Hi guys,
Im not sure how to do this but I try. Some of you know me fairly well, some of you know me a little, and some dont know me at all. I ask, no, I plead that you take your time to click the link below and read it whomever you are. It wont take that long, but it will mean everything to me and my family.
Some of you know or at least have a hunch that my living situation is very tough, Ive mentioned it but never told what it really is about. Ive been scared to share, felt ashamed, felt its my own fault, felt I should be strong enough to fix it myself. Somehow, in some way. But Ive tried everything, my whole family has tried everything but it keep failing and our strengh is running out. Ive never liked begging for help, it feel wrong to bother others. But things are spinning completely out of hand, my family is suffering badly for years and it only get wors




EDIT AT BOTTOM!


All requests to join the group are accepted!

Okay so to speed up your deviation submission acceptance, I'm intending to change the way the group submissions actually work. Instead of checking each piece and accepting or declining, works submitted to folders other than 'featured' will be automatically accepted. I will still monitor what is in these folders and may remove works (or move them to a different folder) if I feel that is suitable....

Also, this is to cut down on human error, I have recently accidentally deleted submissions without accepting or declining them (at least two today, I'm really sorry. If one of your pieces, which you have submitted within the past few days, has not been responded to please resubmit, I recall an exceptional creature being lost this way)

Featured works will now be selected by founder or admin from the other folders! Please submit to a folder which it suits and if I think the piece is work of being in the featured folder, it may be placed there without notice! I will work out a more defined method of doing this...




The rules are now as follows:


Fan and fantasy art only please!

Please submit to the correct folders, if you don't feel there is a folder suitable for your piece, I'm more than happy to create one, you need only ask (note me?) If I feel it should be in a different folder, I will move it and let you know why I have done so (if it is not obvious)...

You may now submit as many works as you like, but I'd rather you not send in lots of slightly different versions of the same work (please choose your best or favourite one! I will remove the newer submissions and leave the first piece you submitted)

No sexual content and limited nudity is preferred (especially if deemed unnecessary) Any nudity must have filters- If I see something I deem to be unnecessary or violates this rule it will be removed without warning.

Strong violence is allowed with appropriate filters (if not overly extreme or involves sexual scenes) - without filters, it will however be removed from the group without warning.

I'd like this group to be suitable for young teens so keep that in mind, thanks!

Harassment, bullying and any other form of abuse or unnecessary criticism will not be tolerated, you will be removed from the group and banned.

Note founder for questions and queries! I'm not as active as I'd like to be, but I will respond (eventually, I apologise in advance)!

Having fun is mandatory!





EDIT: Please respect these rules and they also include the favourites folders as well. Be reasonable, I have had members submit their entire gallery to the featured folder in the group favourites. Please do not add art pieces which are basically the same piece or design, even in the favourites, and please don't just add every single piece of work you've crated, in one go, to one folder, spreading your deviation submissions to the appropriate folders allows people to find your work better. I may remove you and you art from the group without notice or reason or I will be forced to add a submission limit again which I don't want to do.

And I will now move or remove work which I feel should obviously not be there according to the rules. If I feel it isn't obvious I will still note you as to why I have removed or moved the work, but feel free to note me to ask me any questions assertively and  I'd appreciate it if you could be mindful to others' submissions. I was hoping these guidelines would make the group a freer friendlier environment...



Thanks guys!
