Rules
These are the modified slightly from the official "Freeze Frame" requirements:
- You must have your own domain.
We will not accept any sites on free hosting domains nor any
"image stations" or the like.
- You must create a special site dedicated to the screencaps
We appreciate, beyond the telling, any webmaster that has taken
the time to cap and create galleries on an existing site. However,
our vision is to have individual sites dedicated to each
movie capped. (See Rule #14) In the case of two-part episodes, should you choose to cap all parts, one site is perfectly
acceptable.
NEW as many Fanlistings offer a complete set of screencaps, we will now accept those to be submitted as well. However all other rules still apply.
- You must house the screencaps on your domain
You may not use your domain for the main page and host the
caps on a free server.
- Free servers and Image Station sites will not be accepted
We are trying to provide a reliable directory/service for caps.
Free servers, that could delete pages or disappear, are unstable
and hence not really fulfilling the idea or premise of our
service. Domains that are paid for are simply more reliable and
this is about fulfillment.
- All caps must be thumbnailed.
It would also be great if each one opened in it's own window.
- You must provide a link back to "Karma".
Especially if you want to be included in this directory.
We want everyone to be able to use our service and find all the
caps they are looking for. Don't link back, and the episode
will be given away.
- Caps must be at least 450x300 in size.
We are looking for fairly large caps. Caps the size of
postage stamps are abundant on the web. Although any caps
are good caps, we are trying to provide high quality caps for arts
and layouts.
- Caps should be of decent quality.
Much like small caps, grainy caps are everywhere. Obviously
episodes available on DVDs are going to be of higher quality than
those that are not. That will most definitely be taken into
consideration when you apply to donate.
- A minimum of 200 caps is required.
More than that is very much acceptable.
- Create a pleasing layout.
It would be fantastic if you made an uber fancy layout for your caps
page but a simple gallery, dedicated to the movie, is acceptable as well. We know not
everyone has time for fanciness. The screencaps are our focus.
- Your page must be easy to navigate.
- You must include a disclaimer on your page.
- Screencaps must be made by you.
Please do not take caps from others, or from closed sites, and
claim them as your own. Myself, and those that have
graciously agreed to help me with this site are very aware of
existing caps. Stealing is wrong.
- Screencaps are to be new and exclusive.
The caps you've made should only be found
through this directory or through your domain. If you made
caps for an episode fanlisting or another fan site let us know and
we'll include it in the links section.
- You must provide a cap example.
If you have yet to be accepted, or donate, I ask that you show me
proof of your capping capabilities. Please upload a cap or two to
your server and provide a URL in the application form. Or, if you
have already capped another episode, please provide the URL to
your past work.
- You have one month to finish capping and upload.
Once you've been accepted you will have one month to complete the
page. If you need more time, please email me to let me know when the page will be finished.
- You must provide an entire episode worth of caps.
The minimum amount of caps is 200. That should allow for
full representation of the complete episode. If you can't provide
caps from the beginning to end of the episode, please let me know.
I may allow for an extension, but a date will be given to you as
to when you need to complete the caps.
- If the episode for which you are applying is NOT AVAILABLE
ON DVD I need a screencap example from the episode itself.
I ask that you provide an actual cap as I need to know that
they will be of high quality. That is all.
