We need more Writers.

[DragonMasterX]

I don't write much because I'm lazy. Tongue That and I don't have any ideas at all.

Then help by reading and commenting when something new comes out~ You might be able to help someone or just make 'em happy and satisifed. Everyone needs a small ego boost every now and then.

Yes, I'll join in your crusade. I'll focus all my energy into working on new and unfinished material. I will be focuse, I will be determined, nothing will distract me from... hey what's that link up there? That was never there before, *clicky clicky* Awww, cute racoon.

If you feel like you cannot continue with WIP or you just are looking for ideas, it's a perfect time to review the uses of our Den of Inspiration and/or D-PAW.

Do you remember what they are for? If not, then pay attention: They are helpful to Authors and wannabethereof! Post those ideas that you wanna do but you don't feel any motivation to in the Den. Maybe a simple "You'd do great in writing that!" or a more developed: "I'd add this and that to make it even cooler!" will just pump your confidence and that's all you'll need to finish your work.

Use the D-PAW if you've been procrastinating with your half-finished or WIP project. Who knows? Maybe a member will give you fresh ideas or contents that will be just what you need to jump over a stepping stone that was setting you back.

Guys, you gotta REALIZE that we can ALL help and benefit each other from using the Author's Den forum area as it was intended to. I don't care about any Golden Age or Living in the Past. I want DaD to live on for as long as I can make it last, and one of the things that have always made it absolutely fantastic is the fact that we have the liberty and ability to talk, chat, discuss, joke around and comment about whatever contribution anyone decides to add to our community.

So if you've anything you need help with, I don't guarantee my immediate response and solution to your problems, but maybe someone else who hopefully will get spirited enough will have it. I want to have fun with DaD again, 'kay? Let's work towards making it funner!

I will agree with Mar here. There has been a huge disinterest in the Author's Den. As a whole, there is a very minimal amount of content created for the DaD. Even though Red Rover is back, he doesn't really submit new things here; only FA and SF. I have been discouraged from posting my stuff here (and GOD do I have stuff to post!) because no one seems to notice or care. Besides, the people who do care enough have a FurAffinity account, thereby voiding all reason to post it here.

We're ALL at fault for the disinterest. We gotta find a way to rekindle it. That's why we all joined here in the first place, to be or to admire DigiArtists. The concept has been broadened since when I joined back at the end of 2005 and it now allows several other fandoms as well as stuff like furries/scalies. So what. Digital Artists, that's what many of us are. So let's start making a name for us with what we can!

So seriously, everyone. Don't feel pressured or anything. Your work doesn't have to be finished or even longer than a single page of Microsoft Word. Do you have anything you want to share? Then share it! That's what the Author's Den has been made for!
