Hello, and welcome to


:icondare-to-differ:

I'm FedoraType, our founder. I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the group, a project that's been a while in brainstorming. You see, this group was founded around the belief that the artists who challenge the status quo or branch out from the norm, as well as express themselves freely without considering others' opinions, are the artists who end up changing the world. If you consider yourself to be an artist of this persuasion, then this may well be the home for you; you can be assured that your writing will be welcomed with open arms.

"Art changes people, and people change the world."

Frequently Asked Questions



:bulletred: Q: What kinds of art does this group accept?
:bulletblack: A: We have been founded as a literature group; to host poetry, prose, essays, song lyrics, etc. We may be open to more varied forms in the future, as we get enough administrators to handle the extra requests and traffic that this would lead to.

:bulletred: Q: How many deviations may I submit per day?
:bulletblack: A: Each member is allowed three (3) deviation submissions per day; this is a reasonable number and is used to ensure that the art submitted will be of a better quality. Contributors can submit up to five (5) deviations per day. Please note that all submission limits are subject to change based on group activity and other factors.

:bulletred: Q: Will there be contests?
:bulletblack: A: Naturally! As the group begins to gain momentum, we'll begin to host contests, release themes and plan other events. I already have ~100 :points: saved up for prizes in our first contest, and prize donations will be taken for a couple weeks prior to each contest.

:bulletred: Q: Are CF and Contributor positions open?
:bulletblack: A: The answer to this question may change rather frequently, but here's the current status of either:

:bulletgreen: = Open | :bulletyellow: = Trial Period/By Invite Only | :bulletred: = Closed

    Co-Founders: :bulletyellow:
    Contributors: :bulletgreen:

Send me a note to talk more about either of these.

Rules for Submissions



:bulletblack: Most importantly, submissions must embrace, in some way, one of the following themes or ideas; non-conformity, freedom, liberty, equality and human rights, tolerance of others' beliefs, independence, unrestrained self-expression, inspiration to change, awareness of oppression, injustice, doing what you feel is right, or courage and bravery. This list may be amended as time goes on.

:bulletred: No erotic pieces. There may be a time in which we choose to accept submissions of this type, but in order to keep this group properly focused, it's best to save those for when we take on more administrators.

:bulletblack: Submit to the correct folder. If you feel like there is a folder that needs to be added to our gallery, simply note Unfuck-the-World or one of our other admins and it should be taken care of.

:bulletred: Stick to the submission limit. The quality of your art, and not the quantity of works produced, will define you more as an artist than anything else. We're not doing you any favors by simply hosting half-effort pieces; ensuring quality in our submissions is as vital to the group's success as it is to the success of you as an artist.

:bulletblack: If there are any questions about submissions, or you're not sure how to do something, simply send a note to Unfuck-the-World or any of the other administrators and they should be happy to help.
