Alrighty, so, as you may have come to notice, we haven't been as active as we once were.  Part of that is due to the new school year some of it is due to life.  And, it has come to my attention that really not a lot gets done while we're gone, partly due to the fact of very, very few admins.  So, I'd like to open it up a little and select new admins to run the show in case we're ever gone for a long stretch of time.

If you'd like to be considered for an admin, please submit the following.

Five(or more) reasons why you should be an admin.

Proof (or something that indicates to me) that you have NEVER stolen artwork.

How many years you've been on dA

A vow that you will never, ever, steal art and that you won't except stolen art and that you accept responsibilities of being an admin.

Thank you!

You must submit this before December 1st to be considered.

Yes, you've guessed it. Another group attack is coming- for you! This is the fifth group attack since the group started sixth months ago (wow! six months!). As always, I'm apologizing for the endless wave of fantastic photos meant to overwhelm you with a sense of sheer wonderment. (That was quite a few adjectives! ) Anywho, please don't just delete, because I'm sure that you would regret it if you saw the photos we added. And also, please accept our sincere apologies for the never-ending lack of activity. Both and I are a mixture of busy and lazy (hopefully it's more busy than lazy for both of us..) AND absent-minded (that would probably be me) so we aren't as attentive with DA as some people. Be assured- we still love DA! But we also love life.

Lastly, we all want attention. Our group has covered this before, but now I'm saying it AGAIN. Stealing other's art is wrong, and that's not the way to gain attention for your art. Because it won't even be your art your getting the spotlight shown on. And imagine how you would feel if someone did that to you! So make your art amazing, and get your own fanbase, rather than stealing someone else's. I'm saying this again because I recently saw an amazing photo I loved exposed to be stolen. Ouch. So quit it, you art thieves.

Thanks for your support everyone! We now have 167 members and 175 watchers! The more the merrier!

Have fun out there, make your art, and enjoy the art we're sharing with you!

Love!!

is busy adding tons of photos to the group and she would like to usher an apology to all you watchers/members.  This group attack (the fourth) is like no other, since BOTH of us added lots and lots of photos.  Well, at least it makes up for our lack of activity.

Your Founder

Hurray!!! I've finally fixed the issue of not being able to put pictures in any other folder other than featured  I am proud to announce that I've figured it out!  You can now submit to every single folder!

**Contributors, you can now vote as well. **
Since I fixed it, I expect your photos to be submitted to the right folder, so take a look at them in case you don't know what they are.  Thank you

This is your founder, and I'm here on behalf of the sudden rise of stolen artwork.

I am please to inform you that, as far as I'm concerned, there has been no stolen artwork submitted to these galleries.  But, as I have been on dA for the past few months, there have been several, highly dramatic, cases of artwork plagiarism.

The following rules will be set in place to prevent plagiarized work from being in our group.

1. Don't it.  Period.

2. Please, if you stole your work, don't submit it.

3. If you know a piece is stolen, do not suggest or add that person's work to the gallery.

4. Check to make sure all work you add isn't stolen.

5. Do not vote on stolen pieces of artwork.  (I will now be checking the art that is sent through here more thoroughly)

6. If a piece of artwork, that is stolen, is submitted, report it to me.  ASAP!

6.5. Send me the person's name as well.

7. If you think a piece of art that the co-founder or I submitted, please, please, PLEASE, tell us.

8. If you have proof of a stolen piece of art, please, send me the link.

9. Don't just tell me, report it,

If I find out that ANYONE is submitting stolen art, there will be SERIOUS consequences.  Not only will I kick you out of the group, I will ban you.  Not only will I do that, but I will report you and the piece of artwork.  Do be careful, I do not wish to ban anyone, nor do I have any desire to report you and get you banned from dA.  So PLEASE, PLEASE don't just use this advice for this group, please, help stop the rise in plagiarism.

Thank you.

You are all wonderful, be good.

Sorry, but I had to say something on this.

Not only is it wrong to steal someone else's work, it's desicable. If you are planning on, or have stolen someone's work, then I have to say, shame on you. Really, it's ridiculous. Please, if you can't live without popularity then make your own art better. If you steal someone else's work and become very popular for it you haven't made that popularity on your own works. It won't be YOU'RE faves, it will be someone else's.

And trust me, at some point, you WILL get caught. You may have the deviation up for months before someone realizes it, but eventually someone will know something is up. And more than likely, they'll report you. So don't steal art. It's wrong, pathetic, and dangerous.
