Welcome to the Faceclaim Directory Project! The FCD project has been a massive project undertaken by myself in an attempt to create one large database of all varieties of faceclaims for writers of all kinds to use. This project has been in the works for well over a year and a half now, and it’s finally ready to be available to the world! This is something that is an eternal WIP. What I have available is the culmination of over 7000 faceclaims, and there is so much more I hope to add in the future. I have put countless hours into this project. I’m well aware it’s not perfect, and due to the sheer size alone I have no doubt there are errors that I was unable to catch. Please feel free to submit any and all errors you find! You can click anywhere in this sentence to be directed to my FAQ page in order to answer questions I anticipated people asking. Due to tumblr’s size limit on html documents, I’ve had to split up the directory into six different pages.

As for other updates: I'm going to be working on modifying the directory as it is. This will include some changes like adding a FC's career, updating with new information, continuing to fix errors, and hopefully updating especially outdated pictures. I also will be trimming some FCs because of some updated rules. I have done my best to be objective about including FCs that I may not be comfortable with, but as time goes on I realize there are certain people I'm not comfortable with including. I'm sorry there won't be an objective rule, and I will still do my best to make judgements to accommodate the RPC as a whole. Most importantly, after using lensdump for a couple of years to host my gifs, I feel comfortable using them to host the pictures for the directory! I am hoping this will allow me to consolidate the directory into a maximum of five pages, hopefully four, once again. After I get through these important changes I hope to do another update to add more FCs. I am also still looking for a free way to host the entire directory if anyone has any suggestions.

Finally, thank you to everyone who still uses this as a resource and especially those who have taken the time out of their day to send a kind message. I am, in fact, an active RPer and I love love love seeing people who recommend my directory in the 'wild'. Thank you all for being awesome.

The first major update to the Faceclaim Directory Project is now live! There are now over 7000 entries in the directory! Due to the expanding size of the html documents, unfortunately I've had to split the directory into six pages instead of four. Knowing that this will only continue as I update everything, I am currently looking into a space where I can host the directory in its entirety for free. So far every avenue has been unable to work, but I remain positive that I'll be able to find something so I can link the entire directory to the main pinned post! As always, thank you so much to everyone who has sent kind messages and corrections. I always take corrections and try to get things fixed when I can. The next big update will focus on adding being able to filter entries by career (eg. actor, musician, model, etc). The ask box is always open for questions & corrections!

Thank you so much for your kindness! Ethniccelebs is actually one of the resources I rely on the most, but unfortunately (and understandably) they focus on celebrities who are more popular and known to the general public. If the celebrity had an ethniccelebs page when I was searching for their ethnicity, there's about a 99% change that it's the information I used! Most of the face claims that have an entry don't have an ethniccelebs page, unfortunately, and I've had to look elsewhere to try and find information. In general, most entries have the most detailed information I can find. Even ethniccelebs does not always have super detailed information. However, it's been some time since I've done some of the entries, so if anyone sees any entries that can be updated with more accurate information, please let me know! I'm sure some of the people now have pages that didn't when I was gathering information.

Hi! I’m answering this publicly instead of amending my changes post, thank you for your message because I completely agree! Both cis women and trans women have been included in the ‘women’ category, which is why I didn’t include ‘cis’ :). If someone is trans, I’ve noted such on their personal entry so if people are looking for cis people only they could simply ignore that faceclaim haha. Otherwise I saw no real reason to make a category specifically for cis people. Hopefully this makes sense! Because of this, if anyone sees a trans faceclaim that ISN'T in the broader women/men category PLEASE let me know, they do have two separate tags so it’s possible I accidentally forgot to put both tags on their entry which certainly wasn’t intentional. If anyone sees a trans fc’s entry that hasn’t noted that they are trans, please let me know as well. Again, thank you for your message and I hope you have a lovely day!

I will always do my best to remove any faceclaims that have passed away as fast as I can once I receive the news. While many FCs I will hear about due to making headlines, there are others that I likely will not hear about since I can't keep tabs on everyone. Please never feel you are bothering me if you send me a message to let me know if I need to take someone down to respect them and their families!

I'm so happy everyone is enjoying the directory so far, and a huge thanks to anyone who has sent me messages about corrections!

Instead of answering every individual ask I receive, I thought it would be best to compile recent fixes here so those who have been kind enough to send me a message can check if I have seen it! Thank you so much to those who have sent me messages in order to make sure the directory is as up-to-date and correct as possible, I greatly appreciate it. - Ever
