Do you even know what the "ZADR" stands for?

Well, listen clearly....

IT STANDS FOR ZIM AND DIB ROMANCE!!!

That means male/male alien interaction. So if you don't like it, I invite you to close this window and forget you've ever seen it.

However, if you DO like it, I invite you to join.... This is a good place to find united pics of these two together ^_^

THE BASICS OF JOINING

Study these rules below. When you think you've got it, send a note titled: "Quiz Me!" and you will then be given a quiz on the rules to make sure you understood them. Good luck! ^_^

++++++++++++++++

RULES:

1 ) DA Verifiable Consent Required

Whether or not you plan to draw any zadr, we need your 'written' permission to upload your work at the club. We give you the format it needs to be in once you pass the quiz and you'll be sending it to us in a note.

We talked in the chatroom with some mods (how can DA be so crappy when they have such cool mods?) and they mentioned it would be good for us to have written permission as back up with any problems DA might start or if someone tries to accuse us of art theft.

You NEED to do all this to join the club. All this is to further protect our community of the slightest chance of banning and/or deleting, understood?

2 ) Flaming (to flame or be flamed)

No flaming. Not here or at another Deviant's page. If you have something rude to share - be that either against slashers or anti-slashers - keep it to your own page. If you don't, you could be reported for harassment. We have a "3-strikes, you're out!" type discipline for it. If someone reports you to us, we'll give you an initial warning. If you do it again, you get a last warning. The third time you're out of the club.

Also, if someone from this club or the anti-club flames YOU, send us a link to their rude comment and add the person to your ignore list (so they can't flame you anymore) and we'll handle it. If you don't know how to add someone to your ignore list, here's how you do it:

a. Go to 'Edit Settings and Profile' (it's on that list on the right of your main page)
b. Click the 'User Page Display' tab
c. Scroll down to the box labeled 'Blocked Users' and enter the person's name in the box.
d. Click 'OK' (button on the bottom right)

3 ) Pornography

We made a separate site for stuff that's too sexually explicit: The ZADR Pr0n Yahoo Group!

As long as you have a Yahoo account, you can upload your work there! Let us know when you do so we can alert the rest of the club about it ^_^

4 ) Submitting

People sometimes ask:

Q: "How do I submit my art to your gallery?"

A: "Send the link to the club in a note."

For those of you who are more advanced in you DA membership, you know there's a button that lets you 'Share' your deviation by sending it as a thumbnail, right? If you know how to do that, please do ^_^

5 ) Fancharacters

We know we all have fan characters, It's nearly impossible not to, but please, this is a club for the ZIM and DIB, so unless your Original Characters are there just to force/make/cheer something related to ZADR, we can't put your artwork here.

6 ) Dual Membership

You cannot be a member of the *anti-zadr-club if you want to be a member of the *Z-A-D-R club. I know, DUH, right? But it happens...

7 ) Scrappings

I know it took you hours to make. I know you put tears blood and sweat in making it, but here is the list of guidelines that club will be using to determine whether a deviation belongs in the scrap gallery, or the actual gallery.

a. Exceptionally blurry or sketchy images will be scrapped. Images with construction lines, partially completed images, and other signs of an image that looks like it is still in its conception stage will be scrapped.

b. Black and white images are not automatically defined as scraps. Inked and pencil shaded images are acceptable, provided that they are completed and not too light.

c. Plain line art is acceptable for gallery inclusion, but if a colored image using that line art is submitted, the original line art will be scrapped.

d. Images on lined paper will be defined as scraps, unless the lines do not detract from the image.

e. Images lacking a background are not automatically defined as scraps. Many artists are not very talented at backgrounds, and there are many well done images of just the characters.

f. Poorly colored images will be scrapped. By poorly colored, we are referring to images that contain one, some, or all of the following:
*Incomplete coloring. (significant potions of skin or hair are not colored, one eye not colored, etc.)
*"MSPaint lines" that are overly distracting to the viewer and in turn significantly detract from the image. "MSPaint lines" refer to what happens when the fill tool does not completely fill an area and you are left with empty spots and/or a "white border" between the edge of the fill and the outline of your image. (We understand that sometimes the artist meant for those to be there, and we do our best to determine what is artistic usage and what is a poor coloring job.)

g. No exceptionally bright images. There are such things as "too colorful/loud" and "too bright". If the images makes the eyes of the viewer hurt/water/bleed, then it will be scrapped.

h. Images should be cropped and cleaned decently. By cleaned, we mean having used some program to remove scanner dirt and correct any contrast/brightness issues. Please note: If you do not know how to crop or clean your image, please let us know, and we will be happy to point you to a tutorial.

i. Images should not be excessively large. We understand that there is a difference between a large image and an image that wasn't properly resized after scanning and cropping and we will be able to tell the difference between the two. If full-viewing the image requires excessive use of both the vertical and horizontal scrollbars in order to see the whole thing, then it is too large.

j. Absolutely no tracings or altered character screenshots. This includes using screenshots for animated images (like flash movies). These are DevArt policy violations, and we don't want to get in trouble. Generic background images are to be used sparingly and you must give credit to the artist/company that owns the rights to them.

*Hint: If you don't know what a screenshot is, it's a scene taken from a TV show/Movie. An "altered" screenshot would be one where you write on/scribble on it. Like this one:
[link]

A few notes: Scrapping will not be based on artistic ability. Instead, it will be based solely on the above mentioned factors.

If you feel that your piece has been unfairly scrapped, please note the club with your concerns.

8 ) What is ZADR?

All submissions must have at least a hint of ZADR qualities, even if from a ZADR fanfic. When one looks at the submission one should be able to tell fairly easily that they are somehow interacting in a fashion consistent with them being romantically involved. (even if it is sensual in a violent fashion.) Basically, don't make it look like you drew Zim and Dib separately and then just copy/pasted them on the same page and call it ZADR. Also, 'guro' art (Sado/masochism in extreme forms, i.e. maiming, mangling, mutilation) will NOT be accepted in this club.

9 ) Request for the members

This is a request, not an order. Please put the club's icon in the artist comments of your ZADR art, that way people who devwatch you will know it was done for us, think "My, what a lovely icon" and click on it, thus giving us more pageviews and chances to get new recruits <3

10 ) PLEASE FAVE THE ORIGINALS

Please please please PLEASE! We know it's a hassle but we're not trying to be mean. We just think it's unfair. The artists submit their art to the club to make it and themselves known. When people fave the club's submissions, it gives credit to us, when all we did was put it on display.

We ask everyone to fave at the artists' deviation, because they deserve the praise and recognition. The club goes through the trouble of setting up the links in the artist comments so we appreciate if you do your part too ^_^

P.S. the only time you're allowed to fave a club version is if the title starts with a dollar sign "$"

11 ) Using Art Found In The Club's Gallery

The art displayed in the ZADR Club's gallery is NOT drawn by the club. Obviously, right? It's drawn by the club's members. This means that if you have an icon, avatar, ID, AMV or whatever that you want to make and you want to make it using drawings you found in the club gallery, you have to have permission to use them first. NOT permission from the club, but from the club ARTISTS that drew the drawing. If you use art without an artist's permission, it's called 'art theft.' Many artists take themselves and their art very seriously. Please make sure you get their permission for such projects beforehand.

12 ) Know Your Mods and What they Do!
