    ]]>    87Sat, 22 Apr 2017 20:51:03 +0000    What can be posted in the GA Gallery?https://gayauthors.org/help/apps/what-can-be-posted-in-the-ga-gallery-r47/ Gay Author's Gallery hosts a variety of member photos or images needed for story content; images uploaded by members should contain varied subject matter to avoid repetitious content. We would suggest everyone keep this in mind before posting multiple pictures at the same time. Have a lot of similar photos or non-copyright story character inspiration images to share? Try combining them into a collage first before uploading. See linked Collage topic below. If you need to post more than a few images, please consult a Site Moderator first.

    • Members can upload images of themselves, places, pets, story material, etc.
    • If posting pictures of others, please make sure you have permission to post the pictures. 
    • Only post pictures that you own the copyright for. 
    • At no time is it allowed to post anything containing nudity; this includes artwork. 
    • Gallery images containing strategically covered nudity (eg: arms and legs covering genitals or breasts), sheer or see-through clothing, lewd or provocative poses, close-ups of breasts (women), buttocks, or crotches, and partially clothed underage persons (below 18 years of age) will be removed.
