Asking is definetly frowned upon. Awhile back there were threads placed on all the boards asking Diser's to please not ask for tags, as it was spoiling the magic. Just a head's up. Someday, if and when it does happen, it will be more magical because it just happened rather than asking for it.
The tag fairy is a hard one to figure out. All I know for sure is that the TF apparently hates to be asked for a tag but wants to surprise people when they least expect it. Good luck though!
Just keep posting...someday a Tag Fairy will be perusing the boards and will come across something witty, cute or embarrassing that you posted and voila! Your tag will appear in color no less!
tag fairys can only add color and don't type anything in your tag will make u lose it i did and learned my lesson not to touch the tagfairys or they be mad at u
