All righty folks! This is to help you guys figure out what the hell to do with these relationship plots! =] I, Rini, am here to help you guys out! I love making these, and I love plotting with people. It’s just fun!
Anyways, here’s a basic overview. These charts basically help you figure out your friends, your enemies, your lovers, and the millions of other relationships. Usually they have a list of relationships ( almost always colored and with lyrics ) and they are usually in order from friends to enemies to lovers to others. Sometimes you can mix them up and stuff, yeah. But anyways!
All right. I’ll give you a simple little key in making these. Here is an example of how the ‘Friends’ relationships would be set up.
Best friends – words that I’m hearing are shouting
close friends – feels like I’m starting all over again
Average friends – and I said goodbye to you goodbye
now, they aren’t usually that simple. A lot of people use what is called a color blender. This is the most common one that’s used. What you would do is pick two colors, preferably very different so you get a good variety of shades, and you choose how many. If you do one of the more complicated ones you see around, you should pick ten. Then, it will give you a list of colors blending from the first color to the last.
Now, if you do this, it is VERY easy to get confused and lost, so make sure you do this carefully, or be classic and just use a few colors and not a lot. They don’t have to be as complex as others, just so that it’s enough to be able to get the good amount of relationships.
Now, when people post back, they usually take advantage of UBBC and make the codes that people can use to reply to the plots so that they could be a part of it all! Some can be complex looking, some very simple to use. It all depends on what you want. Most of the time they consist of two or three icons, the name of the character in big letters, and some little descriptions, like age and grade, and other things. Then they have a place to list the relationships, then two places where one character can put the history, and then the other person can put their history. It all depends on what you want it to be; this is a completely original thing that you can do to define yourself ( your character ).
Any other questions, don’t hesitate to PM an admin! They’ll be sure to help you out! =]
NOTE: usually there can be a lot of options for relationships! if you want a common list of them, PM Rini! = ]
