OTHER OFFICIAL NEWS:

Literature

Remember that the mods have decided to start faving literature, so if any of our members have read some good phanfic here on dA let the club know. Some basic rules for literature submissions:

1. The works must meet dA's submission policies, especially on mature works (see their policy page here: [link]).
2. Completed works are preferred (there is nothing worse than waiting for installments that never come bec the author has tired of the story ).
3. Almost any type is acceptable: Canon, Alternate Universe, Continuations, Sequels, Crossovers, One-shots, Poetry, Vignettes, etc.
4. *Remember* We are an all age group, so either keep it clean or have the appropriate mature tag in place *and* have a sex/violence warning at the top of the submission.
5. The decision of the mods on any particular submission is final.

Thanks Everyone

+ Announced on the 9th of March there is going to be a sequel to the Broadway smash Phantom of the Opera. While Andrew Lloyd Webber didn't reveal much he did say that the new musical will be set in New York City and that he's in talks with "Phantom in Manhattan" writer Frederick Forsyth about story ideas. Here is his video announcement:

If you'd like to read more about this I found an article that sums things up:

+ Poll Results: Our Devious Members voted overwhelming against a second Phantom Musical based on the book Phantom of New York. Seems like AWL may be barking up the wrong tree.

+ We would like to ask everyone to not "favorite" the pieces we have shown on our page. Please follow the link to the original artist's page and give them one there. Truly it's not fair for us to get their glory. So please please tell your friends and spread it around!
