Someone made this on twitter, so I decided to reshare it here but all credits for the image goes to @/gokanijiku on X
Here's a weekly reminder for everyone in the Gachiakuta fandom, across all kinds of platforms. Kindly DO NOT USE OR INCLUDE the following on your gachiOC artwork:
Official GACHIAKUTA logo / title
"Written/Illustrated by Kei Urana and graffiti art by Hideyoshi Andou" or a similar phrasing
The graffiti backgrounds made by Hideyoshi Andou-sensei
And most importantly, do not use the official hashtags #Gachiakuta / #GachiArt / #GachiakutaFanart / #GachiFanart if your work includes your OCs in them—even if they're side by side with an official character! (The OCs are not official so you don't want to get someone confused and mistake them for canon or official characters.)
Please respect the creators' boundaries. They are neither restricting nor disapproving anybody to create OCs, rather they do not want any confusion of what's official and not within the community—especially for those who do not know about the series or have yet to pick it up.
INSTEAD, fanartists may go ahead and design your own, original:
GachiOC backgrounds or volume covers
GachiOC title logo
Watermark to indicate that this is an OC art
For hashtags, kindly use #GachiakutaOC or #GachiOC so the community can distinguish between OC fanwork and official work. (Once again, please understand that OCs are not official characters so you don't want to cause confusion to someone out there who might think they're canon to the series.)
Lastly, if you can, consider deleting or removing your previous work that involves the unauthorized use of the official volume cover template designs.
Take note also that this does not apply to X/Twitter only, but across all platforms too, because Urana-sensei does not want all fan works of Gachi OCs to be mistaken as official. Please kindly understand and respect that. Thank you 🤍
