I'll Fix Your Factbooks!

[Byzantii]

Hello! You probably don't know me, but I am a NS Player and (Not to brag) somewhat experienced writer. I (Again, not to brag.) believe that I'm not doing too shabby of a job making factbooks. Also, I've realized a lot of factbooks are just large walls of uncreative text. So, I offer a simple service-to fix and GloUp your factbooks.

---

To do this, though, I need details. LOTS of detail. The more detailed, the longer it'll take, but the closer it'll be to your dreams. Some details that'll help are:
* Referencing others' factbooks
* Providing links to images you want (Or want as reference to the final images)
* Referencing colors or styles possible (Or possibly possible) in NS that you like.
* What you want added/removed/altered
* Anything else you can think of!

NOTICE: I WILL BE GIVEN CREDIT FOR THE EFFORTS! I AM SPENDING MY TIME MAKING THIS FOR YOU! PLEASE RESPECT THIS NOTICE OR HAVE YOUR FACTBOOK TERMINATED AND YOUR NATION OFFICIALLY DENOUNCED!

Can I please just ask for advice? I got some WIP factbooks and I'd like you to tell me what you think after I'm done with them. I just need some pointers, it's all.

Your factbooks are actually really good! They're really well organized, and the formatting is all porportioned well, but I feel like now is the time to add on your colors-maybe you could use alternating Black and White to compliment your flag, or any other color that suits your fancy. Don't be afraid to use COLORS!

Hello. Nice fact book help thing you have running over here ^^

Thanks a lot, mate, I appreciate it.

Question: do you fancy yourself as a reader? If so do I have a story for you. PS it's my new National History/origin story after I saw my hodgepodge of a history with different origins and so forth.

If you'd like to read it just tg me or I can post it here in a spoiler of course cause it's long real long.

How goes my fact book so far? Only asking for advice and critiques of the current sections in it ^^

It's all REALLY creative and frankly amaving with it's detail and realism. But, I will say that like many others it needs nothing now but some color. Maybe you could compliment the colors of your flag or use something like creative line dividers or colored headers. It also never hurts to get a little adventurous with the Formatting tags. Otherwise, it's really at a great place and actually doing pretty well.

Could I ask you to read over my factbooks please? I'm really in early days, but I intend to expand them once I have more time, and I just wanted to see if you thought they were going well.

Factbook.

[Byzantii]

What do you think of my factbooks? I think I have too many and most of them are WIP xD.

It's fine to have lots of WIP factbooks, but they look good for how far they are now. Your use of images really makes up for the lack of formatting in some of them, but the ones that don't have images nor formatting could use some extra eye-grabbing feature. Otherwise, they're really good with how far they've come!

I think that the lavender is a bit too light of a color, but it's really good for small bursts of Character Information.

That’s not what I meant, look here.

Is it a mirrored version of the above one?

Add in some colors and images into some of the more empty ones. Maybe also try to stretch things out-tiny one-paragraph factbooks are something I call a 'Creative Turnoff'.

Could use some more images and/or color. Honestly a little drab without it.

Could you please help me with formatting with some of my factbooks, especially the ones for the two military planes? I SUCK at formatting and all the formatted ones were from templates.

I'll get right on it!

[Best Koryo]

Seeing as you are an expert when it comes to factbooks, could you give me some advice on how to improve my factbooks and your thoughts on how they are right now?

The Providence factbooks are really detailed. I like them a lot. But, I think you should divrge from the template a little on the Overview. Add in some special plair of yours-maybe a unique header/footer for it, and maybe even use it o divide each different section of the factbook.
