Fan Art and Fan Work Policy

Notes about using the art tag:

  1. Any fan art using the #YuriKissart tag may be added to the gallery, and by using the tag you are consenting to it.
  2. Using the #YuriKissart tag does not guarantee that it will be added to the gallery or that we’ll even see it.
  3. Our frequented socials are Bluesky, Twitter, and Tumblr, you are free to upload your fan art anywhere else but we are less likely to see it.
  4. Fan works, whether they include the art tag or not, may be used by Yuri Kissaten but not in a way that is directly monetized (e.g we may share your fan art in a blog post, but we won’t make merch with your artwork).

If you are a creator and want an opportunity to collaborate with us in merch production send us an e-mail with details on what you intend to sell and examples of your previous creations with the subject “Merch collaboration”.

These guidelines are not likely to apply to every situation and are subject to change, if you think there’s something else that needs to be cleared you can send us an e-mail asking with the subject “Policy question”, depending on the question we may not respond, we may respond, and/or we may update the policy accordingly.
