Unfortunately, I've been absent for a very very very long time. For that, I apologize profusely. This might be too much information, I'm not very sure, but, hey guys guess what!? I'm going to be a mommy in a few months xD I found out at the end of July, and at that time I was already 3 weeks along. Meaning that for the better part of July and late June, I was sick to my stomach constantly and in bed, not even knowing why. As for the months before that, I have absolutely no excuse >A< So again, I'm very very very sorry. I will be taking the time to answer all the notes, so I will beg on my knees for people that haven't sent in one yet to hold them in for a little while. I will also be answering any questions here as well as doing a sweep from the people that have left the group. All I ask- without much right to- is a little patience! Thank you!

Also!!! In a few days, I will be holding in some 'interviews' for a co-founder. I'm kind of alone in dealing with this group- hence the lack of management- and I really need the help.

**News**
Once again, I must deeply apologize for not attending the notes like I said I was going to! ;A; [slaps herself with the leaning tower of Pisa] But I am getting to them now, fret not!

I'm sorry that I haven't been accepting the notes. I just started my second semester in college, and it's been far busier than I thought it would be. I will be getting to most, if not all, the notes tomorrow. Thank you~

Adopting A Yaoi Pairing
To adopt a YAOI pairing (Male/Male only, please) please send the group a NOTE, not a comment, stating which pairing you would care to adopt, and which fandom it belongs to. (e.g., I would like to adopt Renji/Byakuya from Bleach) Wait for a response, and there you go.

ANY yaoi pairing or fandom (Anime/Manga, Game, Book, CARTOON, TELEVISION, etc.)!! Even the little OVA's. Crack pairings, canon pairings, or just plain senseless pairings... Have at it! BUT, one may only adopt a pairing once; if the pairing you had in mind is taken, choose another, or INVENT one! (Thank you to *Luffy-Kun for suggesting a cartoon yaoi pairing, making that one of the categories)

You must be a MEMBER, not just a watcher, of this group to adopt a yaoi pairing. Come on, it isn't that much to ask, right?

Upon receiving a response to your note, I nicely ask that you put this phrase into your signature:

I adopted ___insert_pairing_here___ from #AdoptAYaoiPairing ( :dev/AdoptAYaoiPairing: remove the '/' to create the link in your signature)

Once you have done these things, you are welcome to freely draw your couple together, write Fan Fiction, or whatever else!

One adoption per member only.

Do NOT write in your signature that you adopted a couple from here BEFORE receiving a response to your NOTE. You will NOT receive the couple.


Submission (Gallery) Rules
To submit an artwork of your couple to this group, please go to the ACCORDING folder and click 'Contribute.' We actually have three folders: Couples FanArt, Couples Fan Fiction, and Memes. If you have a Fan Fiction, where does it go? NOT the Fan Art folder, okay? If you have any doubt/question about something, leave a comment on the front page and I'll have a look-see at it for you!

No submissions to 'Featured' are permitted; this folder is for contest winners or special group-related work.

If you are officially a member of the group and have adopted a pairing, PLEASE submit any art/literature you have of this couple already, if you would like. It would be great to see some more work in there!

Every six months *RedAstharoche will make an activity check. This could cause people to lose their pairings if they haven't submitted anything. On the other hand, this can be easily avoided by submitting a favorite to the group.

Submission (Favorites) Rules
Feel free to suggest a Deviation to favorites! It doesn't matter which couple, if it is yours or not.

Please, again, suggest faves to the correct folder: Fan Art and Literature.

Joining
All requests go straight through! No message is required. Just click the 'Join' button, and then send your adoption note!

Affiliation
If you have any groups and would be willing to affiliate them with this one, feel more than free to send a request! We'll affiliate with any willing group, I don't care what their group is; if it's a yaoi group or not.


Love,
~mrtysh

Merry Christmas to all of our members! We hope today brings happiness, joy and gifts ;D

I am currently delivering the gifts! I will be done before the 27th, hopefully. If by then, you still don't have a gift, please contact me!

Also, members can take the opportunity to thank their Santa's here as well, and tell us how much you loved it : D
