...And click "Submit Request"!
=== Approval ===
If there are issues with your submission, it will be returned to draft form with admin comments-- at which point you can make any necessary changes. Again, you can take as much time as you need when working on drafts.
Similarly, if you requested pre-approval for a [[Salon Guide|portrait salon]], upon approval your submission will be returned to draft form with an admin comment indicating it is pre-approved. Note that though the design is pre-approved, the character is '''not official at this point''', and will need to be submitted again once you have obtained a portrait commissioned from an OA.
'''Upon being accepted, your submitted MYO will be incorporated directly into the masterlist!''' You can now use your new character within the group!
Additionally, we '''strongly recommend''' submitting approved designs to the [https://www.deviantart.com/mothcats/gallery/56337000/approved-myo-designs Approved MYO Designs] gallery in the group!
== Accepted but Unregistered Characters ==
Prior to the implementation of the above system, characters made with MYO slots were first approved as one step and ''then'' added to the masterlist as another step.
For characters who were approved through this process but not added to the masterlist, follow this procedure to register them.
