Welcome to the Merpunk Community!
What is Merpunk?
Art, design, costuming, and everything that celebrates life in the water. We encourage crafting and making among our membership. We also encourage members to post water-related art, crafts, and imagery for inspiration and discussion.
But like every community, we need rules to keep things smoothed over!
Rule #1: Post your art and crafts. If you have made anything related to water, life in the oceans and lakes, post it here! But ONLY post things that are related to that topic. No land princesses or pirates allowed! :) (We eat those for lunch!)
Rule #2: Post other people's art and crafts. But here's where it gets tricky!
HOST IMAGES YOURSELF. Do NOT steal people's personal webspace. If its Flickr or Deviantart or similar sites, I honestly don't care, but if its someone's personal website, don't hotlink images, please!
ALWAYS ALWAYS CREDIT OTHER PEOPLE'S WORK. If you think its necessary, ask if its okay to promote their work here. Don't say something is yours when its not (we'll find out), and always tell us where you got what you found. That way we can properly appreciate someone's hard work and hobby! If you don't know where it came from, please say so.. some of us may actually know and tell you! :D
Rule #3: Post what you are selling.
What you post MUST follow the rules of the community. Everything else will be deleted.
Be subtle!. Don't spam our community with ads. If your ads are considered 'gratuitous', they'll be deleted immediately.
Rule #4: Don't be gross.
Nudity and tasteful artful work is allowed here. Tentacle porn is NOT.
