While we are honoured that you would want to write fan fiction featuring our comics and characters, we sadly are not permitted to read them. This is simply because it could get us into legal trouble if your idea or fan fiction happened to be similar to an upcoming plot in our stories. We really don’t want the headache of copyright issues that could cause.

If you do post your angelKat fan fiction online, please remember to credit us and include a link to the angelKat website.

However, we do not allow or endorse the sale of fan fiction based on our intellectual property in any form unless officially licensed by angelKat.

We’d appreciate it if you included a link to our website and/or tagged us on social media when you post your fan art so that others can discover our work too.

However, we do not allow or endorse the sale of fan art based on our intellectual property in any form unless officially licensed by angelKat.

While we’d prefer you to use our sharing buttons on this website, or to RT/share/reblog our own social media posts instead…

We’re happy for your to repost our art and comics so long as you credit us properly, don’t use our content for commercial purposes, and don’t claim ownership/authorship. Please do not crop any watermarks or signatures in the image.

If we contact you for inappropriate use with a takedown request please respect our decision.

We love tattoos, but our artwork isn’t particularly designed with tattoos in mind. You’re probably better off asking a tattoo artist to create something unique for you.

However, if you’ve fallen in love with our artwork and are dying to get it tattooed please get in touch with us to ask for permission first. This is as some of our artwork is very personal, or created exclusively for a client. In those cases we would not be comfortable (or legally able) to grant permission.

In those cases where we do give permission for the artworks use, there will be a fee of £50 for using our designs. Also, unless you have commissioned the art from us, we can not give you exclusive tattoo rights to the artwork.

This does not apply to tattoo artists. If you are a tattoo artist looking to add our artwork to your flash sheets please get in touch to arrange an appropriate licensing fee.
