  • *** Rules for Posting Fan Art on This Forum ***

    In order to keep this forum from getting cluttered and we would like if everyone please follow some simple rules. These rules are modified from the original ones from the old boards - PLEASE RE READ THEM BEFORE STARTING A NEW THREAD.

    (1) One thread per fandom. All links to all fan art must be posted in that one thread. Please just name your thread the name of your fandom, i.e., Harry Potter or Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Don't editorialize or add punctuation.

    (2) You may post any fanart, fanart challenges/ideas (if you don't like to write but want to see a certain story written), comments about fanart, and almost anything related to fanart about any television show, movie, book or comic book series that isn't covered by one of our featured forums (Superman, Smallville, Lois & Clark, Veronica Mars, The 4400, Supernatural and the new Aquaman).

    (a) If you want to post a crossover, either create a Crossovers thread, or post in the thread for the "main" fandom of the crossover.

    (b) All fanfart should be rated G to PG-13. No exceptions. Which means if you can't see it on network television, you won't see it on these boards. We will not be moving threads - we will simply delete the inappropriate ones.

    (c) SLASH IS ALLOWED. That means that you may come across art here that have same-sex romantic relationships between characters. Anyone caught flaming (insulting) the creator, people who enjoy such art, or homosexuality in general will be AT LEAST warned on the first offense. Please keep these stories to their appropriate categories.

    3) Be nice to each other. That means constructive criticism only. Criticize the work, not the author. Also keep in mind that there are different writing styles and levels here, as well as people who may not speak English as a first language. You are not required to be Shakespeare to post your work here.

    (3) Also post your suggestions for how to make the board better. This thread would be the place to do that. Also post if you like the board, because let's face it, even moderators need love, too.

    (4) Stay on topic. Anything that isn't related to fanart will be moved and/or deleted. There are other boards for other topics.

    (5) By posting fanart here, you are saying that the fanart (unless clearly noted) is CREATED BY YOU. PLAGIARISTS WILL BE BANNED WITHOUT WARNING!! Anyone coming here and posting someone else's art work or videos as their own will be permanently banned from the board without warning.

    (6) There will be only one help/request thread. Please do not open another thread for requests.

    (7) Do not use this forum as a chat board.

    (8) Please follow KryptonSite's rules regarding images:
    21) RULES FOR POSTING IMAGES: Please DO NOT post large images on any forums.By "large" we mean no wider OR taller than 200 pixels. All images should either be posted with URL tags that link to the photo or with IMG tags to a thumbnail size photo, which many image-posting services do automatically. If your image hosting server does not provide thumbnail size for message boards then you must either reduce the size of the image yourself or only post a link to it.

    Additionally, please do not hotlink any images from other sites, as this steals valuable bandwidth from other sites and costs people money. Finally, please DO NOT post any images that contain another site's name or their watermark. It is way tacky, y'all.
    9) When linking to other people's fan art or fan vids, DO NOT HOTLINK. That means, link to the page on which it's found, NOT the image directly. And ***especially*** do not post other people's fan art with the IMG tag!!

    10) Please remember we have a one week spoiler rule. That means you must wait one week after an episode airs before you can post about it on the regular forums. That includes images of recently aired episodes.

    11) Spoiler pictures and mini-vids may NOT be used in avatars since they will appear across the entire board. You MUST hold by the one week spoiler rule before you can place images from recently aired episodes in your avatar.

    12) Do not steal other people's custom avatars. Unless the artist specifically says you can use the images in your avatar you MUST ask before taking.

    13) Those who are caught using spoilery or stolen images or in their avatars will be PMed and asked for the removal. If the member does not remove the image a board Administrator will. Repeat offenders will be banned.

    You get the idea.

    SOME SUGGESTIONS:

    (1) If you want feedback, let the readers know what you want. If you just want comments, say that too.


    That's it for now. Have fun!
