Welcome to Communal Creators, a place to band together to help each other start, work on, or finish a project in September and October. Why those months? Because while National Novel Writing Month in November made sense, once upon a time, it is a very inconvenient time to many people. Backing the timeline out to after school starts but before the push of the holidays for many was my intention.

A smaller mini-challenge is handled in March.

Admin is being held at communal_creators on Dreamwidth. The FAQ and Rules are from the comm, with this being a collection to host completed works for our members.

Sign-ups: Sept 1 - Sept 14 (Held at Dreamwidth)
Creation period: Sept 15 - October 15
* Any creators celebrating High Holidays can add the number of days of holiday before or after as well.
You CAN use projects that existed before this point, but only log the effort that goes into it during the creation period. What are acceptable creations? ANYTHING. I'm going to post various forms of accountability to try and capture as many creative types as I can. So pod / draw / vid / write that project.

The March mini-round is only a week which moves. Sign ups are also at the dreamwidth community.

1. Be respectful and be kind.
2. Concrit on any content sharing is ONLY IF THE CREATOR SPECIFICALLY ASKED FOR IT.
3. Derogatory language aimed at any marginalized person, including but not limited to those who are queer, disabled, minorities, or neurodivergent will get one warning and then a ban for a repeat offense.
4. Related to 3 - if the creation you want to share includes such, it must be linked in with full warnings on display, or rule 3 will be invoked.
5. It is strongly encouraged that if you are sharing your creations, to take the time to also comment on other creations. This is about supporting one another, so we all know we're not in a vacuum.
6. Have fun.
