Does anybody know if fanwolves (or wolves that are themed around a specific character from a fandom- I'm using an edited version of a term from another site) are allowed here?

Ooo, interesting question. Typically, dressing and naming or writing lore/doing art for "fanwolves" is totally fine. The picky part is when it comes to adding potentially copywritten material to the site via a Custom Apparel. Even then, LW wholly supports "loosely inspired" CAs. Neat! That is the only place I could find rules, which I'll share:
No Copyrighted Material
Copyrighted material or references to such is not allowed. Tracing over imagery that is not owned by you is not allowed.
Submitting copyrighted material will now incur a penalty upon the
submissioner's account as well as the item being removed/edited. This is to protect Lorwolf from liability, so support us by not submitting these types of items. Thank you.
Accepted Examples:
Significantly changed or loosely inspired CA
Original designs
Incorporating
multiple sources/references to create something new. For example, you
can mix elements from different artworks, use different styles or
techniques, or incorporate your own personal touches. Such as finding a
purse shape you like, the stitching technique from a table cloth, the
colour scheme of a pastel milk box all with edits and adding your own
style to make it unique and fitting to your new item.
Not Allowed Examples:
Fan apparel of copyrighted characters and other media
Directly copying from other artists or other games
Items split up deliberately to avoid detection of copyrighted material
Alright! Anyways, excuse me while I start up a witch-hunt for some fanwolves I want to do, since I know that they themselves are okay and it's just (non-loosely inspired) CAs that aren't
