Boosting this because Andre needs help!

LRT: "I can turn your fanfic into a comic" is one of the current cold-openings being used by scammers. The images are either traced or AI gen. "Your story (story name) was really captivating. Have you considered turning it into a comic?"

look, it feels tempting to make fanfics into comics, but i'm utterly scared. especially when someone approaches me to *commission* them without even i have asked or questioned about the idea. besides i'm an artist and i can draw stuff too!

If someone contacts YOU to commission them, but they only take payment methods that offer no recourse (Zelle, Venmo, Cashapp), RUN. If they contact you on a site like DA or FA and ask you to provide your discord/ tg first? RUN. These all the hallmarks of a commission scam.

MEOWDY We are back from the holidays and our queue is open (and clear???)!!

Howdy everyone! The site is on break for the holidays. See you Jan 02! While we are on break you can read the site, post to the forums, but cannot submit to the queue.

This. "No refunds ever" is not only unenforceable, but also a major red flag. My ToS has a detailed refund policy and addresses chargebacks (basically "issuing a chargeback for completed work is a form of fraud and will be treated as such") but "no refunds" is unethical and possibly not even legal.

Scam: IvyFur/Pisces Travel Inc Bait and switch art scam with high pressure sales tactics. The client never received their finished “art” after the scammer continued to upcharge & solicit them for further services. #artistbeware #scamalert artistsbeware.info/beware/submi...
