Welcome Everyone!

Hello everyone, and welcome to the group devoted to Pairings from everything you can possibly imagine! Here's how the group is set up for now, changes may occur as we get more members, but we'll be sure to keep everyone up to date :aww:

How to Join:
-At the top of the page is a handy little button that says "Join Our Group". Hit that, and you're in!

How to Submit to the Gallery:
-You must be a member to submit to the gallery.
-If you go to the gallery page, you'll see a number of folders. You can't submit to the Featured Group, but you can to any of the others. Please try and submit to the appropriate group, it'll make the lives of your admins that much easier :aww:
-Art must relate to Pairings is some way, don't submit anything that has nothing to do with our group, thanks!
-There is a limit of 10 pieces per day.
-Only submit art that you yourself drew. Do not try and steal anyone's artwork and submit it as your own, you will be kicked out without question.

The Gallery Folders:
Canon Pairings: These are fan pairings, couples that got together in their original story. Whether it be books or movies, these characters get together in the original. This would be Cinderella and Prince Charming.
Non-Canon Pairings: These are also fan pairings, but the characters never dated or anything in their original story. This would be Cinderella running off to date Jack Sparrow or something =P
OC Pairings: Here, one of the characters comes from a published story, and the other is an Original Character (OC) of your own creation. This would be Cinderella marrying her best friend from when she was a servant girl, and you made up the guy.
Original Pairings: Here, both characters are entirely original, not coming from any existing book, movie or anything. they don't even have to have names :)
Same Sex Pairings: Pretty self explanatory. This folder is for artwork about couples who are of the same gender.

How to Submit Favorites:
-Anyone can submit a favorite. If there's a piece you think should be appreciated by more people, then suggest it as a favorite :aww:
-You can suggest anyone's art for a favorite, it doesn't have to be your own.
-Once again, I have no limit set for the number of favorites you can submit. But please be nice, the admins do have lives outside of deviantArt and we have to cycle through them all. So try not to do too many at once, ok?

Rules:
-For now, we're going to plan on keeping things rated PG-13 for this group. We're not a porn gallery, we'd like to keep things a bit more classy here. If your art does not meet the standards we believe would be appropriate, your art will be declined. My general rule is "pants on" but this may vary depending on how it's done...
-Please be kind to other members. It's guaranteed that not everyone is going to like the same fan pairings. People are not going to agree. But it doesn't mean people need to insult another person's likes and dislikes or to be rude about it. If you don't like a pairing, don't look at the artwork, simple as that.
-Courtesy is a wonderful thing. Just be nice! If you have some free time, go through and comment on people's work, favorite what you like. People that are helpful and kind may be rewarded for it!
-Your admins are human, and have lives outside of this group. Sometimes, we may be slow to respond or not have an exact answer. We'll do the best we can, but please don't expect us to be all-knowing =P
-There are very few pairings that we don't accept. Bestiality pairings and incest pairings are two of them. Also, no threesomes, as this is a group for couples.
-If I'm not sure about a pairing, I'll ask. please don't get upset with me for sticking to the rules or not knowing about your fandom! i'm good, but I'm not that good :P

Changes may occur with these rules, but like I said, you'll be kept up to date :aww:

Thanks for reading, and I hope everyone enjoys being a part of this group!!

Well, mostly XD I'll be staying as co-founder for a few days to help with the transition, but then I'll be just a regular member :)

So first off, say hello to your new founder, ~Ngoc12! This Sweetie McSweetie Pants is going to be taking over! Be sure to cut her some slack as she gets used to things :P This group is pretty big as groups go and might take a little getting used to. You can all help out by reading the rules and following them! Which you should do anyways, but it's extra important now :XD:

A HUGE thank you for everyone who applied! It means so much that you all were willing to step up and help out! you're all wonderful and I wish I could squish you all into one big hug! :tighthug: If you're still interested in helping out, ~Ngoc12 is the one to talk to now!

And now I'm getting all sad...you guys are amazing, thank you for making my time here such a memorable experience everyone! See you on the flip side :D
~Whisperwings
EDIT: If no one wants the group, I'm going to have to delete it. Please, if anyone is interested, please come forth! Not a single person has so far... Remember, you can run things however you want. You can bring on other people to accept deviations, or you could d it all on your own. But I can't run this group any longer and if no one is willing to take over, then I'm simply going to have to get rid of the whole group...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I'm afraid it's time for me to throw in the towel ^^; I jut don't have the time to devote to this group anymore, and you guys deserve a founder who is available more regularly and actually has time to host events and such :P

I love you all though! And so now, it's time for a call to arms! Sort of...actually, it's more a call of who would be interested in running an awesome group like this?? We have over a thousand members who deserve someone new and active!

Basic requirements:
-Free time! Not just the time, but the will to use it towards this group. It's not a ton of work, but it can be time consuming sometimes.
-At the moment, only the founder can accept artwork into the group. You're welcome to change that if you like, but if not, you're basically the only filter making sure things are being posted into the correct folders.
-Patience. People don't always read the rules, they don't always submit to the right places, and some people are incredibly rude sometimes. I won't deny that a couple times I have been put down for just doing my job. For the most part, people are amazing though, and perfectly understanding!!
-Ideas! For contests, events, prompts...anything!
-Being organized and prompt with your work. Opening voting after a contest ends, posting results once the voting is over, that sort of thing.

Seriously, there's not much to it as long as you have the time to devote to it! And it can be a lot of fun :) I'll be happy to stay on a contributor and help out if you need it, but the new founder will be able to change things up if they want to!

I can't step down until I have a replacement though, that's not fair on the members, so if you're interested in the job, please send me (*Whisperwings) a note with your application! There's no form or anything, I just ask that you remember this is a commitment. If you're only sort of interested, don't sign up! You can't come in, hang out for a month or two, get bored, and stop working.

Hello! Just a quick question.

Would I be able to submit my picture, found here --> [link] to the canon folder? I guess it's more of a family picture than a romantic one, but I'm just double checking.

Please and thank you! :)
