I just need a quick answer on this:
If I submit my doujin for an existing fandom, will it still fall under fanart?

Goood question. Part of me says yes but the other part says it'd be better in the comics gallery seeing as it's a sequential piece of art (I take it you'll submit more than one page?). If it's just a short, one page comic, then it can go in fanart.

Thanks for adding a gallery for fractals :D
Just one thing, um, I'm unable to find the option to contribute to it? Is it just taking a while to appear, must I submit to digital and it will be placed there, or am I just blind and missing it?

Hi guys! Looking for someone to draw maps for a novel I just completed. Please drop me a line if you can do maps (a world map and around 3 city maps), or if you know someone who can. Thanx in advance!
