Following are specifics of what is and is not allowed:

Go ahead and:
- download images to your computer for personal enjoyment
- print images for your own enjoyment
- link to the index page of this site, using one of the buttons provided or a text link

Please ask if you want to:
- use an image on your webpage or in your gallery.  I request that the image be unaltered with the copyright notice left intact, and that there be a link back to my index page on the page where the image is used.  
- use an image in any print publication, including local fan club publications  (a bonus: I can also provide a higher-quality file for print purposes, when authorized!)
- post online any fanart, fanfiction, etc. based on the characters herein. (I could only hope!)

Do NOT, under any circumstances:
- link directly to images on my server.  Once you have permission to use my images, please download them to your own server instead of stealing my bandwidth.
- alter the images in any way, particularly to remove the copyright notice on them.
- attempt to claim these works as your own, or the work of some other artist
- print multiple copies of images for distribution 
- use images as mentioned above without asking permission or following my simple and reasonable requirements - my permission isn't that hard to get!
- make derivative works based on my artwork or characters.  I don't mind fanart or fanfiction, as long as it acknowledges the original creator, but copying without credit is plagiarism! 

Violators will be requested to remove their violation from circulation, first pleasantly, then not-so-pleasantly, then via their ISP if the violation continues.
