May 9 marked our Fan Art Gallery's 5th anniversary. `CreativeJenn posted a little tribute to celebrate this happy occasion. On the same token, the Freaky Friday Fan Fiction Contest also ended. You can see the winners announcement here. And if you missed it, here's May's Fan Art DD Summary. `AwsumZ is hosting an interesting contest for custom My Little Pony fans. The details can be found in his journal. 
The amazing ^Thiefoworld has posted two great articles featuring Fan Art. The first one is called Original Fan Arts where he talks about how fanartists aren't necessarily unoriginal for expressing their love for a TV show, book or movie. It's a must read for everyone! As Thiefo says:"There are still a lot of stigmas against Fan Art, one of them being the belief that you're giving up your originality and creativity as artist by making fanart, a debate that will go on forever.
However I believe, as shown with these features, that you can still create Fan Art without compromising your creativeness and originality. Just like with any other subject, you are free to present the idea in your own way."
The second article is Feature: The Legend of Korra, showcasing a wide arrange of amazing Fan Art of the long awaited sequel to Avatar: the last Airbender. Thanks for reading! 
wow, the mods are huge thieves, i could go on but why, you all know its copyright infringement but do it anyways
so if i wanted to be a gallery mod i need to post stolen celebrity images too
that is the joke that da has become, bravo team da
as if it was stock
m aybe you should look before you speak next time
first line 'why are gallery mods allowed to post copyright infringement and use non-stock images as stock'
looks like a question to me, if you can not comprehend then why did you reply
you may want to explain that its theft and takes no talent to steal and post it online and as a mod they set an example to others...oh i forgot da loves thieves
is what i asked, how much more specific should i have been
If you are really worried about it, you can report them.
