1.) If you have not read the book or any of the stories, no worries! Please look at the Character Description post for examples! Many have links to their stories, but you don’t have to read them! Especially since a few of the characters are from my published novel that you’d have to buy.
2.) Be kind to everyone here! Unless they start spouting Nazi talk, racism or steal... be polite. If someone annoys you, tell me, don't start fights as most of the time that is what they want you to do.
3.) If you want to advertise for us, feel free to!! ^_^
4.) NO ART OR CHARACTER THEFT! These pictures do not have permission to be posted anywhere else but here, or on their artist’s art sites. You may NOT use them as example pictures for your characters or for anything else!
No exceptions will be made! If you did the artwork, you can post it on your own site or a site like DA if you so desire, but remember to put the standard fanart copyright info (*character* (character name) from: Predator Turned Prey by Ravyn Crescent. Art by: *yourname* (should be self explanatory)) and it'd be really nice if you link to readptp.com. Especially if you put the picture up on DeviantArt.
Please go here for more copyright info
5.) Please sign your work smile I want to be sure everyone knows that it's your art! Not a huge watermark or anything, something small.
6.) You may enter as many pictures as you want! But remember, this contest is for my characters, nothing else.
7.) I can add rules as I see fit.
8.) ABSOLUTELY NO S&M BONDAGE!! (If you are into that sort of thing in life, fine. I don't care, but I fight against true slavery and many people confuse what real slavery is, so I stay away from the S&M stuff) Chains may be used as symbolism or scenes, but nothing sexual or S&M fetish stuff. If they are in chains, they shouldn't be happy about it. I'd post examples of what I don't want, but I cannot find any that's child appropriate. If you're wondering why, ask me.
9.) Please do not use these characters, ideas, concepts, names, or anything else for... anything else! I do NOT give permission for character theft, and since my novel is copyrighted I will press charges and be very sad. I lost a friend who tried to steal Hunter for her comic book after originally drawing him as a birthday gift for me... It was heartbreaking and I never want to go through it again.
10.) On 30 April 2003, President George W. Bush signed into law the PROTECT Act of 2003 (also dubbed the Amber Alert Law) which again criminalizes cartoon child pornography. This means characters who are, or are depicted as being under eighteen are not to be placed in elicit, suggestive, or pornographic poses. So this is not JUST a personal choice by me, it is also a law. A few of these characters are CHILDREN and putting them in sexual situations will not be tolerated. Sorry, but I have to include this rule... we received an entry of Hunter in my last contest that... angered a lot of people. Especially me... they're black listed for life.
