Guidelines for Submitting Furry CDA Protest Cartoons

As part of Tigerden's continuing effort to raise the consciousness of the public, and especially of the furry community, we are hosting a series of political cartoons featuring furries in protest against the CDA.

If the censorship and trampling of the First Amendment embodied in the CDA makes you angry, put your feelings into a picture.

Basic guidelines:

• 1. The subject should relate directly to the CDA or censorship issues related to it. It should also, of course, feature furries.

• 2. Your cartoon should be 'in good taste'. Please, no spooge or blatant sexuality. We want to *promote* our cause, not defeat it. Likewise, the law *is* the law right now, and despite the fact we want to protest, I'm not trying to martyr myself here.

• 3. If you want credit for your art, be sure to include your sig or logo in the picture. I'll try to include proper credit on the index line, but you must indicate how you want it to appear. Likewise, if you want to remain anonymous, let me know that as well. See the existing list for what an entry for your picture would look like.

• 4. Your picture will be viewed by many more than just furries. Some may download and repost it elsewhere. Submit only if you have no objection to this. I can't account for where the pictures go, or what use they are put to.

• 5. Pictures must be submitted in electronic form. Right now, I've no scanning capability, so original paper copies are no help. Puma has graciously offered to provide scanning for those who need it. He may be contacted by page #mail on FurryMUCK or e-mail at puma@netcom.com.

• 6. Pictures should be scanned into gif or jpg format, limiting file size to a maximum of 40k bytes (much smaller if possible). Our server has limited disk space, and a relatively slow modem connection so we can't accept large files.

• 7. Submit pictures as a UUencoded file, or MIME attachment to an e-mail message to tigerwolf@tigerden.com In the text of your message include the following:
  • Title you want for the picture on the index if different from the file name.
  • Your permission to post the work and your understanding that we are not responsible for subsequent use by others who may download it.
  • The name you'd like to see listed as the artist on the index entry.

• 8. I will be the final judge whether your work is posted. It may be omitted for technical or artistic reasons (see above). I don't wish to start any debate on whether or not *this* is censorship. Consider it the same as submitting your comment to the editorial page of a paper. Not everything is selected for print for *lots* of reasons.

I'll do what I can to acknowledge your contribution and get your picture onto the page in a timely way. However, I'm up to my ears with this issue already, so try to be understanding as we proceed. If you have further questions or comments e-mail me at tigerwolf@tigerden.com.
