As we expand as a community due to the various events we are offering, we felt that our rules were in need of an update. Although several of our rules seem to be obvious, we all know that the internet allows for people to hide behind a screen and toss out basic social standards. That being said, here are the rules of conduct and a basic posting guide for our community events.

1. Be kind and respectful - We understand that meeting people with different views, headcanons, and languages is a given with how big this fandom is – but we are all humans. Please keep this in mind when commenting or debating.

2. Everyone is welcome - It doesn’t matter whether you are underage or not; speak perfect English or not (or even no English at all); you are all welcome and we enjoy having you here. During events, we will still share posts we are tagged in whether they are in English or not. Our goal is to share work, not exclude anyone based on their language. THE MORE THE MERRIER!

3. Suggestions are welcome! - We don’t turn away ideas, prompts, or event recommendations! If you have any suggestions, please send them to our ask box, DM, or to a mod.  This is your community too!

4. Accepted Content – We don’t like to confine artists and therefore accept ALL KINDS OF ART! Digital, Traditional, Writing, Cosplay, Pottery, Glass Blowing, Balloon Animals, Crop Circles, WHATEVER! If you can use the characters/ship and the prompts to create something, then its an acceptable artform that we will gladly share with our followers!

5. NSFW – All Saiyan Tales events use broad-based prompts to allow for inspiration in both SFW and NSFW. Since Tumblr no longer allows it, we ask that you A) add a link to an external post, B) crop and/or post and tag us on Twitter, or C) post to our Discord. Our discord server will require you to verify age with a mod AND have the proper role/s for posting to the NSFW event channels. We do NOT allow material of a pedophilic nature! You WILL be banned without warning. Update: due to rising concerns in possible triggering tags, mods have decided to ban the use of gore, non-con/rape, and incest from our events. Users will be warned of the violation and not reblogged. After multiple warnings, offenders will be banned.

6. NO REPOSTING! - We like to give credit where it is due and for this reason, we ask you do NOT repost anything from our events without proper permission from the OP. Reposting is a massive issue in our fandom and we don’t want that sickness spreading throughout our community. Reposts are NEVER accepted for events and doing so will get you banned! 

7. Tag! Tag! Tag! – We ask that everyone tag their content appropriately during events! This keeps everyone safe and allows them to decide what they want to see or avoid. We can’t force everyone to tag when they reblog (although we highly recommend it) but tagging makes reblogging easier for us. All prompt posts will include tags that are needed and tags that ban certain things per the mods decision to do so. Be aware of what is or isn’t allowed and PLEASE tag everything that can be triggering!

8. BLOCK TAGS! – We stand firm in our belief of self-policing! We will NOT stifle anyone’s creativity during our events unless something is specifically mentioned in the event rules per the mods decision. If you wish to avoid certain things, block the tags! We are not responsible for you directly. You know what you like and don’t like and what you are allowed to see/do and not; it is your responsibility to take the appropriate steps to keep your timeline safe. Bashing our group because you failed to take this rule into consideration will result in consequences from a temporary ban/block to a permanent ban (depending on the severity of the bashing). 

9. Badges – Saiyan Tales is always excited to receive new content! This means that we will allow for late entries at all times. However, our participation badges will ONLY be available to those who participated during the event week (one of the perks of creating/posting with everyone). 

10. Archiving – In order to help fans find the content they are looking for, Saiyan Tales will be archiving all entries! If you are posting to Twitter, we will be creating Moments albums for each event. If you are posting to Discord, it will forever be saved in our event channels! Writers will be able to archive their works through our AO3 collection! See below for our posting guide under the cut.

****Want to be more involved in our group?***

We are always accepting help from artists through art donations! If you are an artist and you wish to contribute, contact a mod for a list of items we may still need and pick your poison. All art donated to our group will be used for icons, banners, or badges and will always be credited back to you!

We also intend on creating monthly challenges on our discord server to get our members more involved! If you have suggestions/feedback or would be interested in joining in, let us know! (Possible challenges include drabble nights (random characters/themes), collaborations, and possibly more if we get suggestions).

DIY Crochet Skeleton Scarf Pattern

I looked back on my old post for Fabienne Gassmann’s Crochet Self Portrait Skeleton Scarf, and found that almost every link was broken and there was no pattern at that time. So this is the Updated 2019 post with a pattern.

Self Portrait Skeleton is a large scarf for the patient crocheter, it is worked entirely in filet crochet and ends up as a picture of a life size skeleton.

Here is another cool photo of the scarf:

You can find the DIY Filet Crochet Skeleton Scarf Pattern for $6.17 on Ravelry by Fabienne Gassmann here.

You can see the scarf for sale for on the WayBack Machine for $1,171.68 (950 GBP) here.
