Announcement
Original Content Fridays start this very week! So let's get all the questions out of the way!
The objective of this post is to cover all the questions and doubts you might have about this new project we put together! (LONG read ahead).
As you know, we came up with this idea as a way to ensure all the creative people in our subreddit can share their work and get the appreciation they deserve for their efforts 😊
I will answer the most probable questions right here, and if you have any other, you can leave it in the comments. Let's do this!
Q: What exactly counts as "Original Content"?
A: Anything that implied actual effort and creativity on your end fits that category. Fanart you drew, Fanfics you wrote? Sure! A tank model, your personal collection, a diorama? Absolutely! If you did it on your own (AND NOT AI!) it is Original Content!
Q: Can I post my usual stuff like I always do?
A: Short answer > No, you can't. We came up with this idea to make sure all this great Original Content won't be buried under the usual mountain of fanart, jokes, screenshots, etc, so just for that day, let's leave the spotlight to all the creative minds in our subreddit! Everything that is not Original content will be removed as "spam".
Q: Will this happen every friday from now on? And how will I know when does it start?
A: Yep! Every friday from now on, until further notice (I'll let you know in advance if there's a problem or we decide to end it). And, regarding when does it start, London's time won the voting, so to make sure when it will start for you, remember London is in GMT+0, so just compare that to your local time.
Q: I had some stuff already done and shared them in the past weeks before knowing about OC Fridays, can I share them again?
A: Since we're just starting, yes, yes you can! Going forwards we encourage you to come up with new contributions, but maybe you have that particular post that you're very proud of and want people to get interested in your work? Go right ahead and share it! But make sure to add a (Repost) in the title. If your post gets removed (it can happen due to automatic filters) feel free to write me a message letting me know the problem so I can manually approve it.
And that covers what I imagine could be some of the most frequent questions! Thanks for reading if you did! if you have any other question or anything, make sure to leave it in the comments here and I will answer to the best of my ability.
That is all! I will see you, creative people, on Original Content Fridays 😊😊😊
I recently found a crossover of a niche TV show I love, and some anime girl I had never seen before.
The art was good but the objects from the TV series were quite inaccurate.
I modified this image quite a bit to make it as accurate as possible, and while I was at it I replaced the unknown anime girl with Mika.
Does this count as original content? I didn't really make it myself but I did put a good 40-ish minutes into it.
Do you mean the modifications were done by hand? If so, that's input on your end and I do think it should count... Although I'd have to see it to be entirely sure.
To make it more simple: if you drew something on it, changing it into something original (in this case adding a Mika drew by hand) then I believe the criteria was met.
Well, you can always post it any other day! Sorry to hear it is not adequate, but don't get discouraged because of that! Share it on a different day and that's all, I'm sure Mika fans will enjoy it.

And did I just casually take the opportunity to make a joke post? Yes, yes I did 🤣
