Easy Steps To Becoming A Published Literotica Artist

  1. You Must Be A Member To Publish on Literotica
    Join Literotica (it’s free) or Login if you’re already a member (see our Membership FAQ).

  2. File Formats
    Literotica accepts uploads of standard image file formats (JPG, PNG, GIF, etc.). See the Literotica Artwork Specs for more information.

  3. Content Policies
    In addition to our sitewide Content Guidelines, Artworks have the following specific policies:
    a. We do not publish nonconsent artwork or comics. All sexual activity in artworks must be between consenting adults 18 years of age or older.
    b. We do not publish artworks with excessive violence, visible blood during sexual activity, or other extreme content.

  4. Visual Age of Characters in Artwork
    We do not publish artworks of any kind where characters involved in sexual activity visually appear to be under the age of 18 years old (even if they are described as over 18 years of age). Appearance is subjective, so community feedback is a major factor in decisions regarding content moderation under this policy.
