This is a list of frequently asked questions. If you have a question that is not answered here, feel free to leave a comment on this journal!
What is an "adoptable"?Adoptables are character designs that people buy, sell, and trade. Many companies hire artists to design characters to be their mascots. DeviantART's userbase does similar transactions, like posting designs up for sale that other users buy. (Prices have been noted to range anywhere from 1
to $1000+!). This is why there are so many adoptable related groups on deviantArt; character designers need publicity!Can I advertise on the front page?Nope! This is considered spam. Do not do this. It will be hidden and possibly reported.
Can I join?Of course! Go to our front page and click "Join" at the top. Once you've sent your request, it will be automatically approved.
I don't know what folder to submit my adoptables to!Here is a full list of our folders! adoptionclub.deviantart.com/jo…
What should I do if I see someone selling stolen adoptables?Do not harass or publicly shame them! Near the bottom of every deviation, there is a button that reads "Report Deviation". Click "Permission Issues" and enter the information requested.
For more info on reporting deviations read the official deviantArt FAQ Page here: FAQ #155: How do I report a deviation which I think breaks the rules?
You may let us know if the stolen adoptable is up in our group by sending us a note, and we will take it down.
My deviation was declined and I don't think it should have been.You can ask us why on the submission page (there will be a comment box to the right). If you still think this was an incorrect decision, contact the group through a note.
Why do you feature people's pages?We only do this sometimes; when we need points to keep the group Super. ALL points from being featured are used for this purpose. Our features are currently closed.
Who are your mascots?Currently we have three, but we are working on replacing them with just one! We'll keep you posted.
My submission hasn't been accepted or declined and it's been a long time! What's going on?We get many submissions per day, sometimes 200-300+. No matter how many contributors we have, it is sometimes difficult to approve all of these in a timely manner!
If your submission has expired due to not being accepted or declined, please feel free to re-submit!
Recent inactivity and resubmissions
Hi all! The last 3-4 months have been a little wonky in the group, huh?
I'd like to personally apologize. I had a difficult life situation come up and I disappeared for that time.
I am back however, and wanted to say that the group will soon be back on track. However, to make this easier for our current contributors, I had to delete all of the old and recent submissions to our group. Therefore, while normally discouraged, for this situation, I encourage anyone who has recently submitted an adoptable to go ahead and resubmit to us. We had over 1000 submissions we were attempting to go through prior, with all of them gone it will be easier to
We Need More Contributors! (closed)
7/29/20; Contributor applications are being reopened! If you were not accepted the last round, you are encouraged to resubmit the application in case you were missed!
What do contributors do?
The main role of contributors is to approve and decline submissions. These come into your inbox, and you have the option to accept or decline them. Secondary roles are removing closed adopts as well as relocating any that are in the wrong folders. If you are interested in becoming a contributor, you NEED to have a general grasp of our rules and folder descriptions. It is also very important that you read through the section on our quality standard (on t
Reminder!!
Submission Reminders!
I'd like to remind our members of a few things, since there has been a big increase in submissions that are being rejected. These are the most common reasons I've seen:
---------------------------------------------------------
1.Anything that looks human-ish, if it walks on two feet and has ANY human-like characteristics, it belongs in "Humanoid, Gijinka, Anthro, Kemonomimi". So even if it is an anthro based off a cat, it goes to this folder, NOT to "Feline -Cats-".
2. We do NOT accept closed (or already purchased) adopts and we never have. This also goes for reference sheets of your species or individual characters -
Group Submission Rules - READ
Group Submission Rules
Update 10.17.2018: It is now mandatory to include whether or not your adopt is open or closed in the title. (Rule #3)
Please at least skim these rules before submitting to our group! We are not obligated to tell you WHY your submission was declined, all of that information is available to you here.

:thumb437447742:1. NO Maker Game Adopts OR Closed Species Rip Offs :thumb437447742:
We do not accept adoptables made in games or online creators. The reason for this being we would prefer to showcase original adopts with as much creativity as possible! In games, you are given pre-made options.
