About

  • Icons using artwork by the fan artist Haruka Sena will not be tolerated in this community. Read more about this in this community's Memory entry.
  • Fanart and fanfic challenges are welcome, but let's not glut the place at one time with them, okay? Some members have full-time jobs or go to school or both and it may be difficult finding time to participate in more than one or two attractive challenges per month.
  • Please remember the importance of first impressions. The entries you post make a lasting impression on your fellow community members, particularly for writers. Use of capital letters and standard spelling/grammar is appreciated.
  • In order to keep this community friendly and on-topic, we would like it to be as Gravi-specific as possible. Other anime/manga should not be discussed here, except when being used to compare art styles, character similarities, etc. to Gravitation. Feel free to open discussions about Gravi plot comparisons, character analysis, and themes.
  • Whenever you post a drabble, drawing, fanfic, or link to your writing or artwork, please attempt to take the time to let the community know what kind of feedback you prefer. Why should you consider doing this?
    • People with opinions will know how softly to approach the author/artist.
    • Hopefully, lurkers will be encouraged to comment.
    • Sensitive authors/artists need not fear harsh critics.
    • Harsh critics need not fear a sensitive author/artist will hate him/her forever.
    • Authors/artists who honestly want to improve will get the kind of feedback they desire without fear readers are just praising them to be kind.
    • Authors/artists who are writing just for fun and personal enjoyment will not see criticism they're not interested in accepting.

Naturally, all authors/artists enjoy hearing praise and we expect all forms of criticism to be given and received politely. Ideally, comments at every level will include something nice about a fanfic or piece of artwork. Keeping that in mind, here are some suggested terms:

    • Full-contact concrit -- you want criticism on everything from spelling and mechanics to opinions about whether the characters were OoC.
    • Moderate concrit-- you would like to hear gentle criticism, or criticism tempered with plenty of encouragement for good aspects of your writing/artwork.
    • Some concrit-- If someone would like to point out one or maybe two things upon which you can improve, you'll take it into consideration.
    • No concrit-- If someone has something bad to say about your writing/artwork, you don't want to hear it.
