PE: Suggest an Anime and Manga DD

Hello everyone!
In this journal I'm going to explain how to suggest Daily Deviations based on Anime & Manga only.
For general Daily Deviation suggesting I suggest checking out the Did You Know: Suggesting DDs.


Suggesting Daily Deviations for the Anime and Manga category is really simple.

As a suggester you should be aware that Fan Art is found in our Anime and Manga category. These are called miscats (misplaced deviations). Fan Art miscats can not be featured by the Anime and Manga Community Volunteers cinyu and VelCake as Daily Deviations. Even though they are submitted to Anime and Manga, these suggestions should go to our Fan Art Community Volunteers Lyricanna and Ry-Spirit.

In case you suggest a Fan Art miscat to the Anime and Manga Community Volunteers, we are going to forward it to the Fan Art Community Volunteers. It is no biggie.

How to Suggest Anime and Manga Daily Deviations

STEP 1: Picking a Drawing

Pick a drawing you think that deserves a Daily Deviation and check what category it is submitted to.
Please make sure it's not a Fan Art miscat. How do you know it is a fan art miscat or original? Most artist give credit. When credit is given to a random Japanese man/woman, a channel or a anime series/manga book title it is fan art!

Some fan art miscats have no credit given, which makes it more complex. But some of them are submitted to fan art groups. You find the groups on the right side of the deviation page, below the "more like this" feature.
There is a feature called Featured in Groups. In this feature you can find all groups the drawing is submitted to.

There are also miscats where no credit is given, it is submitted to no fan art group and no comment from other deviants is given like: "[character name] is really cute! I love the [anime series] so much!!"
There you only can say it is Fan Art when you have seen the series yourself.

STEP 2: Finding the the Anime and Manga Community Volunteers.
You can find the Anime and Manga Community Volunteers in communityrelations Journal The Community Relations Team.
And in FAQ #18: Who selects Daily Deviations and how are they chosen?

STEP 3: Checking out the Community Volutneers Guidelines


ALL Community Volunteers have suggestion guidelines. They may be written in a widget on their profile (best example: ry-spirit) OR written in a journal and linked in a widget on their profile.
In my example (see screenshot), the guidelines are written in a Journal. This journal is linked on the Community Volunteers profile in a widget.


Why it is important to check out the Community Volunteer guidelines?
When your suggestion follows the guidelines you have a bigger chance that it will be featured than when you suggest your drawing to a Community Volunteer which guidelines are not matching at all to your Daily Deviation suggestion.
Even Community Volunteers from the same category have a few differences in their guidelines.

STEP 4: Send your suggestion note!
