Q. How can I join?
A. No need to ask, if you’re a fan of Gravity Falls just hit the join button at the top! We’re happy to have you!

Q. My piece was rejected, but seems to meet all the guidelines – why?
A. It could be a simple mistake on our part or that there was a guideline overlooked when it was submitted. For a full answer, feel free to contact the group and we’ll happily investigate.

Q. I was changed from “Contributor” to “Member”, what happened?
A. With the changing of the group came a lot of changes to the internal structure to help the group run more smoothly. Don’t take offense to this! It wasn’t meant to offend. It’s a simple restructure. In order to have the group run well, we’ve taken the time to reorganize quite a few things. One of these changes being the member roles.
Contributors are now an essential role within the group. Their job is to seek out and submit at least three excellent piece of Gravity Falls work (be it visual or literary art) per month to the group. Members that were removed from this particular group have not contributed within the past year. If you are currently a member and wish to remain as one, please remember to be active within the group.

Q. How do I become a Contributor/Administrator/Co-Founder/Moderator?
A. To become part of the staff with GravityFalls-FC you'll need to be active in the group, show that you can be a team player, contribute to the group (via artwork, suggesting favorites, suggesting features, responding to journals, talking with other members, etc) and simply following the rules. This could easily get you promoted to "Contributor". If you'd like one of the other positions, we'll post a journal as they become available.

Q. I’d like a submission of mine to be moved/removed. What steps do I take?
Updated:
"People can take an artwork out from the group alone: go on the page dedicated only to the artwork, go in the section of the groups (right side on the computer version, under the i on the mobile one) and click near a group name,the option "remove from this group" should appear ,just click on it and you delete the submission."
Thank you,

for help with clarification here!

Q. I have an issue with something that’s been uploaded to the group. What do I do?
A. Contact our group via note, please. We’ll be more than happy to try to resolve the issue.

Q. What are the guidelines for artwork in the Featured folder?
A. The "Featured" folder is now being used to show off the work that is featured in our journals on a weekly basis. If you have a suggestion for the "Featured" folder, please send a note to the group with the title "Feature Suggestion". Once we receive the note, the current staff will vote on if the piece will or will not be added to the folder. The requirements are that the piece must;

1. Have been submitted within the week prior. (We go Monday to Monday)
2. Be a fully finished piece with color.
3. Be an exemplary example of the artwork in representation of this group in either concept or execution.

Q. Why is it taking so long for my Fan Fiction to be approved?
A. Because we take the time to read them. On the bright side, you can rest assured that we're actually reading through your fan fiction. It does take a little additional time to appreciate the written word vs. a piece of visual art though.
I should mention that we do read the fan fiction you're submitting. So if you're submitting something against the site's ToS, we will be reporting you.
