🎨🖋️ 2. Creativity Comes First

  • Writing and art are treated as equal forms of creativity.

  • Do not shame, pressure, or belittle others based on their preferred medium or skill level.

  • Constructive feedback is welcome only if requested by the creator.

  • AI work of any kind is never allowed.

This group exists to encourage creativity, not competition.
