Fan Works: If Graphic, Ask Please · 5:55pm Mar 29th, 2015
Elaborating on something I've said a few times in the past. Now, I adore you readers and I love seeing how creative you guys and gals can be with the images or ideas me and my co-creators have come up with. It amazes me every time, no matter how skilled the artist may or may not think they are. I love seeing what you lot can do.
That said, for some stuff I really would like to be altered about first. Namely, sexual or very graphic images. I can't stop these sort of things from being created, but if you really do like the story I would at least be able to be asked first just to make sure it flies ok. In addition to The Bridge being a T-rated story. It's far from sunshine and rainbows at all times, or even most times. But, I try to keep the graphic content reigned in enough that it won't be unapproachable by a younger reader. It's PG-13 at worst, and even then I still try to stay true to example most mature kaiju films set and not overdo it to the point its overly graphic (notice how the super graphic scenes are almost never illustrated?). And I'd really rather not some kid reading it stumble upon something tooooo mature if I can help it. In addition, I like be altered so I can showcase you guys and gals great works in the reader work's sections!
So when it comes down to permission, it basically comes down to how mature the content might be. For something like this
or this
or this
Absolutely fine, no need to ask. Go right ahead
This however...

Let's see... one of my and my girlfriend's most beloved sorta-creations is getting cut to ribbons by someone's OC who shows no signs of damage from Junior nor Luna's 'pitiful' attempts to fight back... Oooooooooooooh wasn't this a joy to find in my inbox? Now understand, I don't necessarily mind graphic content; but PLEASE ask first so I can maybe give it a yay or nay.
On a maturity level, this isn't that bad at all. What isn't too agreeable for me is how it's shown. Junior is getting slash to bits by a foe that is clearly unharmed. If I didn't know the guy, I'd almost think this was by one of those 36 people who down voted me and not one of the 734 who upvoted; and that they were bashing my story. If Delta (the OC) was similarly damaged, showing a fairly even fight, I'd be a lot less miffed. I maybe wouldn't put it in the next Reader Creations section if it was a lot more graphic, but I would definitely show my approval and be very grateful for it.
So for the sake of the youngins' and a bit of respect for the things Faith, Skylark, and I worked long and hard to make; if yo think the content is a bit mature just ask first please.
PS: DO NOT report the last image or it's artist. She did not know someone else other than IceStormy owned the character design, nor that I like being asked first about things like this. I asked her about it and honestly didn't know I or Faith-Wolff existed.
PSS: DO NOT REPORT CrashXSpyro, she's a very nice gal and I don't want any harm coming to her account.
Huh... I thought that was MechaGodzilla...
AND WHO DARES MESS WITH BLADEZILLA OTP?!?

Sadly, it's IceStormy's OC 'Delta'
that oc is what i imagine kiryu would look if ponyfied. although maybe a bit more metal would be required.
