People over this project: =bewarecalamity & =SesshysRose
The idea: Get 100 new or unknown deviants featured on as many journals as possible.
The date: Begins Jan. 1st. ends Dec. 2008.
My part: I will be featuring a new deviant and three of their deviations every Sunday and Wednesday in my journal.
Your part: If you get involved in this project you will have to stay subscribed to my journal and make sure to update the features in your journal. (I realize that some people don't get on dA twice a week. I'm not expecting 100% involvement, but that would be cool.)




How can I be involved in this project?
To be involved in this project means dedicated a little bit of time and journal space. That's all! Signing up to be involved means that you will be one of many deviants who feature a designated artist twice a week.

How will I know which deviant to feature?
Every Saturday you will receive a note from me containing the deviant to be featured on Sunday and the one to be featured on Wednesday. It is up to you to decide which three deviations you will feature from both of these artists.

You will also receive a standard summary of both artists. (ie: =bewarecalamity's gallery is a photomanipulation gallery that really does mean "beware, calamity".) These summaries are not required to be used. You may (and are encouraged) to write your own.

What if I become a participant during the week?

You can simply watch my journal to see what I update for on Sunday/Wednesday, or you can wait until the next Saturday.

Will there be any contests in this project?
Although there is no plans for a contest at this moment, we are discussing it.

How do I stay up to date with the project and talk to other participants?
To keep up with all current events within the project (as well as to make a suggestion), go here: [link]

What is 100D?
100D is the shortening of "The 100 Deviant Project". It is to be used accordingly.

Where can I get those 100D images for my journal header?
If you're a subscribed member you can get it here: [link]

What is the difference between a participating deviant and a featured deviant?
A participating deviant is the a deviant who notes me and decides to feature all of the predetermined deviants each week. A featured deviant is a deviant who has been featured by all people within the project.

How do I become a participant?
Note me with the subject title: 100 Deviant Project.

Can I become a participant once the project is started?
Yes, you can become a participant up until the last week of the project.



Do I have to be a subscribed member of deviantART to be a participating member?
No, if you are not a subscribed member of dA (a member who cannot post thumbs) simply post dA name links (ie: =bewarecalamity) and dA icon links.
(ie: )

I don't know how to post name and icon links.
To post a name link like =bewarecalamity post this in your journal without the spaces:
: dev bewarecalamity :

To post a name link as an icon, post this in your journal without the spaces:
: icon bewarecalamity :

What do the people who participate get?
I will be keeping a complete list of past deviants featured as well as participating deviants in my journal. This means with each journal of mine, you will be featured. Also, I will be making two news articles where I feature the first fifty featured deviants and the participating deviants in June (2008) and all featured and participating deviants in December (2008).

What if I don't approve of featuring a certain artist because of nudity/personal reasons?
You can always choose to opt out and not feature that deviant for three-four days. Please make sure to note me the reason so I can better choose deviants for features.

Can a participating deviant also be a featured deviant?
Yes! Being a participating deviant ensures that I consider your gallery for a feature in the project. However, trying to recommend yourself is an immediate disqualification (it's anti-community).

Can I donate a subscription to this cause?
Yes, please note me if you're interested in donating anything.



How do you pick the deviants to be featured? Are there any requirements?
=SesshysRose and I ultimately pick the deviants to be featured based on the creativity and composition of their gallery. Since I don't know every single deviant on dA, I am asking everyone to please ge here: [link] and make as many suggestions as possible.

Requirements for Suggestions:
- Must have less than 25,000 page views.
- Must not have a DD within the last three months. [Changed: Jan. 13th]
- Must not suggest yourself. Anyone who suggests themselves is automatically not a featured deviant. If you are a participant then you are automatically considered candidates for features.
- The deviant's gallery must offer something fresh and creative to the community.

Can I feature my friend ___?
Features should be only by the standards above. Please do not send any suggestions just because a deviant is your friend. Also, only suggestions noted from participating project members will be taken. If you want your suggestion looked at, please be involved in the project.

Can a featured deviant become a project member after they've been featured?
Yes, any deviant can become a participating deviant at any time.
