We get a lot of mis-submitted work, so i thought it best to lay out what goes where. If you're still confused, please

Note that even if you submit to the right folder, you still need whether the adopt is open or closed in the title, and the rules must otherwise be followed.

Human Anthro Taur
Any adopt that has a mostly human shape, such as kemonomimi, furries, ordinary humans, and the like. Humanoid original species do not go here, and we prefer mythical humanoids (elves, ghouls, ect.) to go into the Mythical creature folder.

Canines
Any canine, such as foxes, dogs, wolves, and tanuki would go here. Original species based on dogs, animal hybrids that do not only include canids, and humanoid characters with dog traits do not go here.

Felines
Any feline, such as housecats, lynx, big cats, and hyenas go here. Original species based on cats or hyenas, animal hybrids that do not include only felids, and humanoid characters with cat traits do not go here.

Hooved
Any animal with hooves goes here, including deer, sheep, horses, and pigs. Original species based on a hooved creature, humanoid characters with those traits, and animal hybrids go elsewhere. Mythological hooved creatures would be preferred to go in the Mythological creature folder.

Original Species
Any original species, open or closed, goes here. Copycat species and adopts that are not clearly part of an original species do not go here. Info sheets are not permitted in the group.

Pick your own palette
Any adopt where the buyer picks their own palette (that is, the adopt does not come with a predetermined color), regardless of what other category the adopts fits in. "Adopts" that are just a palette do not go here. Customs are not allowed in the group on their own.

Other Mixed
Any adopt that has multiple categories on one sheet or that otherwise does not fit any other category goes here. So rabbits, bears, a sheet with cats and dogs, and monsters that don't have myth/urban legend behind them all go here. Original species don't go here.

Mystery Egg
Any adopt that you don't see in full before purchasing goes here. Eggs, premade gacha, mystery boxes, aesthetic spreads... anything like that. Customs, semi-customs, and breedables are not allowed in the group. If you see the adopt beforehand, it also does not belong in this folder.

Clothing, Weapons, Accessories, etc.
Anything that you would put on another character. So an outfit, a necklace, a lance, or a necklace would all go here. CYOP outfits still go into Pick Your Own Palette, however.

Auction
Any adopt sold via auction/OTA that is not a mystery adopt or a CYOP goes here. If it is not purchased via a bid of some sort, it is not accepted.

Resale, Trade, Bulk, adoptable journals
All journals go here. Note that even these need to have the status in the title! Journals not related to the buying and selling of adoptables are not accepted.

Flat Price Paypal Only
All flatsale adopts sold via paypal that are not mystery or CYOP adopts. If it is bought through any method but paypal, it goes elsewhere.

Contest Raffle
Any contest or raffle that has an adoptable as the/a prize. Any contest that does not involve a preexisting design is not accepted.

Lineart and Bases
Any and all bases and lineart. Adoptables don't go in this folder, and YCH are not accepted. Bases and lineart are the only exceptions to the "status in title" rule.

Free+DTA
Any adopt being given away or that must be drawn to obtain. Mystery and CYOP adopts still go in their respective folders.

Not sure? Submit here
If you have exhausted all options and are still not sure, it goes here. All submissions here still must abide by the rules of the group.

Fandom-Based Adopts
Any adopt inspired by or for a fandom, be it a Pokemon gijinka, pony, or disney-styled animal. Fandom species go here, but bases, mystery adopts, and CYOP adopts go in their respective folders.
