We're a Group Now

Sat Dec 26, 2009, 4:12 PM by =peterdawes:iconpeterdawes:
After a long time spent in hiatus, the club is back and better than ever. We have converted over to the new groups system, which is a breath of fresh air as far as this founder is concerned.

I remain open to any comments, questions, or recommendations you might have with regard to the future of this group. Please continue sharing what you would like to see happen and how you might like to be a part. In the meantime, here are a few items of note:

:blackrose: Future Contests
I want to bring contests back, but first, I need to know what others would be willing to contribute as far as prizes are concerned. Also, what sort of contest would you like to see?

:blackrose: Writing Prompts
We'll also be bringing back the monthly writing prompt. I would like to add a little incentive toward having you all take the plunge toward attempting it, though. Perhaps a special feature?

:blackrose: Follow Us on Twitter
For those of you tweet-savvy, I have created an account to help remind you of monthly writing prompts, contests, and other items of note concerning both vampires and vampire fiction. You can find us @vampirewriters.

That is all for now, friends, watchers, and fellow villains.
Peter (=peterdawes)

Greetings, All

Journal Entry: Sun Jun 21, 2009, 7:09 PM


Darkest Greetings, Visitor :blackrose:

Welcome to our coven of writers! This group is dedicated to the immortal underground of prose and poetry writers, all with an affection for the fanged and the macabre. Leave your stakes and your crosses at the door and enter; but beware. . . our writing can sneak up and bite you, especially if we're in a particularly bloody mood.

The ground rules are simple: The works on this page are all property of the authors themselves, not the club. Please comment and fav on the author's original piece. If you wish to join, please note that all submissions must be vampiric in nature, somehow. How you choose to interpret that is up to you. :D

To Join

- Send a note to us with "Join" in the subject line.
- Place our icon somewhere on your page. ( : iconvampirewriters : without the spaces)
- Add us to your friends list.
- We will add you to our friends list in return.

Submitting Your Work

- Obviously, you must first be a member of the club. See above for instructions on how to join.
- Note us with "Submission" in the subject line.
- Include, in your note, where we can find your submission on your page.
- Please, only one submission per note. We will get to your submission as quickly as possible. You can send multiple submissions, but note that we will pace placing these submissions up in our gallery.

Please note: Novelists are welcome to submit their works here, but we shall only post longer works a chapter at a time, during regular updates.

General Rules

- While we are not literary snobs, we still ask you to spell check your work and read through it for obvious grammar errors, if possible. It's very, very hard to read something littered with typos.
- Submissions should have something to do with the theme of this club. While we appreciate and respect all literature, submissions to VampireWriters must involve vampires somehow. If you have other content you would like to submit, then please investigate our affiliates and the club directories for appropriately-themed groups.
- Violence, language, and mature content are acceptable, however any erotica must be within the guidelines established by deviantArt.
- Fan fiction is ok, so long as credit to the original author is cited in your author's notes.

Affiliates

We are more than willing to partner with other clubs as affiliates! Simply send a note to *VampireWriters or =peterdawes with your club's link and, if we agree to be affiliates, we will place your icon upon our page and ask that you do the same for us in return.

updates on the way

Fri Mar 20, 2009, 8:48 AM by =peterdawes:iconpeterdawes:
greetings fair coven full of immortals, vampire lovers, miscreants, and wordsmiths,
i apologize for being remiss in my duties as your coven master. due to a variety of problems, trials, and tribulations in my personal affairs, i have not been present for some time.

that is about to change.

in the days following, i shall be sorting through unread notes, posting submissions, adding new members, and bringing order to our fair coven again. there shall be some revision of the rules and added things such as regular features on our main page. in the meantime, however, i need two things from you.

1. contest ideas. i wish to host another contest and need a theme. also, tell me what prizes you feel should be offered and which ones you would be willing to offer yourself, if any.

2. moderators. i need one or two dependable helpers to keep this club in order. send a note to either this account or *thepoetvampire if you are interested in assisting me with moderating duties.

also, please feel free to note and comment with suggestions, requests, and anything else you can think of, so i can improve this community and make it yours, my friends. thank you for your patience with me.

to new beginnings,
peter (*thepoetvampire)

For our novelists: Update: If you are submitting chapters for a novel, then please limit your submission to the first two chapters of your book. This ensures we are not filling members' watch lists with chapters, but also allows you to gain exposure for your work.
We suggest adding links to your novel submissions that allow the reader to navigate through your book when they visit your page from ours. (Such as "Next Chapter" and "Previous Chapter".)

Monthly Writing Prompt

Every month, we feature a special writing prompt for those of you looking for prose/poetic inspiration. This is our current suggestion:

* Stalking a mortal; the fine art of a vampire, at times done with more urgency and other times, more finesse. Depict the attack, making certain to focus on the events leading up to the bite.
