salut gals and guys.

This article is basically bits and bats on what i think make a brilliant pick just that little bit extra sparkly...i don't suppose it has any real purpose but hopefully some of toi will find it useful....or a amusing read :)


5. haut, retour au début tip number five, pick something interesting...I'm pretty certain no one really has an opinion on what color everyone's teapots are ou finds the length of your finger nails amusing. It may seem like a obvious thing but don't ask a pick for the sake of just asking a pick. Ask a pick to hear people's opinions ou to entertain.

4. haut, retour au début tip number four, give a good number of decent options. Can't think of plus than four? Do some research ou why not add that amusing but pointless option e.g. if toi were asking "who's your favori tv doctor?" add the option "meh, doctors are over rated, everyone knows the nurses do the real work".

toi can really tell when someone has put a lot of effort in to pick when there's a long liste of decent options and the odd funny option will probably stop people from adding the dreaded link option

3. haut, retour au début tip number three this is basically a bit about pick series, i think some of them can work really well especially as toi only have a limited amount of space, however pick series for the sake are easy to spot and just seem...pointless

a bit of continuity between picks is always amusing as well e.g. using the same reference

pick series work very well if your making a amount of picks about a fanpop joke, i'm sure chel won't mind me saying her link picks are a good example of this

another way pick series can improve your picks is using them for a plus practical reason like link so everyone recognizes it's part of the same competition.

2. haut, retour au début tip number two, making biased picks can be amusing but it can also be annoying.

a biased pick can go either way, they can turn out funny ou really annoying

for example a biased pick in a bad way would be

"Are toi pro life ou pro choice" and having the first option "pro life" and the seconde option "pro choice because i don't understand abortion is murder". That's not a fair way for people to express their opinion.

however toi could ask the question on a tv montrer "If they were to make another season what would be the best storyline" and have one of the options as "i am clearly evil as i don't want another season" and maybe use a image of a baddie from the show. It is a biased question but it's not oppressing anyone's opinion and it's just a bit of fun

1. haut, retour au début tip number one! images can make all the difference in a good pick, i don't just mean adding images, although just adding them does make a pick better why not add some funny ou ironic images.

...okay i'm not explaining this brilliantly so let me use some examples

asking who your think is the closest family in a tv show? why not add some images of each family being dysfunctional




have toi added a ironic option to pick? e.g. asking "what do toi think of adding "all of the above" to picks?" and then having "all of the above" as a option brilliant opportunity for a amusing ironic image





toi can even use images well on yes/no picks e.g. "do toi think beauty matters?" add a image of a volcan (beautiful but deadly) and the ugliest thing toi can think of...or if toi can't think of anything like that why not add a funky yes no. I made some of these earlier on today link the first ones of these, not exactly masterpieces but yes/no ain't much to work with :P

so that's my haut, retour au début five tips, not the greatest article ever written but i had fun babbling away and i hope it was useful ou amusing to one of toi guys :D
