Feather Points is the Beatus art and lit point system!
You earn feather points(FP) by drawing or writing about your BA yourself, or having others draw or write them. The below guide may change with time as things get brought up to staff and possibly change as more members join us.
This page explains the breakdown of art and lit pieces and shows you the feather counts. Companions also have bonuses associated with them and there may be special bonuses throughout for other things, like winning shows and BA of the month.
Applied FP has a maxiumin you can apply. This number is 1000 FP.
Breakdowns are REQUIRED to be listed somewhere for admins to easily see when images come through.
Breakdowns are required per BA featured in an art or lit piece.
