Questions that have been asked, and their following answers.

Q- "exact text of question asked"

A- "exact text of question's answer"

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Q- "should artist entries have collars/harnesses?"

A- "Artists can chose to include or not to include collars/harnesses in their entries at their leisure! All that is asked is that when you add a collar, that it be separate from the pet's linework and colors."

Q- "Will artists only design cats and dogs, or would other pet species be allowed, such as rats, lizards and birds?"

A- "The primary adopts will be dogs and cats, so an artist should be familiar in drawing those the most (at the least be vaguely familiar and be able to draw them enough for SFA, they can gain the comfortability over time). Rats, lizards, birds, etc. are going to be saved for milestones and event adopts, so if an artist knows how to draw them, that may prove it useful in future special occasions but not for the regular adopt."

Q- "would we be allowed to use our scs kids in this, like for answering prompts?"

A- "You can include pets from other species/adopts in mentions and such though it is preferred to be SFA pets primarily unless the adopts are affiliates."

Q- "I understand that "folded ears" are uncommon and therefore are only for milestone adopts (not standard adopts). Could you perhaps show some examples of what counts as a"folded ear?" I saw that the Australian Shepard adopt you made had ears that drooped down (like a fold? Probably actually a drop ear but I want to check.) and that wasn't a milestone adopt (unless #5 counts as a milestone). So I just want to make sure what is allowed and not regarding ears that droop down like that. From what I understand, fully-drooping ears like a bloodhound aren't allowed but semi-pricked, drop ears (like a lab), and button ears are allowed? (I'm using this site to research dog ear types to try to make sure that I understand.) I just want to make sure that I know what I'm doing ^^""

A- "Folded ears on the mutation list specifically refers to cats- mainly the scottish fold breed and other similar cats. It doesn't have to do with dogs at all."

Q- "i can have my SFA and SCS pets live in the same city right? and maybe the same house? i should also make a separate folder right? i can't keep SFA and SCS pets in the same TH folder can i?"

A- "SFA pets can be kept within the same storage thread as any other adopts with no consequences. Only difference with affiliates, such as SCS, is non affiliates cannot be mentioned in forms, activities, or events."

Q- "Is there an item you can buy to add a disability/remove a limb?"

A- "There is no and will not be an item that does such a thing (just doesn't feel right to purchase an item to remove a limb or add a disability ya know?). However on the Challenge Thread you can complete the Disability/Injury Check using a SFA pet you own to earn a disability/injury to be added to your pet. Theres a listed minimum for different kinds of disabilities and/or injuries and guidelines on how the check works. That specific check (disability) is writing only and must use one of the various prompts provided on the post. Please take the time to read the check's information and the thread's information through through before sending one in."

Q- "On the challenge thread, it says that all prompts must be completed from the SFA pet(s)'s perspective. Does this mean that writing must be in 1st person or that the pets have to be the focus of the piece?"

A- "The for the sake of easy perspective can be either, just cannot be done from another character's outside perspective of the situation. SFA's Pets perspective (first person) or an omnipotent narrator/observer (third person) are both acceptable options for writing submissions, however you cannot use an npc's or character outside SFA's perspective in challenge submissions (unless otherwise stated)."
