Deviation Actions
Updated Oct. 14, 2013
Q: Why do you only accept bisexual/bicurious members?
Acceptance of only bisexual members has been an ideal in our group from the beginning. By no means is this a movement to seclude ourselves from any other communities or people; it is simply a step to create a safe environment for those who are like-minded. In groups for writers or photographers, only writers and photographers are invited to join. Why should we be any different? Bisexual and pansexual people deserve a place where they can be themselves, without any of the prejudices and stereotypes that are prevalent in both the gay and straight communities.
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, this rule was not met with a very positive reception, and so we now accept all applications for membership. Those who clearly state that they are bisexual/questioning are very much appreciated, but you will no longer be denied as a member of the group for ignoring the suggestion to say so.
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. 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 my sexual identity changes?
Lots of people have their identity 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: Who can I talk to about _____?
Questions about how the group is run, deviation queries, and general questions about bisexuality may be sent to jmmlewis.
Questions about the groups rules and resources can be forwarded to KnittedBunny.
Questions and worries that you're seeking advice on can be sent to DeeTay, our support team leader.
Questions about the Facebook group can be sent to jmmlewis or the forthcoming FB moderators.
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.
We're always looking for more help in terms of links, interesting articles, conversation points, etc. - so if you're interested in taking on an administrative position, either comment here or send a Note to jmmlewis!

The End of an Era
Hello, everyone!
Since I haven't posted anything to this journal in two years, you may not be familiar with who I am. My name's Jay, and I opened this group seven years ago in an effort to create a safe space for bisexual creators to share and discuss their work. Within the first year of being open, we had already hit 1,000 members, and I was truly thrilled!
Unfortunately, this group stopped being fun for me years ago. Although I have tried many times to put out the call for help, I've really only lucked out once or twice with people who consistently follow through on the work they've signed on for (you know who you are, and I'm intensely g
Discussion: Bisexual vs. Pansexual
Hey everyone!
Just as a reminder, here's a breakdown of the guide to behaving well in Discussion Topics:
:bulletpink: Calm, respectful discussion. I don't want any bitch fights or "yelling" or prejudice.
Remember that we all have our sexuality in common, but we're all going to have different opinions.
If we don't take the step to respect each other, no one will ever respect us.
:bulletpink: Suggest! If you have something you want to see us discuss formally, leave a comment
about it or note me! I'd love to know what you want to talk about. But please don't open another
discussion thread in these comments specifically.
That's it. Be nice
Happy Four Years!
Happy Fourth Anniversary, Bisexuals of deviantART! :love::boogie::dalove::squee:
I am, admittedly, four days behind the actual anniversary of January 10th, but I think I can cut myself some slack considering I was recently in a car accident and now I'm moving. :phew: Don't worry, I'm fine, and life is only looking up-and-up!
Now, I know that I have not given this group the attention it deserves in recent years. I want you all to know that I continue to be impressed and moved by your kindness, support, and fabulous talent and creativity. I wish that I could personally comment on and welcome each and every person who joins our ranks. You guys
Being Bi YouTube!
Well hello there, friends!
Our brand is expanding! Next up, YouTube!
So here's the idea: I want us to have testimonies from our members, interviews with bisexual leaders, bisexual musicians, updates on the group and our events, and more! It's something I'm very passionate about and looking forward to doing, but it means that I'll need help!
So, are any of you willing to help run a YouTube channel? Creating content, mostly. What would you be willing to do? Please post here! I'd also love to hear your suggestions on what you'd like to see on our YouTube, so please let us know! I'm very excited to move in this new direction with our group, an
