06:50 am - EW Mods -- Post Six -- Surprise! Another update!
The end of the year is approaching. We're adding a few more moderators to (hopefully) help us work through the ticket queue a little quicker. The queues were extremely backed up for a little while there, but everything is slowly getting back on track.

Now would be a great time to join. The new join queue is quite barren.

Expect several days for a Lothlorien, Zone47, Wyvern's Library, or Fanquarter ticket to go through.

A few reminders:

Please, please, please do not upload something that you know is going to be rejected. If you think it doesn't meet the genre requirements then it probably doesn't.
Current Mood: [mood icon] calm

 

07:34 pm - EW Mods -- Post Seven -- On Fantasy
okie. Just some reminders for everybody.
Reminder #1 Anime, and portraits

Lets say you upload a generic blue haired anime human lady portrait. First thing to remember is... ANIME DOES NOT EQUAL FANTASY. Portraits ARE NOT ALWAYS FANTASY If you say "i drew this cuz i wuz bored" or "this is my best friend anime style" it's not gonna get in. It's not fantasy. If you claim it's an rpg character in the description, it can go one of two ways, depending on the rest of the update and your gallery.

Case 1: Most of your gallery and update is filled with this type of picture. Nothing really too fantasy about much of them, but they could maybe pass as rpg characters. It's not going to get in. VISIBLE elements of fantasy are really quite important.

Case 2: Most of your gallery and update has visible elements of fantasy. Like angels and dragons and elves with glowy swords. Or even another pic of the lady with the portrait (the one without visible fantasy) casting a spell or something. Then the portrait of the rpg character without obvious fantasy elements will probably get in.

Reminder #2, normal animals

Normal looking animal.... like a wolf or tiger. NOT fantasy. If you say it's an rp character, it's still just a normal animal to us. If you say it's a werewolf and it looks EXACTLY like a normal wolf.... we'll treat it as a normal wolf. There are a few exceptions. If it looks like a normal wolf, but you call it a werewolf and have it chasing down a unicorn, fine. If you call it a werewolf and have other pictures of it in 1/2 human 1/2 wolf form, it should be alright. Linking to that would help a lot.

To summarize.....
#1 Anime is a style of art. It's not automatically fantasy, even if you give the person blue hair.
#2 You can have some portraits of characters without visible elements of fantasy in your gallery IF the rest of the gallery is obviously fantasy AND the description is fantasy.
#3 Normal animals are not fantasy. If you say they're fantasy, back it up with something.
#4 If a pic of a character doesn't have fantasy elements, but other pictures of that character do, MENTION the other pictures, or even better, LINK TO THEM.
