April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberSee, this is the kind of OC that everyone finds obnoxious: The one that tries to push itself into a serious plot or relationship with the main cast, or just acts like a spoiled brat. There's potential for a good story there, but more often than not it just devolves into a poorly written self-insert messing with established relationships in a manner that brings shame to the original writing; the exact opposite of what it's trying to do.
I like the art, it's actually quite good. But as a guy who's been writing fanfics for over a decade I can't help but be reminded of everyone who makes people like me look bad... I'm not saying I'm a master writer, far from it. But I can at least tell a good idea from a bad one.
And it doesn't help that NTR is getting such a deservedly bad rep lately. >_>

MemberGuess the artist didn't consider the fact that what s/he was about to draw might upset people or bring shame to the source material, how inconsiderate.

MemberI can see some potential for a fanfic involving a OC breaking into a established platonic relationship like that of Nick and Judy. Character growth, some drama and jealousy to spice things up, maybe a criminal case as sidequest, meaningful lessons on feelings and adult relationships as conclusion for the story. The good art is there, all is left is a good writing.

MemberAs a fellow fanfiction writer I agree.
A few great artist I've seen on this have made comics that, while looking good, are very poor in terms of storytelling. Being an artist and being a comic writer are never the same thing. Different parables are present.
