Guidelines/rules for HiddenFairyTailFans

The Group Rules and Guidelines.

Joining is free!   We welcome all fans, but there are rules that members must follow in order to keep the group from going out of control.

You don't have to contribute anything in order to join the group; we just want everyone to read the Rules/Guidelines and understand them.



This group to get the new deviants out and about so they can become well known and noticed. And even better its over the beautiful fanarts of the Fairy Tail series! We receive a multitude of deviations per day, these guidelines are created to control the flow and keep everyone's inboxes from flooding. It will help members and watchers from constantly spam-clicking the Delete button. 

There is no need to worry over artwork not being nice enough, we understand that you are trying to get known better, so why would we judge your art? Everyone has their own style in creating beautiful masterpieces! It doesn't have to be amazingly presentable because we know that everyone varies in skill level. It shouldn't look as if it was stolen though. If we are unsure about it, we compare it other works that you have in your gallery. 

We will not tolerate Art Thief. If we discover art work that is stolen, the member will automatically be removed from the group without a warning.
Digital/Traditional art works are acceptable. All works must be completed. If the work is very graphic (gory/bloody/etc) or has nudity, it must be "Matured". Members can be sensitive or much too young to view it.

Quick sketches, scraps, works-in-progress, lined-paper works, or poorly scanned works will be accepted with exceptions. We don't accept Base Arts or alterations of Official Artworks. (wallpapers/avatars/etc.) And we consider the manga redraws or colored versions.
Cosplays, Arts and Crafts, and Photography are acceptable. For cosplays, arts and crafts (sculptures, clay modeling, etc.) we prefer them to be completed.  We pay close attention to not only the completed costume itself, but at the scenery or where it was taken. Backgrounds are essential to the photography.
Works of Fiction are acceptable, but it should proofread and your own original piece.
Shoujo-ai/Shonen-ai works are acceptable. As long as they do not violate any of dA Rules (pornographic, etc). We will not accept explicit/matured works (Hentai) in relation to these works.

We allow fan Original Characters as long as they are placed in the correct folder.

Limit yourself to one (4) deviations per day. Don't give us your whole gallery. It must be approved/submitted into the gallery before you can submit another one. Once it is approved (or seen in the gallery) give yourself 2-4 minutes before submitting again. Be considerate of our inboxes (Message Centre).

If your works get "Declined" don't feel rejected. Challenge yourself. Practice even more. Please don't feel obligated to leave the Group just because your deviation was Declined. We know that you can create better works of art!
