About Us

A fanlisting is a web clique that lists fans of a particular subject. Unlike most web cliques, a person does not need a web site in order to join.

The Anime Fanlistings Network is a directory comprised of anime and manga fanlistings.

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, Final Fantasy VII: Last Order

Regarding Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children movie:
Please apply for all fanlistings related to the animated movie Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children at The Fanlistings Network, in the Games category. Any applications received for this movie at TAFL: Movies/OVAs will be forwarded to TFL: Games.

From TheFanlistings.org: “Fanlistings related to FFVII: Advent Children will be approved in TFL: Games first, then automatically cross-listed to the TFL: Animation category. Please also keep in mind the TFL: Games rules that there will only be one fanlisting per character/relationship. As such, you cannot apply for characters/relationships from FFVII: Advent Children who originate from the Final Fantasy VII video game if there are already fanlistings for those characters/relationships in the database. For example, you would not be able to apply for Cloud Strife from the animation since there is already a fanlisting for him.”

Regarding Final Fantasy: Last Order anime OVA:
The Final Fantasy: Last Order anime OVA may be applied for in the TAFL Movies/OVAs category. Related fanlistings, such as characters and relationships, will be crosslisted from TFL: Games to appropriate categories at TAFL, in order to comply with TFL: Games rules. (See above for details.)

ATTN: All FL Applicants

A quick reminder to all of you applying for items, especially considering the vast Characters/Items removal today: YOU MAY ONLY APPLY FOR SIX SUBJECTS AT ONCE. This has always been a rule for these categories, on both networks, and it has NOT changed. The applications staffers have every right to disregard all apps received after the sixth, and since some of you have sent in two or three times that amount, I would strongly recommend AGAINST sending in more. ^^;;

Edit: For those of you that have sent in more than six, this one time we will allow you to send in a contact form to the appropriate category and specify which apps to keep (only six!) and which to discard. Since the apply page had an incorrect number listed on that rule (12), and this was an error on our part, not yours, we feel this is a decent compromise. Again, if you have sent in more than six applications, and you wish to select which ones to keep, please contact the appropriate category with your name, email, and which applications you wish to keep. Thanks for your attention, and cooperation.

New Site Policies/Rules

Filed under Site Policies & Rules

This post is to inform you of new site policies that differ, or are altered, from TheFanlistings.org, and which will now be enforced on this network.

Linking to The Anime Fanlistings Network:
First, as should be fairly obvious, all sites listed at The Anime Fanlistings Network are required to have a link to http://www.animefanlistings.org/ . It is not required to have a link to TheFanlistings.org, but we encourage you to link to both sites, as we are partner networks. It was a great honor for TFL to give us our own network, and I’d like to give them all the support we can! 😀 Again, a link to TAFL is required, a link to TFL is not, but is encouraged.

Auto-Add/Guestbook Scripts NO LONGER ALLOWED:
As stated on the TAFL rules page, “it is up to you whether you update your list manually, or use a specific program that allows people to join and you approve from an admin panel (like phpFanBase or Enthusiast). However, forms and scripts that add people as soon as they submit their information are no longer allowed. This includes Megabook and other guestbook programs. Subjects using these types of scripts will be required to switch to one of the above approved methods, or will be removed from the network. This form of auto-add script has been abused, and many a good subject been neglected by lack of effort on the part of the owner, forcing us to enforce this rule strictly.”

As we are now over the initial transition period and the network is running smoothly, staffers will soon be enforcing this rule. If you use this type of script, your site will be placed on troubles and you will need to switch to another method. As stated above, this is due to continual abuse and neglect by some owners using guestbook scripts. We hope that through this rule, fanlistings will be better taken care of. Thanks for your cooperation in this matter!
