me as the person who makes the fan Of The Fortnight domande and from time to time, Fanpoppers will ask me domande about in either commenti o messages. This faq is here to try and answer all of those questions. If te have any domande to add please do so at the bottom and they shall be incorporated in to the article.

1. Who started fan Of The Fortnight?
link created a Pick called link back in May 2007 in the fanpop spot. link then made the first ever link. Then after a small discussion with benji and cressida I decided to do the successivo link with the initial idea that a different fan would do it each week. After that I decided to do another one when that one finished, and as cressida and benji didn't seem to mind, I just carried on and still do it to today.

2. Who decides on the people on fan Of The Fortnight?
It's up to me to put the first eight fan on, though fan may nominate one other fan themselves.

2a. How is that decided?
I take note of good contributions, commenti and good new fan to the site and when the precedente fan Of The Fortnight ends, I already have a few names in my head. I make sure I branch out from just my own spots, as for example, I am not a fan of The Office, but I'll check it every week to see highly rated contributions o good discussions. I also check Pending Spots almost daily to see if there's a fan that's managed to make a spot look brilliant and crammed with content already.

3. Can people add themselves to fan Of The Fortnight?
The short answer is Yes. The long answer is Yes, but in 2007 fan were not allowed to vote for themselves. Though this rule is not enforced in the current fan Of The Fortnight, the hope was that it's drilled in to fan enough not to do it, that it ceases anyways.

4. How do I get on to fan Of The Fortnight?
Simply be an excellent fan. Regularly invia content, unisciti as many spots as te can and participate in the fanpop community.

If you're not on there and te have been trying hard, keep up the standard and eventually te shall be noticed and be put up.

8. Which spot does fan Of The Fortnight get postato in?
Initially it was postato in the fanpop spot, but soon after the fanpop Users spot was created and harold made a commento about moving it here, the successivo fan Of The Fortnight was created here.

9. Are there any other fan Of The Fortnight-esque events?
link happens every anno and compiles all of the winners of fan Of The Fortnight. There is also an event called link which attempts to compile all the runners-up. Unfortunately in 2007, due to a Pick choice limit, Popper Of The anno could not fit everyone on. From 2008 onwards, it has been possible to accomadate all fan featured.

That's really up to you. fan recognise FOF and FOTF. I use FOTF if I do want to shorten it.

12. Can fan be on FOTF twice?
fan can be added da others as many times as they wish, but the original eight that are put up da me are not repeated. In the case that a user nominated fan wins, this fan is also excluded from future fan Of The Fortnights. This resets at the start of every year.

13. I think someone's been cheating. What do I do?
First of all, te should pass a message along to me about it. Include as many details as possible. Cheating in fan Of The Fortnight usually consists of people creating many accounts and then voting for themselves. There have been other variations, but that's the main one. I shall look in to it and then get back to you.

Certainly. If te wish them to be on the following FOTF rather the current one, message me with the details and they'll go in to the initial eight.
