In order to keep creative activities enjoyable for both fans and creators, it's possible that pixiv may cancel or block the sending of requests and/or fan letters, depending on their content.
We apologize for the inconvenience but please thoroughly review the content of your requests and fan letters before sending them.
Examples of prohibited conduct that may result in the cancelation of the request
- The content of the request results obscure to a third party.
If the content of a request cannot be made out from the submitted text (e.g. "AAAAAAAAA", "About that thing we discussed", "I'll send you the details via DM"), the transaction will be considered as a personal money transfer and the request may be canceled.
Although the Requests Guidelines prohibit any prior consultation regarding the request, please transcribe all the details of the request even if they have already been discussed.
However, rest assured that the request will not be canceled if the text is short but understandable by a third party or if the content is intentionally obscure because it leaves a certain degree of freedom to the creator. - Sending requests to yourself
Please note that sending requests to yourself by using multiple accounts or otherwise abusing the Requests feature for the purpose of fraudulent payments or money laundering may result in the cancellation of the request or suspension of your account. - Inappropriate age restriction settings
Requests that are substantially R-18 or R-18G in nature but do not have R-18 or R-18G checked may be canceled.
Please be sure to check the R-18 or R-18G box when requesting R-18 or R-18G content. However, please note that you may not be able to send R-18 or R-18 requests depending on your region and viewing settings. Thank you for your understanding.

Examples of co-request messages blocked on account of containing prohibited conduct:

Co-request messages containing prohibited conduct will be made private and/or the co-request will be blocked.
When a co-request is blocked, the co-request amount is returned to the person who sent the co-request.
Fans with blocked co-requests will become the same as third parties, and their co-request will no longer be displayed on their Requests page. Their refund history will be on the Manage Payments page.
Additionally, they will be unable to send the same co-request again.
