Today we must say goodbye to the wonderous soul known as Sir Terry Pratchett. It was utterly fitting that he was met by Death while sleeping with his cat. He will be forever missed.

In light of this news, I am postponing the 25th Anniversary contest for a bit. I'll let you know when it's back on.
There is also now a special folder in the Gallery for any tributes to Terry (Club Rules 1-5 do not apply to this one).

GOOD OMENS 30th ANNIVERSARY!
Today is the 30th anniversary of the publication of the Good Omens, the book, and I would love to be celebrating in a more significant way. But my mother is ill with COVID, so I'm having a bit of a difficult time right now coping with the potential implications and not in a very celebratory mood.
Meanwhile, here is a wonderful gift brought to everyone by Neil Gaiman, Michael Sheen and David Tennant, which should brighten our day. It definitely made even me smile right now.
GOOD OMENS LOCKDOWN
Everyone be safe out there, stay home if possible, and definitely wash those hands & wear a mask.
Alteration to Rule #1
Since the beginning, the Gallery has rejected stock photos and screencaps, since our focus was on original artwork. Another reason was having no canon character designs, unless you count the myriad book covers (even now, neither Book nor TV versions will reign supreme, and the Gallery respects both). The biggest reason was too many copypastas of people's favorite pre-TV Series actors with a character's name slapped underneath, which was neither original nor artistic.
But seeing just how many memes have sprouted in the internet's fertile soil in the 15 years since this group was created, and after such great Good Omens memes in the last few m
Alteration to Rule #5
8/30/2019
Otherwise known as "The Strictest Rule". But, as I say at the top of the Rules page, I'm willing to reshape just about any rule if there is reasonable dialogue.
In the beginning, I wanted to keep the Gallery more humorous, in keeping with the Book. But things change, hopefully for the better. I've actually changed Rule #5 twice before. The first time was allowing ANYTHING graphically disturbing because, after all, there are scenes in the book itself that would be disturbing if illustrated properly, so canon scenes were accepted. The second time was adding fanfic illustrations, because non-canon work can get very graphic indeed.

Possible submissions glitch
I'm largely back to normal, health-wise, and am mostly caught up with memberships & submissions. Except a couple of times, with a couple of members, their submissions were rejected or possibly failed to submit properly after I hit the "YES" button.
One thing I can promise all members is that if a submission is TRULY being rejected, I always send a note along with that rejection to explain the reason. So if your submission is rejected and you DON'T hear from me at all, then you can happily assume it was the same glitch as before, and just resubmit the item.
In fact, I think the last time I outright rejected anything was about four years ago,

He's gone.
Terrible though the news in, and much as he will be missed, I can't help but feel it's for the best, this way: now, as he's no longer here, he won't have to drag on his Alzheimer any further and see his incredible mind go to pieces and disappear. God has shown him mercy in this.
Still, though: he will be missed.
