All users must abide by the Keyword Policy. Be sure to read it in addition to the general information provided on this page.
As part of the submission process there are three basic categories of keywords; Gender, Species, Themes/Kinks. This section is dedicated to suggesting proper keywords & explaining what those keywords actually mean. Always try to use the more basic keyword to avoid having too many alternative keywords being used across the site.
Genders
There is not a standardized way of listing genders. These are only suggestions and examples. Please note that Inkbunny will automatically make all keywords lower case, and any use of upper case here is for the ease of reading.
Gender Identifiers
Here is a short list of commonly used descriptors for genders found in art.
- m (Male) - Adult who possess only male genitalia.
- b (Boy) - Youth who possess only male genitalia.
- f (Female) - Adult who possess only female genitalia.
- g (Girl) - Youth who possess only female genitalia.
- h (Herm) - Character who possess both male & female genitalia.
- Etc.
Interactions
Separated by slashes, combine all characters involved in the way they interact. Generally (but not always) the first listed is the gender taking the dominate role. This is harder to do when dealing with more than 2 characters, but just do what makes the most sense. Some examples:
- m/f - Male with a Female.
- f/g - Female with a Girl.
- m/m/b - Two Males and a Boy (often a threesome).
- m/h/f/m - Male, Herm, Female, Male (usually a group activity).
- Or any other combination that conveys what's happening in the submission. Have an entry for each pairing of characters in the submission if needed.

Simply add in the common species names of all the characters involved in the submission.Some examples:
- Dog
- Cat
- Tiger
- Eagle

- Etc.
Age Groups
These are important to help users who are looking for or trying to avoid specific content. Here are some examples of proper keywords used to define age groups:
- Babyfur
- Cub
- Teen
- Adult
- Elderly
- Etc.
Kinks
A kink refers to sexual subject matter of a submission (if any). Be sure to cover all major elements in a submission so all users can either find or avoid the submission based on it's content.
Required Examples
Here is an incomplete list of required keywords that must be added (if they apply):

- Rape - Characters forcing others to have sex against their will.
