[INTRODUCTION] [Rules for Artbenders] [FAQ] [Members] [Challenge Archives] [LJ community]

[Rules]

1] This is a hate-free zone.
Here at *Artbenders, we are tolerant to all ideas, all characters and all pairings. While every member is free to express themselves, hate artwork and fanfiction will not be allowed. Anything that *Artbenders finds to be outright hate-art will not be permitted in the bi-weekly or special challenges. In addition to this, any Artbender found attacking another for their beliefs may be suspended or banned from particpating in any challenges depending on the seveerity of the situation.

This is not to say that you are not allowed to poke fun at pairings or characters. On the contrary, you are encouraged to express yourself. Just do so in a tasteful and inoffensive manner.

2] Art-theft is not permitted and will not be tolerated.
As an Artbender, you must promise your fellow benders that any artwork you submit will be of your own design. Any Artbender found tracing, copying, manipulating or out-right stealing someone else's work may be suspended or banned depending on the severity of the theft. In addition to this, screencapture collages and manipulations do not qualify as artwork as far as *Artbenders is concerned.

Suffice to say, anything you didn't make from scratch, please do not submit to *Artbenders.

If you do spot an Artbender bending someone else's work and claiming it as their own, please note *Artbenders privately and the matter will be looked into quietly.

3] Have fun!
It sounds like a silly rule, but the number one rule of Artbending is to have fun! It's not the end of the world if you don't produce the best work for a challenge. It's also no big deal if you can't think of anything to submit! This is supposed to be fun. If you get inspired, run with it! If not, that's fine too! It happens to the best of us.

Just relax and go with the flow. If you're not having fun, you're not Artbending!
