These rules are to be followed by regulars and newcomers alike. There are no exceptions for these rules, they are here for a reason.


G e n e r a l
  • Pride Lands no longer takes bribes! Please do not ask us about bribes, the answer will be an automatic "no." We believe bribes are unfair to those who cannot afford them, they take away the availability of regular slots and it's just unnecessary for even the person paying such a high price.
  • Listen to what the colorist of your custom has to say. It may be a question or concern that's needed to be heard to save both the colorist's time and yours.
  • Pestering a colorist about a pending custom is not recommended. While some colorists are more tolerant than others, it is still very stressful when people are constantly harassing them. On top of Gaia tasks, they have real-life situations that always come before the internet. So please, be patient.
  • Do not bug colorists about opening slots! They will open them on their own time, not yours.
  • Unless stated otherwise by colorist, haggling about price is unacceptable. Some colorists charge for their edits while some do not. Whatever the case may be, you must respect their decisions.
  • If there is something you're not happy with about the final result of your custom, question the colorist in a polite manner!
  • Most slots are first-come, first-serve. This usually works like a flatsale, where a "GO!" post will be made and requests follow. On occasion, however, a colorist might make getting a slot into a game.
  • You must send your custom trade after you have been confirmed your slot. Keep in mind that not all of the colorists will accept them right away, however.
  • Do not edit your post without notifying the colorist! If you need to make a change to your order form, post what you will be changing and be sure to edit it within the order post after the colorist has acknowledged it. Colorists are not responsible for your lack of communication.
  • Post all forms within the colorists' den.
  • Because we're all different, every colorist has their own set of rules within their journals, so be sure to read their rules as well as these.
  • Due to a new rule that has been created by the Breedables mods, people can no longer get a cosplay of a real life person without the mod's consent. This rule came about after the death of Steve Irwin. Because everyone wanted a custom of him, people were literally fighting over it. So the mods created this rule. I know it kind of sucks, but it's not our choice.

G e n e r a l
  • Taking bribes is unacceptable! If a customer is trying to bribe you in any way (pleading, whining, lying, worming, giving excuses, etc.), report said customer to a manager right away.
  • You may accept tips! However, never request or expect them from customers.
  • You may open up to five slots a month. If you wish to open more than the maximum amount, you must be completely up-to-date with growings and other customer requests.
  • If you choose not to open up custom slots, please be sure to message the mule or a manager to they can update the slot times thread.
  • Although this is not required, avoid accepting payment until the custom request is complete. We rather not have people accusing you of stealing their money when you're only taking a while to finish it up.
  • Once payment is received, be sure to send the correct percentage to Ushiyasha.
  • If you simply feel that you cannot complete or even do a certain custom, please let the customer and a manager know! We can help work out a plan to ensure that the customer gets what they wanted.
  • Once pet is completed, your form of notifying the customer is up to you. This means you can post it in your journal, the main thread, and/or the pick-up post of the main thread.

P e r c e t a g e s
  • Colorists receive 80% of their custom payment
  • The other 20% goes to Lunar Mirage
