1.
Collective eligibility.
To qualify, a collective should contain two or more independent projects or creative works. Projects do not need their own domains, subdomains, or separate hosting; they may exist together within the same website, provided each has its own identity, purpose, or creative direction. A single project with many pages or sections does not qualify. Projects must be live and substantially available—placeholder pages such as "coming soon" or "under construction" do not count. Collectives preserved through web archives are welcome if the archived version faithfully represents the collection, remains reasonably navigable, and retains a substantial portion of its original design and layout, allowing visitors to experience the collective in a way that closely resembles the original site.Please refrain from submitting fanlisting collectives, clique sites containing mini cliques, single-project sites, or websites that are not primarily organized as collectives. For a detailed explanation of what qualifies as a collective and what does not, I strongly recommend you refer to the about section before submitting. You are also encouraged to submit collectives that are not your own.

2.
Respectful and lawful content only.
This directory is intended for creative, personal, and community-focused collectives. Artistic and tasteful depictions of nudity are welcome. The following types of collectives may not be listed: those containing sexually explicit material, harassment, promotion of violence, theft or plagiarism, impersonation, illegal or malicious activities, intrusive advertising, or hate and discrimination based on race, sex, religion, color, or national origin. Collectives whose primary purpose is political advocacy, activism, election campaigning, lobbying, or encouraging support for or opposition to a government, political party, public official, armed conflict, territorial dispute, or geopolitical cause are also not eligible for listing, regardless of viewpoint. -
3.
No obligation to link back.
Linking back to this site is not required. Our primary objective is to highlight and celebrate these collectives and the creativity of their creators. That said, providing a link can be beneficial: it signals credibility to search engines, increases the visibility of listed sites, and helps visitors discover new collectives across the web. While entirely optional, including a link contributes to a more connected and discoverable community, supporting the continued sharing and promotion of these unique online spaces. -
4.
Button images must be self-hosted.
If you choose to link to this directory using a button, please host the image on your own server or a third-party image host that permits image hosting. While hotlinking is generally not illegal, it is widely considered poor web etiquette because it uses another site's bandwidth without permission. When an image hosted on our server is hotlinked, it is served directly to visitors of the other site, using our bandwidth and potentially placing unnecessary demands on our server. -
5.
Directory discretion.
While every effort is made to list eligible collectives, submissions may be declined or removed if they no longer meet these guidelines or if they are determined to fall outside the purpose of the directory. Submissions are also reviewed manually and are typically processed within 1-2 weeks. If your submission is approved, you will receive a confirmation by email. Submissions that are not approved will not receive a response.
