Adopt a Banner from DontcallmeLeeLee

Before submitting your request, please be sure to read through our guidelines below:

  • Changes to adoption banners may only be made by a Printing Paws artist.  Adoption banners displayed on our site belong to the artists who create them, and if you would like one for your story, you must request it from the artist, who will customize it to match your fic.  None of our banners may be taken and altered without permission from the Printing Paws artist.  
  • Text changes only on banners:  We are happy to customize the title, author name, and any other text on an adoption banner to match your story; however, we will not alter the images, colors, or other design elements in these banners. If you require a different image or character in your banner, please request a custom banner instead of adopting one that's already been designed.
  • Quotation limits on banners:  Please feel free to include a quotation for the banner in your request; however, keep in mind that lengthy quotations may not fit well due to space constraints and overall design quality.  Our artists will use their best judgement when determining whether a quote can be included on a banner.
  • Only certain changes may be made on Printing Paws manips. When adopting a manip, you may edit it by changing the color (from color to B&W, etc), change the size/texture, or erase a background. You may not edit the manip to change the faces, characters shown, or any other changes to the structure of the manip.
  • No duplicate banner requests: We will not fulfill requests for stories which already have a banner or for which a banner has already been requested from another artist.
  • One banner OR manip per author per month.  In order to make our pre-designed adoption graphics available to as many authors as possible, each author may request no more than one adoption banner per month.
  • Attribution (credit) is required.  Although most of our work will include the artist's signature mark, when used on any website where text can be added, please be sure to include a linked credit our site/banner maker for the design. 
    • Credit for manips: 
      • We required that credit be given as appropriate when posting an adoptable manip, even if it has been edited into a new story graphic. 
      • You may not use our manips to fulfill banner requests for an author. If an author wishes to use a Printing Paws manip, they should contact our admins directly.
  • 24-48 hour turnaround time.  Please allow us up to 48 hours to customize the text or remove the watermark on an adopted graphic to match your story. 
  • Right of refusal.  Please remember that our artists volunteer their time and talents to help fellow wolfpack lovers, but they are not obligated to do so.  We reserve the right to turn away any requests we feel we cannot adequately complete, as well as those with which we are not comfortable working. If an author requests a graphic under false pretenses, we reserve the right to request its removal. We reserve the right to request any author at any time remove one of our graphics. 
  • Authors reserve the right to remove their content from any site they wish. We ask that if this occurs, you inform us so that we may decide what to do with the graphic. If the story is pulled from the fandom, understand that the graphic may be posted for adoption.
  • If you adopt a graphic that is never posted, we reserve the right to place the graphic back in the Adoption Center.When we customize a graphic for you, the expectation is that it will be posted with a story, or as part of a photo album, or visual inspiration. We will contact you prior to posting the graphic to the adoption center, but if we repeatedly find that any author is not displaying the graphic, we reserve the right to allow someone else to adopt the piece.
