species rules 

The creation of content using Etekoi and Wickerbeasts is permissible. However, we strongly advise against creating NSFW content featuring the fera species (such as Oshari and Skitadel), as they are not sentient in a human sense.

It is entirely at your discretion to determine whether your wicker is part of the canon lore that belongs to the world of Osova, or if it is from your own unrelated lore.

The usage of the wickerbeast logo in any for-profit scenario, including redistribution as a physical or digital product, is strictly prohibited. If you choose to use our logo, it should only be for personal non-commercial purposes.

You may download our logo off of PineWarden's sta.sh.

We respectfully request that all Wickerbeast designs and insignia refrain from being used in any form of harmful messages, including but not limited to messages that promote hate speech or discrimination against a community.

As a community, we strive to uphold values of inclusivity and positivity, and we ask that our designs be used in a manner that aligns with these values.

Physical or digital content (including written) that is made for mass profit must have a royalty/licensing partnership or agreement with the owner and merchandiser for the Wickerbeast species.

These situations are looked over individually on a case-by-case basis. This rule is for large businesses who want to produce physical and digital merchandise at a larger scale using the wickerbeast name.

At this time you must have a partnership to produce:

​​​

• Continuous physical merchandise (shirts, bags, pants, keychains, etc) at a mass scale. Doing a small run (ex: 200-1000) of merch once or twice is not what we consider mass profit. However, if these runs were continuously occurring - we would ask you to be partners.

• Games / films using the Osova / the Wickerbeast World / lore. 

​

You do not need a partnership for these:

​

• Publishing literature using the Osova/ the Wickerbeast World/ lore, as long as it is properly attributed back to the website or PineWarden.

• Using an individual Wickerbeast OC in an unrelated game or film not using the Wickerbeast World / lore, as long as it is properly attributed back to the website or PineWarden. An example of this would be a modern dating simulator.

• Adoptables / "Sellable" designs.

• VR Avatar Bases & Custom VR Models

• Youtube Videos using Wickerbeasts or speaking about Wicker content.

• Music using Wickerbeasts or speaking about Wicker content.

​

However, anyone with a partnership will be more heavily endorsed and featured on our website permanently provided partnership terms are met.​

​

How much does a partnership cost?

(This is based off furry-based consumption & businesses, not mass businesses like Walmart.)​
 

It depends on the company. For transparency, this percentage scales from 2% of each sale to 10% of each sale, depending on how large the company is and WHAT they are selling and for HOW much. This can also be a one-time fee depending on the merchandise.

This is worked out with each individual and their business specifics are considered. 

Partnerships keep the website running and allow for more merchandise to be created and for the species owner to continue making content for Wickerbeasts specifically. 

​

I want to be advertised on the website!

​

To be featured on the website, you will need two to five in depth consumer reviews (with proof of sales or product photos received from you from each). This is to avoid featuring scammers.

Then, the price is $25 per month featured paid through Kofi to PineWarden. An individual can choose how many months they'd like to be featured and what months the advertising will start. Here is a link to some 2024 analytics.

In the instance that an individual on the featured section of the website is reported to be a scammer, the individual will not be refunded the money they have spent on advertising with the website. ​

​

​

Please note that any VR Chat wicker models & furvilla painties with non-canon features are not considered canon Wickerbeast characters and will not be accepted as such, unless they are accompanied by a version or reference sheet that accurately represents canon features. These models are considered more for entertainment purposes, similar to Furvilla painties. 

​

However, we would like to emphasize that these models and their creators are still a welcomed part of our community, and their enthusiasm for the species is greatly appreciated. We understand that these models are created for fun and entertainment purposes, and we encourage creative expression within our community.
