Q: Why was I denied from joining the group?From September 18, 2011 to October 28, 2011, the policy was to not accept any members that did not clearly demonstrate having read the rules in the note which automatically comes up when you try to join the group. Unfortunately, people were bitches about this rule, and although it was made to lessen my work load, it increased it by about tenfold. The group is now open to all joining requests again, simply because I don't have the time to field them and deal with all the silly people on the internet.
Q: What kind of art may I submit?We only accept art that has to do with bisexuality. It can get a bit vague, but as long as it has something to do with your sexuality and your identity (or that of your bisexual characters) and it's high quality work, it should be accepted. If you're ever unsure, you can always ask me. That being said, I have to turn down a lot of artwork because it's unoriginal/not enough effort has been put into it. If it's just a paint drawing with the words "i like being bisexual" on it or something, it will not be accepted. Take a look at the reasons why submissions are most frequently denied, and keep that in mind when you submit!
We do not currently accept memes of any variety.Q: What happens if I change sexual orientation and I'm a member of this group?Lots of people have their orientation evolve and change as they get to know themselves better. Please leave our group as a member, but feel free to continue watching us. This is a home for bisexuals to share their talents, but we're glad for any amount of time you spent with us on your journey.
Q: Why are you trying to become a Super Group?As a Super Group, I will be able to run the group much more smoothly, and the members will be able to enjoy it in a whole new way. Unfortunately, I do not currently have a steady job (I'm a student!) and when I do get money, I need to put it into savings! Plus, I think it would be much cooler if we could all pool our money together to get the job done, instead of me holding the group up on my own.
Q: Who can I talk to about _____?Currently I, *
jmmlewis, am the group's SINGULAR ADMINISTRATOR. There is no other official authority in this group to go to. Of course, you're more than welcome to discuss your problems in regards to bisexuality with other people, but if there is any sort of dispute over a submission or any other questions or comments about #
being-bi specifically, you are to speak to me directly via note.
Q: Why was my submission denied?All submission denials can be contested in the comments section of the submission process. There are a myriad of reasons I don't accept deviations, including: useless erotica/smut, lack of effort shown, poor structure in literary pieces, topics unrelated to bisexuality. That being said, my decision is final, and I will no tolerate members getting fussy over it. If you are rude in your questioning of why a deviation was denied, I will not hesitate to ban you from the group.
Q: Why are you so mean?I'm not! :3 I'm just a girl from Canada trying to keep a group running smoothly that is quickly approaching the 1 000 member mark. I can't get too personal.
