Hello denizens of the TG Galaxy!
You may have noticed an extreme silence from the admins of this group. Seemingly everything that was submitted to the group got in, whether it was well drawn, poorly drawn, stolen, or not actually TG/TF. Stuff from TG Galaxy became more of a pain than anything else; clogging up your inbox with junk, and some quite frankly disturbing works.
Well, the admins have come to a decision... First off, they have added a new member,
, to help with the new quality control system. If you look in the gallery, you may note that there is a lot less there; and a distinct lack of 3D rendered women with penises. This is because we want TG Galaxy to go in a new direction.
We want to improve the TG community. No more will we accept laziness for easy recognition; we want people to be elated when they see something new from the TG Galaxy, and that requires a certain level of expected quality. As such, we have new standards that are necessary for a work to be featured here.
With regards to art:
1. You must have proper anatomy.
Bit of a no brainer, but this is a gallery for alterations on the human body. Drawing a box, then drawing an hour glass with orbs attached does not proper anatomy make.
Before you argue "But my art is cartoony!" Even cartoonists use proper anatomy.
This requirement is just part of the uplifting of the community. We want quality, not quantity. Study some anatomy and you'll do fine.
In fact, here is a great resource for learning to draw anatomically correct humans via references: reference.sketchdaily.net/
(note this rule doesn't mean no abnormally large breasts or hips or whatever. It just basically means that you understand where everything is supposed to go.)
In general no full frontal/explicit nudity. Partial nudity is acceptable, just work from the rule of thumb of 'PG-13'.
2. You must include TG/TF
Again, a no brainer. Don't send us random things or junk. Specifically, your picture must involve a physical transformation of someone (that is easily identifiable), either into another gender or into another thing. There are currently categories for Non gender-swapping transformations; please make sure to put it under the right category.
This means the following will no longer be supported by the group:
-Futa/Dickgirls
-Traps
-Sissification
-Anything else that does not include a physical change in the form of the subect(s).
3. You must have permission for the picture you are using.
Basically, if you didn't create the image yourself, commission it, or get express permission from the author, do not send it to us. Not as a single image, or with a story. Stolen images will be rejected outright.
With regards to written works:
4. All written work must be in Short Story/Full Story format (no captions)
That's right, no more captions. Any and all captions will be rejected.
You can of course still have a photo to go with the story; it just has to comply with the above rule regarding permission, and the story has to be longer than just a couple paragraphs.
Speaking of that...
5. All written work must not contain more than 3 grammar/spelling errors and must meet a minimum length requirement
will be running all story entries through a spell checker. If there are more than 3 grammatical or spelling errors (within reason; names are excluded, and sometimes the checker can't recognize properly spelled words or structured sentences), then the story will be rejected until they have been resolved. In addition, the stories must be longer than 5 paragraphs at least. If an entry in a series or a short story is shorter than that, it will be rejected.
Not too unreasonable, eh? do good work and we will have no problem promoting your work. We just won't reward laziness or the unwillingness to learn and grow with art or writing.
We want the TG community to grow, and become better. We want to elevate artists, not allow them to stagnate.
Join us, and we will improve the TG Galaxy!
Standards in condensed form:
-Proper Anatomy
-You must have permission for the picture you're using
-You must have an included TF or TG
-All written work must be in Short Story/Full story format (no captions)
-All written work must not contain more than 3 grammar/spelling errors and must meet a minimum length requirement

Revised Submission Criteria [AKA: Captions]
Hello, everyone. I apologize for this adjustment not happening sooner, but I had to make sure the new criteria covered most gray areas.
Barring objections from the group or other moderators, here are the revised criteria for acceptable material.
Now accepted.
- Captions are now acceptable and need to be submitted to the 'captions' folder https://www.deviantart.com/tg-galaxy/gallery/70683883/captions However, be advised that there will be discretion with the number of captions accepted to prevent flooding member inboxes. Perhaps we'll do a 'caption jubilee' event in coming weeks solely dedicated to accommodating years of turned away caption
Do You Want Captions to Return?
Hey, everyone. I'm going to pull the curtain back a bit and make this a public question.
Do you want this group to start taking captions and putting them in a new folder? Truthfully told, despite saying we don't take captions, over 90% of the rejected/timed out material are captions. The decision to adopt a 'no captions' policy was made almost half a decade ago and the community climate has changed somewhat.
That's why I'm taking the stance of letting the members decide whether or not we expand the acceptable submission criteria. The goal won't be to flood your messages but rather to adapt to the new normal.
Side question: We don't have an
Regarding a 'Certain' Community Event
I try not to involve personal affairs with my administrative duties, but there are cases where biases need to come out. Namely, my personal issues with a 'Certain' event that just tried to submit work to this group. I, along with another active mod, have come to the decision that promoting that event is not only a false show of confidence in it but also an open door to flood your messages with work of questionable quality. Given that the focus of the event is 'attention generation' above anything else, I don't want to artificially inflate their 'exposure'.
We might not be a perfect group and we have a way to go, obviously. However, the admin
Regarding the Recent Inactivity + Another Contest
I'd like to quickly address the issue of 'unreliable' submissions over the last few weeks. To put it simply, we dropped the ball because of a mixture of the holidays and personal lives. That doesn't mean I'm giving up but rather that I hope those pieces of art that 'slipped through' are resubmitted in confidence.
On another note, ~flashkill455 (https://www.deviantart.com/flashkill455) is hosting another contest involving transformation. However, given the theme of 'reverse-corruption', it isn't necessarily strictly TG.
