These rules are to give people an idea of what kind of group this is as well as guidelines to follow with such things as submission, behaviour, and how things will be run in the group.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rules within the group

- Please be respectful to others within the group (This shouldn't even need to be said). Those caught or reported to being disrespectful, rude, and/or offensive will be removed from the group, banned, and then subsequently reported to DA admins if it persists.

- This is a specific rule regarding certain submissions. We do not accept pieces depicting death or excessive gore of any kind. Whether it be in fanfiction or imagery, it will be rejected immediately. While those that submitted the piece will not be in danger of being banned or removed from the group, we ask that you refrain from submitting pieces breaching this rule. The founder and co-founders themselves have had to omit their own pieces depicting death as an example.

- It goes without saying as well that submissions should be submitted to the correct folder. If you are unsure of what folder to put something in, contact the founder or one of the co-founders and we'll help you in which folder the piece in question belongs for future reference. (We will put up a guide on what goes where in time. But until then, use sensible judgement or contact an admin of the group through the group notes.

-New guideline regarding submission. Some of you may have noticed the new crossover folder. This is for when there is a character from another fandom present. This does not concern things such as RWBY characters dressing up as a character from another fandom. Those can go in their respective character folders still. In regards to crossover fanfics, they can still be placed in the fanfiction folder as that is more generalised.

-UPDATE. In regards to screenshots, photoshops, splicing of screenshots, or character mashup memes with pics grabbed elsewhere, or anything similar, we will not be accepting them in our folders if they are submitted. These are not forms of art, but instead just screengrabs, and thus no original work has been done. Redraws and the like however are perfectly fine, as there is work being put in by the artist responsible for the piece.

Also, for general submissions, when choosing a folder for your submission, but unsure of which folder as your piece may have a mix of characters in it, we ask you to use your judgement and refer to your piece and who the titular character, or the focus of your piece is. So, put it In the folder of who the piece is focused on basically

But, if that's difficult to decide, If there are more members of one team than another (for example a piece with Ren, Jaune and Sun would be in the JNPR), or put it in the folder of the character that is closest to being main cast (ex: a piece with Pyrrha and Ruby, Ruby is closer to main cast so it would be in the Ruby Rose folder)

To keep it simple for side characters and how they're paired, such as Winter paired with Qrow, or Oscar with Ruby, those simply will go in the "Other Characters" folder, due to the amount of side characters introduced to date.

And lastly, please do actually look through the folders carefully when submitting, and not just leave it on the default selection. Take the time, make everyone's job easier, lest your work not be accepted. We do want your art to help the group grow and show off your pieces, but please help us to help you~

These are basic rules. If you have any suggestions or worries about the rules, leave a comment and we will address them and take them into consideration. Other than that, enjoy yourselves, help the group grow with love for RWBY, and let's kick this off with a Yang!

Love, the admins.

Hello all!

Not sure if some of you noticed, but another group was formed today As well as send out invites to the admins of our group here.

We would just like to state that this group is not affiliated with us any way, nor did any of our admins set it up either. This is an entirely separate group, with unclear motives at this time with the choice of name.

Please do not be confused by the similarity in name if it can be helped and we appreciate any and all continued loyalty greatly. After all, you are what keeps the group alive and its heart beating. Myself and other admins simply couldn't even begin to thank our members enough for support and contributions. And without you, we'd never have surpassed 1000 members of course! Myself and the other admins, old and new, never would've believed we'd come this far way back when we set up/joined! So, once again, we thank you!
