 | 03:41 pm - Ticket approvals + Gaiaonline
Question...
How does the ticket approval thing work? When a ticket contains stuff that should be approved and stuff that shouldn't be, what's supposed to happen? Does everything in the ticket get disapproved? Or do the "OK" materials get published?
I just got a SF&F ticket disapproved because two of the pictures contained characters that should be in the FanQuarter. The third picture was kosher for SF&F. I'm just worried that because all three pictures were done for the same art contest (which I mentioned in the description), maybe a moderator thought the third picture too was FanQuarter material.
Speaking of FanQuarter, please post a working link to the moderator's dictionary? Sometimes it's not daylight-clear whether or not something's considered fanart, and it's not cool to wait for 40+ days to find out. ^_^;

A related issue -- my ticket got disapproved because two of the pictures contained characters that represented Gaiaonline avatars. I find this strange. Consider this case:
Smith has created his own universe in which he RPs with his friends. He wants to commission artists to draw his RP character, but finds that artists generally prefer to have a visual reference. Then he comes across gaiaonline.com, and discovers a solution to his problem: create an avatar that looks like his character, and have the artists draw from that!
The character exists outside of gaiaonline.com. He has nothing to do with the official Gaia plot/ the world they use in the official plot. Therefore, the resulting art is not a fanart in my opinion. Yes, the artwork will be based off the avatar, but how is that any different than a commissioner providing a picture of a Final Fantasy character and saying, "my character looks a lot like this, except change this and this and this" ? (To make things clear, I'm not talking about RP characters that exist in the Final Fantasy world)
