Fanwolves?

So...

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
  • Real world copyrighted items
  • Logos/Brands

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
