General Guidelines of Submission

Original text by *TheWiccanWay, amended by ~Doppelgangergang.

Merry Meet all!

:bulletblack: DO put all your work into the folder which represents it the most. Here are a few guidelines in order for you to have a general idea of what a folder represents. If you have any questions, please do send a Group Note. The moderators do check the sections often and help move pieces to the right places, so don't worry about having a piece in the wrong section.

:bulletblack: DO write something OF INTEREST relating to PAGANISM into your art piece's comment box, OR ELSE IT MAY BE REMOVED. This especially goes for Nature Photographs, Jewellery AND Cartoon/Illustration Drawings. I am rarely lenient on this.

:bulletblack: We have an open-blog system for all members to use! We live by the Habit of Enlightenment, so write a blog and tell us your thoughts, questions, concerns or experiences! We would love to read and respond to them. Please be thoughtful on what goes on your blog. Ideally, a blog should invite other people to discuss on the comments. Creating a blog for the sole purpose of advertising (without permission) is discouraged.

:bulletblack: DON'T send in multiple pictures of the same thing, like several shots of your altar or different angles of a tree. Some images may be so detailed that they'll need several shots and this I will take exception on, but please be more thoughtful to the space you take up inside our Archive. Should there be multiple photos submitted when not necessary, I will choose to preserve the best picture with the most detail and remove other submissions.

:bulletblack: DO note me at *TheWiccanWay if you have any problems.

:bulletblack: DO stick all sales pieces into the SELL and be WELL folder IF the Enlightenment you write as part of the image piece IS NOT more interesting then it's size and worth! It will be moved if not delete.

Thank you everyone and don't worry if you feel like you've broken the rules with previous submissions because you haven't. Keep 'em coming hard and strong guys!

Need to talk? Leave a comment or note me at *TheWiccanWay and I promise to do all I can to help.

Any inappropriate or questionable pieces? Send ~Doppelgangergang a note with a link to the submission in question to give it a check. You could also note him to inquire about removed pieces.

Did your submission got removed from the group? Head on here to see why, and how you can resubmit it.

BLESSED BE!

Chat Room

Link: ALL THINGS PAGAN CHATROOM

The All-Things-Pagan chatroom is a small corner for members to discuss anything of their liking. (Though standard dA rules apply.)

If you want to tell people you are in the Chatroom, please make a blog saying

-WHO is in the chatroom at time of making the blog
-WHAT time you entered and when you are thinking of leaving (a rough time is fine)

All chatroom notice blogs will be cleaned up by me later.


Thank you and blessed be
As promised, the planned improvements to this group is now being implemented! After a long series of delays related to technical issues and basically me and "*TheWiccanWay's life being busy, we are finally unlocking all the folders so members can self-sort their art. (And locking the Featured Folder for slow sorting over time)

I personally apologize for the big nasty delay and the reduced group submission functionalities as a result of the slow progress. This stemmed from me having to write big essays and prepare for tests on College. Finals are terrible. :P

===============

Without further ado, Here are the gallery descriptions, Submit your art where you think it fits most: :)

1. All Things Pagan Essays and Interviews

Got an Academic Essay that is Pagan-Related? Submit it here. Note that Academic Essays are "formal pieces that address a particular subject" and it is meant to be informative. If it isn't informative, and is more of a poem, a formal counter-argument, story writings and other text, there are other sections your piece can fit in. This also includes Faith Interviews, which are written by *TheWiccanWay

2. Stamps

Any stamps, animated or not, that is related to Paganism. Stamps are small rectangular images you can use as little ribbons on your profile. Any piece bigger than what could be considered as a stamp should be submitted somewhere else.

3. The Self

Photos or artwork depicting Members and/or their pagan practices. Even abstract/artistical representations of The Self can still be submitted here.

4. Pentacles, Signs and Symbols

Drawings, paintings and carvings of the Pentacle, and other Symbols in Paganism, or other art and crafts that show such symbols. Note that jewelry meant to be worn belong in another gallery too.

Sorry for the layout change, everyone! It appears we ran out of points to keep the Super-Group status.

Hello there! As far as I know:

I can only add someone else's piece with the permission of the owner.

Group members can submit their own pieces (auto-approved, but checked later) and suggest other people's pieces to be added, but it will only go in with approval of the owner.

I don't think I've seen any of your submissions in the group, but thanks for the comment. :)
