FAQ

General

Q: How do I obtain my own fumi?
- Adoptions (only sold by official breeders, listed on the group profile page)
- Customs (only sold by official breeders, listed on the group profile page)
- Make your own while paying a fee (currently closed, openings are posted in Fumi-LEX's journals)
- Trading/buying/or receiving one as a gift from someone else please remember to inform LEX-dex or Fumi-LEX if a fumi has left your possession

Q: Who is allowed to design and sell fumis?
A: Only official designers may design and sell fumi designs, these people are listed on the group profile! If you already own a legitimate fumi design, you may sell them, just make sure to review the rules here.

Q: Can I become an official designer? If so, how can I?
A: I'm an extremely introverted person and get stressed out easily from social interaction. As a result, I'm only letting people who I'm already familiar with and I know that I'm comfortable around become official designers. I mean you can ask but unless you're someone I'm familiar with, the answer is probably gonna be no, so don't get your hopes up.


Q: What does MYO stand for? How do I obtain a MYO slot? Are there MYO slots open for purchase currently?
A: MYO stands for Make Your Own, you can use a MYO slot to create your own fumi, a single slot can only be used once. You can purchase MYO slots through Fumi-LEX, check her profile to see if there are any openings.

Q: [Insert any other MYO related question here]
A: For rules and information regarding MYOs, please check here (you can also purchase slots there during openings). If your question isn't answered there, feel free to shoot me a note or comment!


Q: If I need to contact you for something, where is the best place to do so?
A: There isn't a strict place that I ask people to notify me of things, but the following are my preferred contact methods.
For MYO related questions or approvals, redesign requests, or general questions about the species: Note me on my main account, Fumi-LEX.
For changes of ownership, or requests to change a fumi's masterlist image: Comment on the masterlist entry of the fumi in question, the masterlist account is LEX-dex.
