Q: Each of these tack strips should be cut to the length of each side of the rug. Use a tape measure to determine how long each side of the rug is, and then cut the tack strips to the appropriate length using a small handsaw or wood snips. Tack strips are generally used in carpeting. They are thin boards with sharp tacks sticking from them. Tack strips are designed to hold carpet in place. Coat the tack strips in a clear finish or with paint and let dry. This ensures that no acid from the wooden tack strips can damage the back of the rug once it is hanging. Tack strips can be purchased from most home improvement stores. Using a level to make sure the tack strip is straight, hold the strip where the top of the rug will hang and hammer in the nails along the tack strip. Repeat this process for the remaining tack strips, making sure to measure where each one should go. If hanging a heavy rug, these nails should line up with studs behind the wall. Studs in the wall can easily be found using a stud finder. Lift the rug against the top tack strip and press it firmly against the strip. Use two upholstery nails to secure each corner of the rug, and then use a third nail to secure the middle. Nail through the rug and into the mounted tack strip. Hammer the upholstery nails into each edge, starting with the sides first and saving the bottom last. The upholstery nails are both functional and decorative. They secure the rug to the tack strip and can look very fancy depending on the upholstery nails that are chosen.
A: Prepare four tack strips. Attach the tack strips to the wall. Nail the rug to the tack strip.

Q: If you're lucky enough to score a meeting with an agent, it's important to show that you understand that modeling is a business and will act professionally. That means you must be on time and prepared for the appointment. You shouldn't be rearranging your portfolio in the elevator on your way up to the office -- it should be ready to go the day before. It's also important to make a good first impression, so dress appropriately too. Your portfolio isn't the only thing that you should bring to your meeting. Some modeling agencies may want to see more casual shots as well, so you may want to bring a few candid snapshots or Polaroids with you as well. A modeling agent wants to see the real you, so wear little to no makeup and keep your hair natural. You don't have to show up to your meeting in fancy clothes, such as a gown or suit. Casual clothing works well, but make sure that it fits well. A pair of skinny jeans and a fitted tank top or t-shirt make an ideal outfit. It's a good idea to read up on the agency that you're meeting with before your appointment. Learn what models they're currently working with and who they've worked with in the past, so you have a better feel for the company. Your looks aren't the only thing that are going to impress modeling agents -- they want to see that you have a fun, engaging personality as well. The best models are confident and can express themselves easily, so speak your mind at the meeting without being rude or unprofessional. Agents want to be sure that you are genuinely interested in modeling and not just being pushed into it by your parents or others. Make sure to convey your passion for being a model. You might say, "I really love the opportunity that modeling provides to express myself," or "I never feel more confident than when I'm in front of the camera or walking down the runway." When you're meeting with modeling agents, you don't want to appear nervous or self-conscious. That's why your body language is so important. Stand and sit up straight and hold your head up high to look more sure of yourself. It also helps to maintain eye contact and smile throughout your meeting too. Try to limit nervous gestures, such as bouncing your feet, fidgeting with your hair, or tapping your fingers on the desk or table. Staying still and relaxed projects a more confident image. Try to avoid crossing your arms over your chest. It can make you appear defensive. Because modeling is such a competitive industry, chances are good that you're going to hear many no's as you try to land jobs or an agent. You have to learn not to take it personally -- sometimes, you just don't have the look that's required for a particular campaign. Even successful supermodels have been rejected at one point or another. Remind yourself that you have to have plenty of persistence and determination if you're going to make it as a model. Having a modeling agency offer you a contract is very exciting. However, if you're under 18, your parents are usually legally required to sign the contract on your behalf. They should definitely read it over before signing it, and they may even want a lawyer to take a look at it. Make sure that you understand everything that's in the contract as well -- it is your career after all. Don't be afraid to ask questions about the contract -- to your parents or your agent. It's important that you're clear on all of the details.
A: Act professionally. Showcase your personality. Use the right body language. Prepare yourself for rejection. Be careful when signing a contract.

Q: Fanfiction is always based on an existing work of art. You are essentially making a story that expands or otherwise alters existing fiction. The mediums you might choose from are endless. Fanfics have been written about books, movies, television shows, video games, and just about anything else with a narrative base and a fandom to admire it. You should pick a fictional universe you already feel closely to. Common choices for fanfic are Star Wars, Harry Potter, and a number of anime and manga franchises. The choice of universe you choose to base your own work on will have the largest impact on your story and the way it turns out. Certain universes also favour certain approaches in fanfic. It's important to note however that your choices as a fanfic writer are limitless. You can do anything you want to the source material, even if that means transforming it into something else entirely. Most fanfiction tends to be based on a science-fiction or fantasy-themed universe, like Harry Potter or Star Trek. These are great to base fanfics off of because they offer huge universes with an endless amount of storytelling potential. Look online and read up everything you can about the given universe. Even if you're planning on breaking free of the established canon (what the author/director/etc has already established) with your fanfic, it helps a lot to know the rules before you break them. The best ideas you'll get for your work will be inspired by the source material itself. With that said, it still helps to see what other fans have done with the same ideas. Using a website like Fanfiction.net, Archive of Our Own, and Wattpad, or you can take a look through some fanfiction that matches your on source material. Read some stories people have written. Most importantly, get a grasp of the ways in which people use and adapt the source. In looking for fanfiction to read, you may get the looming impression that a lot of fanfiction lacks for quality. Being part of the fanfic community means acknowledging that not everyone is at the same level of skill. Most fanfiction is amateurish, and a lot of it frankly isn't worth reading. It takes patience to find the great stuff.
A:
Choose source material to work from. Read up on the fictional universe. Read some fanfiction.
