[Q/S] Colourists likes/dislikes?

[LOLTERNATIVE]

There is really no good reason this list can't be done and be useful. Yes, people may design soquili for certain colourists, but in the end they're still getting a soquili. Whether it's a design they like or a design they don't like and just designed it for a specific colourist, they're still getting what they want. A soquili. Otherwise, why would they enter?

Who cares what there motives are, whether it's to horde as many soq as possible or only have a few soq that are dear to them. It's theirs - they can use it for whatever they please. Just because the idea of soq hording doesn't appeal to the majority doesn't mean it's a bad thing. If the soq is yours and you got it fair and square then it shouldn't matter what you do with it. This shop has no requirements for keeping your soq, thus hording isn't a rule problem, it's a personal problem shared among a few and shouldn't affect an idea as simple as this.

There are a lot of CC events in this shop, which is amazing. And it'd be nice to know what colourists like/dislike to give everyone a fair chance at winning. Some people know colourists IRL or know them very well and know what they like/dislike. It'll be nice if everyone has this chance.

I, for one, don't spend every second of my day in soquili studying ponies colourists have coloured/CC'd. Newbies probably won't, either.

This isn't something I'm asking to be implemented and forced upon colourists. If they don't want to do it, that's fine. But some might and it'll be helpful. :3

No one said anything about stalking staff lol! You guys dont need to be so defensive. Im just sayin there are other ways other than making them list *shrug* Im neither for or against this, just trying to give another pov and options other than OMG YES THIS IS AMAZING DO IT NOW YOURE SOOOO RIGHT AND AWESOME FOR THINKING OF THIS!

@LOL: That's basically my mind right there. xDDDD

I definitely don't think this would hurt and as others have already said, some may find it helpful. I have noticed a few colorists doing similar things in the past, hints and such for when they open CC slots. I think if someone is willing to volunteer their time and effort and the colorists are willing, it might be a fun little resource. I know I would take a look at it for curiosities sake if nothing else. Also since custom slots are so hard to obtain and I always have a few quest ideas floating around up there -taps head- I could switch which quests I enter depending on the colorists. That way the colorist wins because they have more people entering ideas that they would actually enjoy working on and I would win because there may be a higher chance to get CC'd.

-shrugs- I hope that makes sense. I don't think it should be a required thing for the colorists to do, not that I'm saying thats what you mean Lolly, but just as a side note while I have the thought. Maybe the colorists could just add a more extensive list of things they prefer to do, and not do, in their custom threads?

I agree in a lot of ways to this. Just because someone likes or dislikes something that doesn't mean they won't do it. In fact it might be something they don't have an interest it, but may do it to challenge themselves or you know do what their customer wants. While there are a lot of hoarders out their, I think it's unfair to the dedicated who actually use their soquili for something other then sig candy to not know this information but the hoarders who don't do anything with their soquili to happen to be friends with the colorists or know their likes and dislikes some other way.

Also, while I like to look at all the new ponies, I'm not going to go around looking for every soquili Bee or Riri or Neph or anyone else has ever done to see what they like or don't like. Although, I do agree that one could do that if they wanted to waste that much more of their life in gaia. Lol. But they shouldn't have to.

Although, I do know Riri likes stripes (or hates them and does them all the time. xD). She also seems to like futuristic stuff (or not?). I also think Riri may do something she doesn't really like or have an interest in just to make her customer happy. :]

i would like to see this list made, yes there is going to be people who make concepts simply to try and get another Soq..but they obviously want another soq enough to bother creating the concept so..let them?

I know I would like it simply because I have quite a few concept in my head tht I would 'someday' like to get either for story lines or just because I really like the idea, it would be nice to know which concept I ought to enter - I'd rather put forth a concept that a colorist is going to enjoy working on then one they hate and just happened to roll.

As someone who has been trying unsucessfuly to get a custom slot for 3 years I would find this list very useful. I have several custom ideas both in my quest thread and many more that need to be written out. Being able to tailor my entry to each colorist using my pre-existing quests would be great.

So far, from reading this, I've at least come up with one opinion: I'd like to live in Mobbu's mind.
