Hey you!


Oh hey there! Looks like you're in TheWritePlace at the right time! We're a brand new group committed to providing a useful, efficient resource for the literature community here on dA. We're also invested in trying to strengthen community ties for everyone, because deviantART is our home.

If you think there's something more we could be doing to help you - let us know! We are always open to new ideas and feedback. After all, this group is for you!


Important Guidelines


As we strive to make this group the best it can be we have to ask for our members' cooperation in keeping the group useful, beautiful and safe.

When submitting to this group please

:bulletblue: Check you're submitting to the right gallery.
:bulletblue: If the gallery you want to submit to is full, let us know ASAP!
:bulletblue: Do not submit materials that are against DeviantARTs TOS.
:bulletblue: We only accept Literature (including visual poetry / prose).
:bulletblue: If your story has, or will have, more than one chapter please submit it to one of our 'Chapters' folders. The short stories folders are for singular works, Chapters are for extended works that are told through multiple submissions.
:bulletblue: Feel free to feedback. If something doesn't work for you, let us know! We will take it into account and see what works best for other members using the same feature.
:bulletblue: You cannot submit to our Featured folder. We use this to highlight the artists we have featured in our Today's Featured Writer articles.
:bulletblue: If critiquing a piece of work make sure you remain encouraging.




Chatroom

We're striving to recreate the magic of the 2010 chatroom #LitLove. We will be launching our room #TheWritePlace soon with a launch event so stay tuned for details. In the meantime:




The Write Place for Writers


Get Involved






Here at TheWritePlace we have many ways to get involved. We want to be a hub of community activity, so if you have ideas that aren't listed, let us know! We are always open to engage in new ways to strengthen our beautiful community. In the meantime, here's the ways we have to get involved:



Feature Team

This team will be involved in the Today's Featured Writer feature of talented writers and their work. To be involved in this team you need a passion for sharing the talents of others, a basic understanding of html for journals and commitment to post regularly (how regularly is up for negotiation though!)

Applications for this role are currently: Open. You can note PoetryOD or the group to discuss joining the Feature Team.

Prompt Team

This team will be involved in providing regular prompts and inspirations to the group. To be involved in this team you need a passion for helping other writers break down writers block or just see something new and be excited to write about it, a basic understanding of html for journals and commitment to post regularly (how regularly is up for negotiation though!)

Applications for this role are currently: CLOSED. You can note PoetryOD or the group to discuss joining the Prompt Team.*

* Please note that this is PoeticMolecules's team.



Art Collectors

The group has a large and vast set of galleries, and in this early stage we would love to invite exceptional art works to those galleries so that newcomers can see them in action. If you love to scout out great work and get it noticed, this could be the role for you!

Applications for this role are currently: Open. Note PoetryOD or the group to discuss joining the Collectors. To speed up your application why not show us some of the literature you love and which galleries you'd submit them to? 


Critiquers

If you love to help writers hone their work, if you have particular expertise in editing or just like to share your thoughts about literature, this could be the role for you! This group encourages members to get involved in critiquing each others work (where wanted) and if you're a regular critiquer we'd love to have you involved in our team so that we can discuss behind-the-scenes things like how to encourage other people to critique, how to write positive critiques, how to make the critiques systems within our group more helpful to the lit community etc. Basically this role isn't so much as a job as a state of mind, if you have it, we want you!

Applications for this role are currently: CLOSED. Note PoetryOD or the group to discuss joining the Critiquers discussion!



Chat Room Moderators

Our chatroom TheWritePlace is of humble beginnings, but it seeks to recreate the much loved chatroom of the past #LitLove (2010). A room that encourages crossover between writers and other community members, that does not have a specific topic for discussion but encourages literature community members to meet each other, chat and get to know other people who have similar loves to you... writing!

In maintaining this we need a small group of moderators to be actively involved in keeping an eye on the room and the rules set within it. These people should be positive, helpful, online regularly, cool-headed in the face of conflict and most importantly, excited to get involved.

Applications for this role are currently: CLOSED. We will open moderator applications as and when the room requires more moderation.



Chat Room Guides

Chat Room Guides are there to welcome people to the room, instigate chat games such as Flash 5 Prompts, keep the room active and social so that when a new person enters they can see what kind of room it is, answer questions about the room and the group and generally just make chat a lovely place to be. These people should have a similar disposition to the Chat Room Moderators but without the responsibilities! Essentially, if you hang out in one chat room a lot you tend to know the chat room and its tenants very well. If you become one of those people, we want you involved in our team officially so that you can ask for our help or advice, or give feedback on how chat works for you and others at any time.

Applications for this role are currently: CLOSED. Get down to #TheWritePlace and have fun and you may be approached about this role.



Group Welcome Team

If none of these take your fancy but you still wanna get involved in our group how about joining the welcome team? The only thing you have to do in this team is welcome new members as they join and get to know them, ask them what they need from a group like this and make sure the admin are aware of our group members needs and are trying to meet 'em. If this sounds like your kinda job and you're friendly, online regularly and keen to be involved then this is a great way to get involved with us and make friends along the way!

Applications for this role are currently: CLOSED. Note PoetryOD or the group to discuss joining the Welcome Wagon!





Editing Team

We are looking for a small group of passionate individuals to help us keep our group professional looking and informative! This may include editing journals like our Rules, Archiving, answering FAQs etc. For this we're looking for passionate people with a good eye for presentation and spelling (English). A knowledge of html and journal skins would be a major plus!

Applications for this role are currently: CLOSED. Note PoetryOD or the group to discuss joining the Editing Team
