Update On Posting Artwork

Good morning, my people!

An artist alerted me to the ethics of posting ironicbee's art without her okay. I tried everything to track her down. But after 2011 she's simply gone, probably to other things. She had a blogspot blog but that's also no longer in use. Her art is all over the interwebs. I posted my dilemma to [community profile] fictional_fans and got some very helpful advice and someone else posted to an artist community.

Over on [community profile] indeedsir the policy is to post links rather than art, with perhaps one representative picture. So I've taken down the pictures that weren't meant to be public. There are several that were used for illustrations at AO3 and a fanzine, so those are still up, along with a link to her albums.

It's a pity that so many fanworks vanish without a trace. There are many artists and writers whose work is simply gone, leaving broken links or purged journals. However, there is still tons of original art on Deviantart and Tumblr where the artist can be asked.

Going forward, I'll be posting more fan art but make sure to keep to the new policy.
