Hi Alex,

I have some questions regarding adding pictures of book characters, particularly those in Serena Valentino novels. Serena has uploaded images of the characters to her website: http://www.serenavalentino.com/2018/02/20/the-odd-sisters-novel/

Could we use these for character infoboxes? I understand that the images for Maleficent, Snow and the Fairy Godmother could not be used as they are not images of the original Disney source material. But what about for Serena's unique characters like Tulip Morningstar or the Odd Sisters?

I know about the policies regarding fan art and group images in galleries. These current photos look like group shots, but later if individual photos/drawings of each character are released, can those images be used? Also would these images be considered fan art despite being illustrations done by an artist who is directly working with Serena, and will most likely appear in one of her books? Or would it be best to leave the character infoboxes as they are now?

Thank you for your time.
