Jarod Keeperships FAQ
I have noticed that several people have some of the same questions about keeperships in general and the keeperships on this page. Also, I have noticed that there are several items that are frequently requested and have already been claimed. So in an attempt to make things a little easier for those who visit this page I have decided to create an FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page. I hope that this will answer some of your questions and I will add too this page as I see that some of the same questions are being asked and several of the same keepership items are being requested.
Where did you get the idea for such an unusual concept?
I was first introduced to the idea of keeperships after Cheryl (aka MystryCult) created a keepership site for Miss Parker. Until then I had never heard of it but after a while I was intriqued and decided to create my own site for Jarod. Through searching the internet I have found that the fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer also have an extensive network of keepership sites. In fact, this is the source of the Keepership Directions that you will find on most of the keeper pages.
Why do you place a limit on the number of things I can claim?
Well from what I have seen this seems to be standard practice on most of the keepership pages. Some sort of limit needs to be set for my own sanity and to keep it relatively fair. Right now the limit is at 8 and it will probably not be increased until the start of the 4th season. I want to give everyone overseas a chance to see season 3 and get a chance to claim keeperships from that season.
Why are there restrictions on what I can keep?
The fact is that I am pretty liberal as to what I let people keep. The only restrictions are that it can not be from a show that hasn't aired, it can't be something dirty and something that is already claimed by someone else.
OK now I know you would like to know what I mean by "dirty". Common sense should pretty much dictate this one. Generally try to keep it PG or PG-13. I am one of the few keepership pages that allows you to keep "body parts". So far I haven't had too many requests that I would consider that bad. Let's please keep it that way (-;
What do I do if I want to keep something and someone else has claimed it?
Most people have allowed me to post their e-mail address. If you see that the person has their e-mail address posted just click on it and e-mail them and ask them if they would mind sharing. If they do not have their e-mail address posted then e-mail me and I will ask them for you. When you share with someone you are the co-keeper of that item. I am limiting the number of co-keepers to two. If I didn't put a limit then things could get out of hand.
How do I know if you have granted my keepership?
I try to personally e-mail everyone and let them know if their keepership has been granted or not. However, I do sometimes get behind and I don't get around to it. So if you don't get an e-mail from me check the pages and see if your keepership has been posted. Remember that it may not be posted for a few days. If you haven't heard from me and you don't see it listed on the keepership pages within a week then you may e-mail me and ask if your keepership has been granted.
There are several popular items that have been requested several times. Please refrain from asking for these things. Some people have had these items for a while and don't want to share and some of the items already have co-keepers.

Tips on Keeping
This is based on things that I have encountered during the time that I have been running this site.
Try to be specific with your requests. For example, instead of requesting Jarod's sunglasses request a specific pair that you have seen him wear.
If you see something that you like and it's already claimed think of how it might be worded a little differently. Essentially it's the same thing with a little different twist. This takes a little creative thinking but several people have done it and it adds a little depth to the keeperships.
Sometimes it helps to think around a theme. Is there a particular episode, personality trait, or other other aspect of the show that interests you. If you start out with an idea like this it makes it easier to come up with specific keeperships
Try to be creative. That's what makes this so much fun. A lot of people have said that they like seeing the way some people word their keeperships.
Something doesn't have to actually be physically present on the show. It can be an idea or a concept based on what you have seen the characters do and say. Keeperships are by no means limited to what you can physcially see.
If you are stumped and don't have any good ideas feel free to ask me for help. Try to have a general idea of what you would like to keep and I will do what I can to help you out
