long overdue pinned introduction post my guys - actually, i just had a few things on my mind that i wanted to clarify once and for all instead of mentioning them in every single post all over and over again! also, i love to yap. so here is a lot, like, a lot of yapping.
who am i?
My name is Mika (though most people on wox call me Zeke due to my main WoO DE character Izekiel - that name stuck :'))! I go by she/her, live in Germany and I have been on WoX for a bit longer than two years now - I've just started coding a few months ago after learning the basics by editing templates. I'm mainly active on WoO sites, namely DE and EU. go check those sites out, they are amazing and have lovely communities! Besides WoX I am interested in everything Dungeons and Dragons, fashion and art. I'm also a university student, which means I have a lot of time on my hands (outside of exam season 😔✋) which i usually spend writing and coding!
if you have any questions regarding codes or just want to yap, you can always DM me on tumblr. I also have discord: _empyrean - feel free to text me if you need help with something!
biblically accurate me every time i code trust
Terms of Use:
My codes are free to use for everybody - I'm currently not planning on changing anything about that as long as everybody follows the few rules I have:
- keep the credits. like. keep them, don't change anything, don't make addition to them. you are free to change the font and colour to match the aesthetic of your version of the code, however, leave them at least as visible as they originally were and don't change anything about their position. if u accidentally remove or break the credits and can't fix them by yourself, feel free to text me, i'll help u put them back.
- you are allowed to edit and evolve my codes, slightly, heavily, i don't care, just leave my credits and don't pass them off as your own codes.
- if you find a code of mine on the CodePen of another WoX user, don't just copy their version of the code. instead, click on the credits, go to my codepen, copy the template version. even just editing a code takes time, don't copy off of others! happened one to many times by now and i do not like that, originality and creativity is important to me - and we are all part of a creative writing community, aren't we?
- same goes for codes of mine that i've made for specific characters of mine: The code does not come with the OC. You are NOT allowed to use and/or translate what I wrote about my character, don't keep the name, faceclaim and everything about my character, change a few things and create that character on another wox site. As you can see: I will figure it out at some point and I do not like that. I'm usually pretty chill, but if something like that happens again, I have no issue with banning specific people from using my codes or taking all of my stuff down altogether.
lil coding faq:
Just stuff that i usually mention in my posts about my codes that I'm slowly but surely getting sick of repeating every time (I'm lazy </3).
Editing:
I use Pinterest for the images in my template posts. all images belong to their rightful owners.
the transparent backgrounds for my decorative pngs are achieved by using a background remover - this is the website i'm using: Remove Background from Image for Free – remove.bg. just throw your image into the background remover and reupload the new version on an image hosting website!
the spotify players embedded into my codes are made with, you guessed it, spotify. quick tutorial on how to add spotify songs: go to the spotify website, pick out your song, click on share and "embed song". pick "compact" for the size and then copy! afterwards, just delete the song that i embedded beforehand (make sure to delete everything from<iframe> to </iframe>) and paste your song in!
i use CDNFonts: Free Desktop & WebFonts [BETA] for my fonts.
common problems:
The code broke during uploading: if your code looks different after you upload it on site, you can always text me. However, I recommend reuploading it WITHOUT leaving the source tab first. Just paste the code in and save straightaway without looking at it in the preview tab. Checking it first tends to break the code, WoX is weird about that. if it's still broken after that, hit me up, i'll take a look at it!
The wallpost has some weird spacing once uploaded on site: Wallposts on WoX don't differentiate between <br> and actual breaks in your text - every other type of wox code does. Make sure that your wallpost is ONE line of code or else every break in the code is a break in the wallpost, leading to weird spacing.
My wallpost looks weird in CodePen: Yeah they just do that. my preview vid for wallposts is ALWAYS the version of them posted on site but they might look a bit weird in codePen. If you are unsure about how your code actually looks, just post it on WoX rq, look at it and delete it right after. i promise, no one will see it if you do it fast enough.
Requests:
you can always request codes! if you have any ideas or wishes, hit me up, i love getting inspiration from people! same goes for requests for matching backstories to pts and vice versa, just tell me if you are in need of something. i might have some questions when it comes to your vision but i'm totally open to getting some inspo from you guys!
When it comes to commissions - I'm a beginner, so I'd feel like I'm ripping you off if I'd actually take money from you for my codes. So yeah, no commission form. If you actually want me to make you a code just for yourself and based on your own wishes, you can text me and we can talk about it, but I'm just a beginner, please don't forget that!
CodePen:
I have a CodePen with codes not uploaded on tumblr on them. All codes that are uploaded are free to use - the ones not uploaded on tumblr just might not be perfect since they're my first codes ever. Part of the journey. But like- a bad part of the journey lol. I'm currently working on fixing those codes and uploading them - if you want to use one of them, feel free to tell me which one so I can prioritize it while reworking those codes!
If you see a code with woo.de (or something similar in the title), you can use that code, idc, but I probably won't upload them on tumblr and they might be fully in german. i'm not fixing/reworking those codes since they were made for specific things on wox like specific books or clubs and articles for my hoh job.
that is it! if you have any other questions, feel free to ask away - and thank you all for being so nice and welcoming, i've only been in this community for a short time and people have been so so sweet - kisses kisses mwah mwah mwah! <3
beginner ✦ yes i suck at math and i'm afraid of my own codes what about it ✦ tumblr: e-m-p-y-r-e-a-n
