Deviation Actions
And so, we have more important updates. Seriously, read this.
We originally had a rule that you may only post the first three chapters of long-term works (i.e. chapter book, particularly long stuff, etc.). We had this rule to make browsing easier for people wishing to find a good book they might be interested in.
However, it seems that this has been doing more harm than good. Submissions ended up impractical for members, and some have complained that they wish to see even more of a book. Therefore, I have decided to abolish this rule. That's right, you may now submit your full story.
So, this new rule may or may not be temporary. What do you think? Do you think we should keep our old rule, or should we have the freedom to post as many chapters as desired?
Also, I am still on vacation. Group activity will be VERY unpredictable. Unfortunately, there will be many inconveniences for the next couple weeks. We apologize for this. Please, bear with us.
Now, for the Theme of the Week... Fright
Fear, terror, frustration, startling, it goes by many names. What scares you? What doesn't scare you?
Let's explore frightening things, things that just make you cringe.
That's all for this week. I hope you enjoy this Theme and find our new rule more practical.
My inspiration be with you,
Kiarorin

Theme of the Week: Rodents
They're either cute and quirky pets, mischievous and fun-loving. Or they're feral, sick vermin, and fearful of people.
Rodents are very individualistic creatures. Each breed behaves differently. And then each rodent itself all have different personalities. Whether aggressive or sweet, you just can't resist that adorable face.
So what about you? What kind of story or poem can you make with the thought of a teeny tiny mouse or a big ol' beaver? Is it a little pet in cage, being fed the sweetest strawberries and dancing in a human hand? Or is it the plague-ridden rat hiding in the walls?

Theme of the Week: Freeze
From the cold regions of Antarctica to your kitchen refrigerator, our writing will be frozen solid this week.
Sometimes the peaceful rain is refreshingly cool after a hot season. Sometimes you leave that steak in the freezer too long and it gets frostbitten. Sometimes the blizzard kills you with hypothermia. Sometimes depression makes one feel nothing but ice. Sometimes love can melt your cold heart. And sometimes a dish is best served cold.
So get out there and imagine something freezing! Don't forget to wear a sweater.

Theme of the Week: Regret
We've all done things that we regret. Don't you sometimes wish you could reverse time to mend the ills? To have DONE something you should have done? What about your dear characters?
We're on the topic of deep regrets here. The idea of wishing that one could wish they never did what they have done. But this can apply to anyone; you, your neighbor, your little brother, your original characters, anyone.
Regrets feel bad, but they help shape your morality. Just the fact that you regret it means that you know better.

Theme of the Week: Scope
Need to see something very far away? Use a telescope. Need to see something too small for the naked eye? Use a microscope. Whether it's close or far, a scope can help you find what you seek. Even eye glasses are a type of scope. Look through that lens - small or large - what do you see? What do you hope to find?
Magnify your inspiration and snipe your idea. Find your focus, and record your findings.
Happy writings,

I like this in the fact that if I find a story that I want to follow, I don't always remember to go and check the artists page for when it is posted. This way if it is sent to my inbox, I can follow it more easily! Some of the writers, I don't actually want to follow. I just want to keep up with that one story they are doing. So, by just watching the group and waiting for their entries, I win both ways
And as a writer, I feel like I can get the rest of my story seen by being able to submit more chapters of it. So I do like this rule! Thanks!
