CHECK YOUR SUBMISSIONS, PLEASE!
A reminder that it takes time out of the admins' day to respond to and sort our submissions, so your help really makes it possible for us to manage the workload. Our last club news post was an announcement about some
club policy changes because the current workload for the admins is a bit much for both full time jobs + moderation. We very much enjoy contributing to this Group, and hope to continue to provide you with the best BioWare fan works available with your help. We really appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Thanks!
Illustrated Art Submission GuidelinesOk. We get it that you’re busy. And maybe don’t have a lot of time to read. But here at the club, we’re trying to keep up with our motto to collect the best of the best by fans, for fans, you know? So we gotta have standards. Yup, standards. And we’re not trying to say you shouldn’t submit anything just because you’re not a pro. But we do want to see the best of what you’ve got when you submit!
To make things easy, we’re updating our posting guidelines with pictures! You’ll probably still want to read our full guidelines if you’re a rules stickler (and also if you get declined) but we’ll go over the basics.
The number one and most important rule: The BioWare Fan Club will only accept FAN created work fully done by you, digitally or traditionally. We’re not picky about whether you drew it by hand or as a photo-manipulation, but it does need to s

It's always sad to get a rejection in your inbox, and we don't like giving them out, either. But your acceptance of this club's membership comes with acceptance of our rules and submission guidelines. Reviewing the guidelines in advance informs you of what you can or can't submit, and gives you advance notice of what might be rejected.
The guidelines are not meant to discourage submissions. To make it a great club experience for all, however, the Admins here have made a few assumptions:

BioWare Fan Club ValuesHi folks! There has been a some debate about copyright issues in association with fanart on the BioWare communities lately. Without naming any names, I want to set folks straight on what we do and do not allow as a fan community, and how to protect yourself as a fan writer and artist.
Our humble BioWare Fan Club began as a handful of fans who really loved all things BioWare. We just wanted to have a place to share our fan created artworks and stories. It’s been amazing that we have since grown into a real community with hundreds of members. Wow.
As a club, we don't claim credit for creating the worlds or the characters, and do not try to profit commercially from our works. The joy of having a fan community is to be able to share, and indulge in your love of a shared universe. I very much want to keep the BioWare Fan Club as a SAFE place to share and express our mutual appreciation of BioWare works. Please join me in keeping it positive.
We’re a Fan Comm

David Gaider Gives Talk on Sex in Video Games at GDC
If you missed the event and haven't caught up on the Game Developer's Conference (GDC) news, how about a straight shot to one of the highlights of the event? David Gaider gave a talk
on sex in video games, and no, it wasn't about boobs and stuff.
“The moment [BioWare] broached the subject of romance and sex, we were saying something about what was acceptable, and what was normal, and who we thought our audience was,” said Gaider. “We said that whether we wanted to say anything or not. We said it by virtue of what we included, as well as what we didn’t include. Those were statements.”
Read the article summary
has come up with
a Machinima based on David Gaider's The Calling! (Machinima is a genre of using video games to animate stories.)
The Calling takes place some 20 years before the events of Dragon Age, and is the story of how Duncan first met and befriended Maric, as well as the backstory behind the Blight events in
Dragon Age: Origins.
Always wanted to know the story but was too lazy to read it yourself? Let
do all the work for you in this cleverly animated adaptation. Well, Episode 1 anyway. Worth a look!
