If papablue and the rest of you guys want the admins to respond to this issue, frame it in a question they can answer. What will they allow? AFAIK they will allow anything that doesn't violate the TOS, doesn't have any copyright or trademark issues and doesn't generate any complaints. For them to be more specific would take a few hundred pages of details. If the goal is to bend the rules with public domain subterfuges, you're just going to get them angry and less willing to cater to the fan-art faction.
