New 2011 Details! All FC Members Please Read!!

Hey there! I hope all 2800+ of you had a wonderful holiday season and ready to bring in the new year! Not surprisingly, Feature-Club is looking to do the same!

Earlier this month, I proposed the idea to further "open the window" of how we open submissions at Feature-Club. A lot of you were definitely open to the idea, so I figured I'd explain a bit of the finer details in this journal.

As you know, in the past we've been letting in groups of five deviations every day. I feel this is still a solid number; we're accepting enough deviations to move the flow fast enough, but not too many to bog you guys down. After all, the purpose of FC has always been to expose the art of our members, and we feel this method has worked really well.

Another Feature-Club custom has been to open submissions on the 1st, 11th, and 21st of every month. But for the last couple of months, I've noticed that after the first 20-25 submissions come in, they stop for a while, and not until I post that we still have half the slots open do the slots eventually fill up.

So here's what I'm proposing:

Starting on January 1st, 2011, Feature-Club will open submissions on the 1st, 6th, 11th, 16th, 21st, and 26th of every month, but decrease the number of deviations we let through during each day to 25. This way, we still keep the rate of 5 submissions accepted a day, but our ongoing problem of many of our members having issues not being able to submit, is closer to being solved.

Hopefully this will make Feature-Club be even better in 2011!! If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to comment or note me! I'm all ears!

Thanks for reading, and here's to a fantastic new year of sharing art!
