Perfect! Would it be that one should use every chapter they've survived, or just the earliest?
I will definitely use these...

I assumed they would stack, so you'd get one for each one you went through.

Myself and some others were thinking it would be kind of neat to have badges to show which chapter breaks a person endured and survived. My initial thoughts were for embroidered patches, but it was suggested having some military style ribbons for use online would be most best! So, I started playing with the idea and here are my notes and first digital ideas for thought and critique.

Oh my goodness, people! How do you get those crazy and creative ideas? It must be a symptom that comes with chapter breaks... :P

I like the idea very much, though I don't remember which chapter breaks I have survived. I think I stopped for some time during the prologue and started reading again when the First Chapter was on. Yeah, that must be it.

*claps* This is definitely a most best idea!

Maybe you could condense the badges/make them all melt into each other when put side by side? That way they wouldn't become a suuuper long string. :D
A badge for original followers (like a veterans badge) would also be pretty cool.

As for colors, Chapter 2 could have brown, that was pretty much the main color in that chapter.

Yay for veteran's badge! :D

Also, maybe we could have a little badge for the ones who read "A Redtail's Dream"...

Ohohohoo these are great! But is, say, the "chapter 5" ribbon for the break before or after the chapter?? Seeing as you've got a prologue ribbon I'd say after, but just to make sure

Oh and if I caught up with ssss just as the chapter break before 6 started, that earns me a ribbon, right?

(also. Has someone made a cover of "summertime sadness" but "chapter break sadness" yet)
you'll know where to find me.

YES YES YES!
also a while ago some pin badges were suggested  (maybe using the 6-star design or something? that would leave the Hannunvaakurna for aRTD)
Anyway, I want these on my forum profile!
Also, I want some physical ones for the next Minnion Meetup

Yay! I'm glad people like them! If you have suggestions for colors, please let me know!

I was thinking that putting a stripe in for which book it is (one stripe for 1, two for 2, etc.) but I guess we need some for the chapters too. or a number or something.

I would like to make some smaller sizes that could be used for forum footers, so it doesn't get overwhelming.

Maybe come up with some other sorts of badges as well, but I wanted to work on this set first.

Lars had suggested the color of the chapter previous to the break, which sounded good to me.

Ooh, this is a really cool idea. Maybe instead of getting one for each chapter break survived, it'd be easier to just use the one from your first. I think it'd get the same message across without getting as cluttered. And perhaps along with a veteran's badge, the earlier ones should be a little more decorated as a way to celebrate long-time readers (and chapter break survivors), even if they weren't around from the very beginning.
Life is a state of mind.

You could make them really small and pixelated, like those fandom scarves you see on Tumblr...

For the forum they could maybe be just a tad larger than the flag icons, since those work so well. A little smaller than this mayhaps?
