Smogon is home to a wealth of very talented people, and this thread aims to celebrate that creativity. Whether you run a YouTube channel, stream on Twitch, produce music on SoundCloud, run an art blog on Instagram, host a podcast, or anything else, feel free to plug yourself and highlight some of your proudest work here.
What should you consider including?
- A link to what you're promoting (YouTube channel, SoundCloud link, blog, etc.)
- A brief outline of who you are and what you do
- Music genres
- Video topics/genres
- Games you play
- Podcast name/subject
- etc.
- A few tasters of your work (1–2 video links, 2–3 song links, 3–4 pictures, etc.)
- Use hide tags!!!
- Don't post your whole library or discography if you have more than a few entries
- Don't over-format your post; there's nothing wrong with a bit of visual flair, but if there's too much going on in your post it will be more off-putting than anything.
- Anything by new users: Your Smogon account must be half a year old in order to post in this thread.
- Personal accounts: Posting Twitter/Instagram/etc. accounts are fine if you use them as a vehicle for creative work, but if you just use your account to post memes, shower thoughts, opinions, etc., this isn't the place for it.
- If you really need links to your personal accounts on Smogon (not recommended unless it's something like MyAnimeList/Letterboxd), use your signature or profile instead.
- Regular updates: Don't make a post every time you release a new video, go live on Twitch, release a new song, etc. If you decide you want to promote a different video/song/etc. to what you originally plugged, edit your original post.
- You can post about a different subject at a later date, but this thread is here to highlight talent site-wide: not for a few people to spam.
- Use common sense or we'll use it for you: If you repeatedly fail to follow these simple rules, we reserve the right to restrict your posting permissions in this thread.
