Rules

Below are my rules. Please take a look at them and follow them. I currently don't have a strike system but if rules are continually broken, I may have to. Thank you for taking the time to look them over. <3 I don't want to be a jerk, but I want to keep everything fair and easy for all involved. :) Thanks!

- Use the form provided to request. If you are doing a PTB or Gallery request, after payment is received I will e-mail you a form for you to fill out for the requests. Using the form really makes everything so much easier for me and prevents me from having to ask you to provide more information for the request.

- Don't ruin my work. If something is wrong with your request or you'd like something changed, please just ask me to fix it. Or if you'd like the original pixel please just ask me. I don't mind sharing it with you. However I do mind my hard work being ripped apart.

- You must credit my work. I work hard on these and they are usually free for you. If you don't credit me for my work or you claim credit for it, we will have a problem. Keep my name as the file name of the blinkie. This way you always know that I made it. You can also make a special folder in your pictures for blinkies made by me. 

-  Don't hotlink or steal. Save your blinkie to your own files and server. Hotlinking prevents all of my photos from showing up and that creates problems for several others. Don't take a blinkie unless it was made for you. Feel free to send me a message saying you saw one with your name on it and you really like it. Ask me if I'd mind you using it. Most of the time I won't. So just ask me!

- Use your manners. It's something we all should have learned by the age of three. Asking if you may request, please and thank you truly go a long way. If you don't use your manners I will NOT fulfill your request. If I can take the time to make it for you, you can take the extra five seconds to use your manners.

- You must label your requests in the community. If you're making a request in the community, you must number your request in the subject line or put LOVED or MAKER. I'm not being flexible on this any longer. It creates a lot of worry as to whether or not the requests have been used up or not and then some won't request at all. It takes one second of your time to put it in there. If it's not in the subject - your request won't be fulfilled. I really hate to be a stickler about this, but it's needed for organizational purposes.

- Don't be a request hog. I truly am so thankful and happy that all of you like my work! However, please don't be a request hog. I have a LOVED list for those who would like to get every offer. If you requested the last offer, please sit the next one out so others can get a chance OR you are more than welcome to purchased a LOVED list pass so you never miss out on an offer again.

- Requesting other names than your own. I do not mind if you request a blinkie for your children or other family members. If they are the ones going to be using it, please let them know how to credit. Please know that all community offers are one request per member so if you wanted one for you and one for your spouse, you'd have to purchase the extra or have them join and request. I do not take requests for others if it is to advertise someone elses community with community offers. You may however contact me and we could work out a deal if you'd like to purchase one. Credit would still be required, though.

- Names. If the name you're asking to be put into the boxes is too short, I may add blank boxes or hearts. And if it's too long I may ask you to provide a nickname instead. Using blanks, underscores & hearts will be used at my discretion. Do NOT request any additional symbols for freebies.

- Pickups. Your blinkies must be picked up within 2 weeks. If you request it, you should know that within a few days it will be completed. Not watching the community is not an excuse. However, I do know that things come up or what have you, so I can be flexible on this as long as it's not a regular thing.You may NOT request anything unless all your previous requests have been picked up. Not sure? Click the pickup tag and take a look. We have tags for this very reason.

FAQ

Q. What is a LOVED List Pass?

A. A LOVED List Pass is something for the community that will allow you to request every offer and not miss any due to spots running out. The prices are very affordable.

Q. What is a PTB?

A. PTB stands for Pixel to Blinkie. So let's say you run across an adorable pixel of a cat that looks just like your childhood pet and you'd love a blinkie to be made out of it. All you have to do is purchase a PTB from me and then fill out the form I send to you. There you will be able to link me to the pixel (from your own photobucket/etc account), tell me what you'd like the name to be in the boxes, let me know if you'd like text underneath and if you'd like a certain color scheme. You will be able to completely customize it!

Q. What is a Gallery Request?

A. It's where you take a look at my gallery and pick a blinkie you'd like made for you from the examples. Once payment is received you fill out the form telling me which blinkie you'd like made, what name in the boxes and if you'd like text underneath.
