The group of ShadowXTwilight focuses on Shadow and Twilight either by themselves, being together, their series, or simply just having them.

Having said that, there is no limit in submissions as long as them or their series are involved.

Even their other pairings are allowed. They're tolerable, but then there's this one pairing that I'm losing my patience with, ShadPie, or Shadow X Pinkie.


Before there was ShadowXTwilight, there were a lot of fanart over ShadPie. It was something I couldn't stand as there's not much for ShadTwi, so the group was formed in response. I was hoping that the likeness of ShadPie would die down in favor of ShadTwi, but I still see that there are some who prefer Shadow with Pinkie.

I have said it many times in journals and comments and I'll say it again, "Never will I pair Shadow, my personal number 1, with my least favorite of the Mane Six, Pinkie Pie."

Because of my personal reaction, there are three debatable options:

A. No longer take ShadPie materials.
It is as it is said. From now on, any submissions that supports this pairing will be denied. Simply having them stand next to each other may apply, though that can be up for discussion.

-or-

B. Remove everything from the group folders that supports ShadPie.
Controversial as this comes right after option A. I will go through the group folders and remove them on sight.

-or-

C. Do not go for both Option A and B.
In which the group will still continue to allow Shadpie as much as Shadow and Twilight's other pairings, despite my disapproval.



So which action should I take? Post your opinions at the comments below. If you want me to go for Option C, you'll have to be very convincing.

Honestly, I'd say option C.

Given the rules of the group - where anything that is of one or the other series or both is allowed - there are no grounds for disallowing other ships.  Also, I see no reason to disallow other ships, even if you dislike them.  To be perfectly honest, being open about it is what allows this group to grow and get more artwork.

For example...

I personally can't stand Regular Show.  At all.  However, there is a ton of MordeTwi artwork showing up in my feed from following this group, because it meets the criteria.  But I don't say anything about it, because that's just the rules of the group.

My recommendation: create a new folder labeled "Other Pairings", where the rule for it is that the images must contain either Shadow or Twilight for the pairing.  Put any pairing image that pairs Shadow or Twilight with someone other than the other in that folder, and only that folder.

Then you just don't have to look at it if you don't want to.
