Content Creator pages refers to pages for the actual creators of Fan Content on Life Is Strange Fans. This includes Fan Artists, Cosplayers, Writers, Musician and Video Creators.

Since the pages for different Creator types are mostly the same, we’ll cover all of them here.

Each Creator page is broken down into 3 sections –  the Header, the Sidebar and the Content.

THE HEADER – This is a large banner and contains the main information about the creator.

Cover Image – This is a large background image for the header.

Main Photo – This is the main or featured image of the Creator, framed in a polaroid style border.

Creator Name – This is the name of the Creator.

Verified Icon – This orange checkmark/tick icon will only show if the Creator page has been verified as owned and managed by the Creator themselves. See below for more about verifying Creator pages.

Country – This shows the country the Creator is from. Clicking the country will take you a page showing only Creators of that type from that country.

Social Links – Clicking any icons that appear here will take you to the social channel/profile for this Creator on that particular social network or website.

Content Count – This will show a count of how many of a particular type of content this Creator has on the site  –  for example, in the image above, we can see how many Fan Art posts by this Fan Artist are on the site.

Follow Button – Click this button to Follow this Creator. If you’ve already Followed the Creator, the word ‘Unfollow’ will show instead and the user/plus icon will be filled. Click the button again if you want to Unfollow them. The purpose of Following Creators is to enable a dynamic feed to users known as the Follow Feed, which shows any new content added to the site by Creators or featuring Characters they Follow. More more on this, see the ‘MY FOLOW FEED’ section on the documentation page for My Dashboard.

Follower Count – This shows how many users are Following this Creator. Clicking the number will open a modal which will list the Fans who are Following them. You can click the name or avatar of the Fan to go to the their profile.

Views Count – This shows the total number of Views this Creator’s page has received from all users.

Edit Button – Click this button to edit the Creator page. A modal will pop up with a form. This is the same form used for adding new Creator pages of this type, except the fields will already be filled in with the relevant values. Simply add or change what you want and click the Update button to edit the Creator page. You will only see this button if you’re the author of the Creator page.

SIDEBAR – The sidebar may vary slightly for each type, but all of them have a section denoting whether this Creator page is managed by the actual Creator themselves (e.g. the Fan Artist), or managed by a Fan on their behalf. The avatar and name of the actual user will be shown, with each linking to their profile page.

If the page is managed by the Creator, you will see ‘CREATOR OWNED PAGE’ at the top along with ‘Page Is Managed By The {CREATOR TYPE}’.

If the page is managed by a Fan instead, you will see ‘FAN OWNED PAGE’ along with ‘Page Is Managed By A Fan’.

An additional button, ‘Request Ownership’, will also appear below this on any Fan-owned Creator page. Click this to open a modal with information about how to request ownership of the page if the page is currently managed by a Fan, but you are the actual Creator the page is about and would like to control it.

As explained there, you will need to contact us via social media from an account that has at least some of the content featured on the site by this Creator so that we can verify you are the actual Creator.

Below the ownership box, you’ll see additional boxes that list any Collections this Creator’s content has been added to/featured in, as well as any Characters featured in content by them. Each of these will have a count showing the amount too. The name and featured image of each item are clickable and will link directly to that content.

On Musician and Video Creator pages, an extra box for Music or Video Playlists will also show.

If this Creator has not been featured in any Collections, Playlists or either yet, a relevant message will display.

THE CONTENT – This is the main feature of a Creator page, showing all the content by them that has been added to the site.

Filters are provided at the top to further narrow down results. You can hover over each item to display the name of the content, click on the image to go directly to that post, and Favourite/Unfavourite or zoom in using the buttons provided.
