Correct Categories

Hi guys

I just wanted to make sure everyone understood that up-loads do need to go into the correct categories. It saves us all trawling through hundreds of pictures and swapping them around!

Remember, we want to accept all pictures, and we love your up-loads, but sometimes we end up being forced to say 'no' to them because they've been put in the wrong place.

We have a lot of different categories, so I know it can be difficult.

Generally most are self explanatory but I'll go through them

Featured:
Featured is for our very best work and typically we select what goes in there from other categories. Feel free to submit your pics there, but it's our most competitive category! The pics in there have to be of the best quality and with a lot of effort put into them. For featured we can't have anything that's not been fully drawn properly, that's messy or that's a photograph of a picture. It's our strictest category because it has to be our very best work only.

Bubbles Fan Art:
This is for any picture of Bubbles, be it from the American series or your own version of Bubbles. It is for Bubbles alone, not any pairings or group pictures.

Miyako:
This is for the Japanese style of Bubbles (from PPGZ) or your own version of a manga-Bubbles. Again, this is really just for Miyako, not lots of characters.

Group Pictures:
Self explanatory really! You can have a host of characters on these pics. We would prefer Bubbles to be a main character in the picture (not just in the background somewhere) but we're not very strict. The group pictures can contain any other character, even ones not from the series. It can also star any kind of Bubbles, American, Japanese, or your own version.

Pairings:
Our most popular category
Pairings  is for any romantic picture of Bubbles with another character(s).

Fanfiction:
This is for our authors and poets. Any written work (poetry, prose, plays etc) starring Bubbles can be in here.

Cosplay:
This is for all cosplay. It can star groups of characters inc. Bubbles, or just Bubbles.

Contest Winners:
Again, only the founder and co-founder put pics into this category, as it's usually the winners of our own contests that get a starring role in this category.

Valentine’s Day Contest:
The next contest for Valentines will be next year. Nothing needs to be added into there now, it can just go into the pairings category.

Early Contest entries:
This is a category we don't use too often. It's just somewhere to load your submissions during a contest unless told to submit elsewhere. There are no contests on at the moment, so nothing new should be in there.

Club ID:
This is the place where we choose what our stamp is going to be. We already have one that we're happy with. We don't need any more and so nothing should be getting submitted into that category either.

Other Bubbles Stuff:
This is typically for the weirder submissions that don't belong anywhere else. So for example, cakes made in the Bubbles shape, or lego-Bubbles etc. We have a lot of categories, so there shouldn't be too many pics in this folder.

Easter Contest:
See Valentine’s Day Contest ^^

Comics:
This is a new category for all mangas and comics people have done starring Bubbles.

Blues:
This is for the specific pairing of Bubbles and Boomer. These are the only two that should be in this category and they should be together. It doesn't matter which version of Bubbles you use, Miyako, Bubbles or your own version.

Butchubbles:
As the previous entry but with Butch and Bubbles.

Brickubbles:
As above but with Brick and Bubbles.

Hibbles:
As above but starring HIM and Bubbles.

All I ask is, if your pairing picture has any nudity, shows adult situations (i.e. lying in bed apparently clothes-less), or any character in skimpy outfits or showing off their underwear, please realise that we have some young followers on this site, so please, please put up a warning (appropriate for what the picture or fanfic is) before you upload. Anything that can be deemed pornographic in nature must be labelled and hidden from younger audiences lest we all get into a lot of trouble.

Other:
Other is for any picture of any pairing, groups or weirdness that you couldn't put elsewhere. So again pictures like '300 page views' and then a play-doh ensemble of Bubbles and a host of other cartoon characters. But again, this category shouldn't be used too much as we have a lot of places to put submissions.

Remember guys that it only takes an extra minute to think about where your submission belongs and to put it in the right place. If in doubt, there are two 'Other' categories where you can submit your work.

Thank you and have a lovely weekend.
