I was thinking, if I tend to create fanart or fanfiction of anime that I like, I want to be sure that I can reasonably share it with others. One of the gold standards of such permissive engagement is Touhou Project. Which animes do you think are closest to Touhou in that sense? Here’s a few that came to mind after some initial research, based on doujin prevalence. (also in MAL interest stack form)
Kancolle
Azur Lane
Project Sekai Movie (Hatsune Miku)
Fate/Zero
Idolmaster
Love Live
Hololive Summer 2022 (Hololive)
Kemono Friends
Madoka Magica
Revue Starlight
Is This Order a Rabbit?
Not in the stack, but I do remember Umamusume has well-defined guidelines.


Guys, help, I’m thoroughly out of the loop it seems. When did we establish guidelines and standards about fanart? Did I miss that meeting? Can I read up about that anywhere? I’ve just been drawing whatever the fuck my brain conjures up like I always have without worrying even one bit about what’s permissive - am I going to fandom jail? Can I plead ignorance if I promise to do better?
It feels to me like Gentlemen’s agreement. If a franchise have any guidelines for derivative works, it always include things like no NSFW, no crimey things, etc. Didn’t stop people from making rule 34 art. Let alone tons of NSFW AI slop.
In case you’re curious, franchise official website should have it (if they have any guidelines at all)
Should find it following links like “二次創作” and “ガイドライン”
