FAAFN is a guild of volunteer artists dedicated to welcoming Aspiring Gaian Newbies with free art. (Usually avatar art! ^_^ )

Artists / Donors can become members. Newbies who would like art are welcome to come and post; they require no membership. This is a public forum. You can do that here. ^_^

About Requesting to join:
First thing to note is that we all have lives outside of Gaia, so don't be suprised if it takes a while to have your request approved or denied (Which is why it's taken me a while to sort through the latest batch of requests.... ).

Another thing is that while a person may have been denied from joining, it doesn't mean that they're not welcome here. The FAAFN is open to all, and we enjoy having many people around. If you have been denied membership, most likely it has something to do with the reason as to why you want to join. A person who says "i like art" or "i am new" is not likely to be accepted. While we all like art, and we were all new once, you should at least try and be interesting or original. A person who says "I am a new person to Gaia, and I would like to get to know people. I like to draw, and I think avatar art is cool" is more likely to be accepted. Their reason is pretty much the same as the other two examples, but they're polite and put more thought into it than the others.

But other than that, have fun ^_^
