Rules
OliveClan is a blog based on my ClanGen file of the same name. This blog was made to raise awareness of the crisis in Gaza, to spotlight any fundraisers that have asked for help, and to educate myself and anyone else willing to listen about the culture, the daily life, and the history (both of joy and of sorrow) of Palestinians. As such, bigoted comments or asks looking for debates are not welcome here, and will be ignored with a warning. This is an educational blog, not a verbal arena. Also, please remember, while these cats are fictional, the people of Palestine are very much real, and deserve to be treated with the respect and tact you’d give to anyone else. Tags #FromTheRiver - ClanGen Updates #ToTheSea - Asks #PalestineWillBeFree - Fundraiser Spotlight #ooc - Out of Character (usually reserved for muse asks) (Tags will be added as time progresses.) I will be linking fundraisers and giving them attention once every week. They will be answered in the order they were received (on my main blog, but I am willing to spotlight fundraisers in need on any other blog that receives asks!) but one fundraiser will not be spotlighted in the same two weeks. If one fundraiser is sent twice in a row, it will be skipped over until the week after next. This is not meant to be a general “rule” or to “keep people in line/from spamming”, but rather to give everyone who needs help a fair chance to be seen and heard. Note: All humans featured in this webnovel will not be of real people unless explicit permission is given, i.e., if said person asks to be drawn in. No fee necessary, all you need to do is ask.
(And I feel like this shouldn’t have to be said, but if you ask to be put in this comic as a human, and you are not from the Palestinian/Gaza community, you will be blocked. This is a serious issue and the only reason I’m allowing this at all is because war is a terrible thing to go through, and if being put in a fictional cat comic makes someone happy, then it is the least I can do to honor that request. This goes for other ClanGen comics as well. If you see your character cameo’d at any point in this storyline, it will only be after I have gotten express permission from the original author AND they are comfortable with it. I will not force someone to face a fact they are not mentally prepared or, especially, equipped to handle.) TLDR Rules; ⁃ Have some tact. Remember the people of Palestine are real, but the cats are not. ⁃ Fundraisers will be spotlighted once every week, excepting those who have sent a request twice in a row, in which case, they will be spotlighted two weeks apart from each other. ⁃ All humans depicted in this comic are real, unless someone from the Gaza/Palestine community has requested to be put in. (Think of this as a sort-of method to verify that this is a real person, and not a bot or a scammer.) ⁃ That being said, I will be checking different ways to verify that you are not someone posing as a war-scarred person, or that your account is not being piloted by a bot. I will not be sharing these methods, and if I find out you are taking advantage of these people’s situations just for some clout, I will block you without hesitation, and I will put your handle on a public blacklist. This is a real massacre, real people have died, old, young, and everyone in between, and I will not have people trying to turn something meant to be educational and helpful into something for their own personal gain. Grow up. ⁃ Donating to these fundraisers is not required, but very much appreciated and even encouraged! Arc Masterpost: - Blacklist: -
