WELCOME TO THE FATE/STAY NIGHT CLUB!We hope you enjoy your stay here at the group. But before you begin, please continue reading for the rules. Thank you~
Be polite and respect each other.
If you don't like artwork here, don't look at it. It's pointless to become a member if you are not interested in FSN art. Respect the others' opinions and preferences.
Any behavior that goes against the rules will cause you a warning. If you continue to behave in that way you will be banned. We want a group to have fun and share art after all, don't we?
The Group accepts only Fate Stay Night characters and Original Characters made to fit in the F/sn universe.
We accept any level of skill and quality.
Anyway, consider the group isn't your scrapbook, so avoid posting things that are so badly scanned/photographed that you can hardly tell what's on the picture.
Also, please don't submit WIPs, post the finished version only. If you need critique on your WIPs there are other groups better suited to that purpose.
Of course, if you submit a sketch you weren't planning to color and then you change your mind no one will bite you... just don't do it all the time, okay?
Accepting:
Traditional and Digital art are both welcome
Lineart - only if it's not meant to be colored, can stand on its own, or if it's meant to be available for coloring by other artists
Literature & Comics- if you've created your own version of what could happen using OCs and/or the original characters, or comics and strips about the series, they're welcome here
Cosplay - Accepted and loved. It's great seeing new and creative ways to show off your costumes and ideas for Fate/stay night.
Figure photography - if you have F/sn figures you can submit photos you take of them.
Mature content is accepted up to a point. You may submit nudity, yuri, yaoi or other sexual themed drawings as well as ones containing blood when it's done tastefully. Keep in mind that this club is for everyone, so drawings that contain too much of them will be removed. General rule of thumb is that it MUST follow the dA rules about Mature content, so No 18+, and tag your submission as mature appropriately.
NOT ALLOWED
Complying to the rules of deviantArt about copyright, the group won't accept submissions that incorporate (manipulated or not):
Official artwork from TYPE-MOON or any other source which you don't own the copyright of, including screenshots from anime series/movie, the original Visual Novel, manga scans and other media. It doesn't matter if you manipulated it or not, it's not allowed. With "manipulated" we mean any kind of editing over a picture, like applying filters to alter light/color/etc, blend different images together, adding text, scribbling, drawing, or painting over it, removing background around the characters, etc...
Same thing applies to fanarts and non-official artwork used without providing the original artist's consent.
Traced artwork, both traditional and digital. Although these are mostly tolerated by dA policy, they are forbidden in the group since Jan. 14th 2011 (fatestaynight1.deviantart.com/…, so, please, don't post them in the group. We'd like that Fate fans would express their love for the series by creating original fan art from the heart instead of keeping on tracing. Also, drawing things without tracing will make you improve better and faster.
Non-traced pictures referenced from existing artwork are accepted, but keep in mind they might be rejected if they look too much like the original. If your picture gets rejected but you have drawn it freehand without tracing, you can try to resubmit. If you keep on having no luck, feel free to note the group, I will check it out.
In general: you didn't make it? Make sure you can obtain permission to manipulate/repost it. You don't have permission? Don't post it. Please note that Google Images and wallpapers websites are not valid stock resources, and you don't have permission to use the things you find there.
In this regard, please note that we're not machines and we make mistakes. Some forbidden deviations might have been been overlooked, or we might have been unable to identify the original artwork they've been stolen/traced from.
If you think something in the gallery or faves shouldn't be here because it violates the rules, please note the group and provide evidence.
PLEASE NOTE that if you're found submitting such stuff it will be deleted from the group and you'll be most likely reported to the dA mods. Repeated violations of this rule will result in banning from the group.

SUBMISSION LIMITS
Members can submit up to 4 deviations per day (this might change as the group grows). This is a measure to avoid flooding the members' inbox. It's also a way to discourage you to post your whole gallery in bulk: you should submit artwork that you love and you are proud of. The group is not your gallery storage. We want a inspiring and clean gallery to show the beauty of FSN.
Also be sure to submit in the right folder. The staff may have the patience to move it to the right one but maybe not all the time.
Submissions to the gallery folders are moderated and require 2 votes.
Any member can add artworks to favorites (max 5 per day).
Members are free to add to favorites as many artworks as they wish. Only one vote will be required so we will be able to prevent artworks that don't fit to the club from being added.
Contributors can add unlimited favorites to the group per day.
Favorites can work as suggestions as well. If we see a beautiful piece we'll probably request to be submitted to the club's gallery. So fav fav fav~

Contributor's Code of Conduct
As a contributor, you are expected to know the group's rules and apply them.
If you're ever unsure about approving or rejecting some submission, leave a comment in the submission's Private Discussion area, either to ask for an input or to justify your choice.
If you're found repeatedly abusing of your power or continuously ignoring the group's rules, your contributor status will be revoked.
Acts that will lead to your contributor status revoked include:
abuse of your ability to post in the gallery without prior voting to post stuff that clearly breaks the rules;
repeated rejection of legal submissions without providing a reason;
repeated approval of submissions that blatantly break the rules;
withdrawing submissions that are waiting for the artist's approval to be included in the gallery without providing a reason. If you think they'll never get approved, ignore them and let them expire by themselves, if you really think they should be withdrawn, then comment on the submission private area stating WHY you're withdrawing them;
Please note that it's not like you can't make mistakes. Those things are quite flexible and evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Just be aware that if you continuously abuse of your position and you never give an explanation of your acts, your status will be revoked. In case you get demoted and you think it was an unfair decision, feel free to note the group and tell your reasons.
If you have further questions feel free to comment here or send a note to the club!
