Hello everyone!!
Sorry for being relatively inactive. Real life caught up with me and I ended up abandoning this poor group on accident!!

And since we're about to reach a new year...I would like to bring it back again.

However, there's a lot of things I want to do first!!

:iconpinkbowdivplz::iconbluebowdivplz::iconrubybowdivplz::icongoldbowdivplz::iconsnowbowdivplz::iconpurplebowdivplz::iconpinkbowdivplz::iconbluebowdivplz::iconrubybowdivplz::icongoldbowdivplz::iconsnowbowdivplz::iconpurplebowdivplz:


- New Admins: I pretty much run this group by myself and it would be awesome if I could have more help! It doesn't matter if you have had experience with a group or not, all the help would be appreciated ^^ I don't know how many new admins I'll be taking on, but please consider applying!! If you're interested, please note/comment with this filled out form!


-Have you had experience with managing a group before? Please explain if you can!
-How active are you usually?
-Why are you interested in applying?
-And just for fun! Who's your favorite Madoka character?


-Organization: I admit the organization in this group is a bit lax. I don't want to become too controlling, but I'll probably have to revise a few rules and organize the folders a bit! I promise it won't be anything too crazy ^^

-Possible Events: To bring this group back to life, we need events!! If you have any ideas, that would be appreciated!!

- A weird issue: This isn't part of my to-do list, but I feel like I have to let yall know about this issue! Since the original founder deactivated, my position in this group is being a Co-founder. I tried to get the Founder status before, but it required an admin vote, and I'm sadly the only active admin! Once I bring in new admins, I'll have to talk about that issue a bit more.


And that's about it! If you have any other suggestions for the group, please leave them in the comments.
I sincerely apologize for my inactivity, but I'll do my best to get this group running again!

Thank you and happy holidays!! <33

Hey everybody! Our previous founder, RindouBlades, has stepped down from the position, believing it's time to move on from dA. Because of this, I am now the new founder of this group!

Since SweetPlushieCake did not promote RindouBlades before deactivating, I'm kinda stuck as a co-founder in the actual group ^^; However, it shouldn't stop me from managing the group!

As of right now, expect the group to continue running as it was previously!
Personally, one of my own goals is to sort through the folders and move artwork to their proper place. Here's a little reminder to try and submit artwork to the proper folder, okay?

I'd also like to continue getting feedback through Google sheets whenever I'm able to set a new one up.

Thanks for reading everyone! Keep on submitting your fantastic work! <33 Feel free to comment or send a note if you have any suggestions or feedback!

First of all, thank you for your patience in the beginning process of getting the group active again! School has been very stressful, and I'm in the middle of moving to California.

It's been almost 2 months since I uploaded this journal, so I hope everyone who wanted to provide their input has gotten the chance to.

:bulletpink:Survey Results:bulletpink:
  • How do you feel about this group?
    Half said they liked it as it is, while the other half would like more interaction.
    • One person said that they liked the idea of using Google surveys as polls, so I suppose we'll continue to use them :)

  • From a scale of 1-5, how much would you like to see the following group features?
    • Commission Promotion: 1 person submitted 2 and 5 people submitted 3
      • I suppose we'll let go of this idea!

    • Contests: 2 people submitted 4 and 4 people submitted 5

    • News Updates: 1 person submitted 3, 1 person submitted 4, and 4 people submitted 5


  • Contest Preferences:
    • 50% would like another halloween themed contest

    • 50% would like year round contests for each holiday

    • 0% would like to have no holiday themed contests

    • 66.7% would like contests only from time to time

    • 66.7% would like different ideas every year for each holiday contest

    • 33.3% would like same ideas every year for each holiday contest

  • Other questions or suggestions people would like to speak on:
    • I'm pretty new to deviantart so I don't really know how it works. Is something like an active group forum possible?
      That's a really good question! Deviantart Forums are a thing, but I'm not sure if others would like that idea or are comfortable with the forums at all. In fact, I'm not even familiar with how they function. So I'll leave you all to decide :) (I'll get back to this later)


By those results, we can all think of multiple ways to meet halfway with everyone.

:bulletpurple:If half of the people would like the group to stay as it is while the other half would like more interaction, then we can operate the group in a way so that people who'd rather just like to submit art into the gallery will not be obliged to participate in the group's activities. We'll keep our notifications for contests and other features limited, and the titles for such things won't be demanding unless it has to do with a change in rules, major modifications in the group that would effect everyone regardless, etc.

:bulletpurple:We will not be featuring commission promotions for now, but if there is a high demand for it later this decision can be negotiated.

:bulletpurple:Contests will definitely be a must! Please read the whole journal if you want further input regarding on how we will do contests!

:bulletpurple:In order for the least amount of notifications for those who would not like new updates, we will only upload news when they are warranted. If you have a Madoka Magica resource that you think would help contribute well to this feature, please let us know.
  • If Madoka Magica news becomes rapid, a monthly update shall take place.


:bulletpurple:Access to blog entries will have to be talked out with, I'm afraid. If you have something to say about this one, please stick around till the end of the journal!

:bulletpurple:Holiday themed contests will be the same every year, BUT, we will think of different contests throughout the year between the holidays. In my opinion, not all holidays should be subject to contests here, like Thanksgiving or St. Patrick's Day, but please keep reading the journal in order for your input on this to be made :)

If there are any ways that you think would be a better solution to compromising with all of the opinions shown in the results, please comment on the journal!

:bulletpink:More suggestions:bulletpink:

Ever since my journal before, more suggestions for the group have been reached out to us that I failed to touch on.

  • Art features: Admins will choose their favorite art submitted in the month that will be featured in a journal.
    • Pros: Unrecognized artists will get recognition for their work!

    • Cons: Clogs up more notifications

  • Critiques: Members of the group will reach out to us that they'd like their specific art to be critiqued by other members.
    • Pros: Artists will be able to have a thoughtful discussion between eachother and will take good strides to improve, and especially helpful for those who do not have premium membership for the critiquing feature. And again, unrecognized artists will get recognition for their work

    • Cons: Again, clogs up more notifications, and people may abuse their power to do this by bashing others or technically having their art featured (in the case that both features to the group are agreed to be added)

  • WIP Folder: An additional folder for artists to submit their work in progress.
    • Pros: Artists can take a look at the creative process of other artists



I've made another Google Form that will help you easily send your opinion on each of the new aforementioned group suggestions, along with opinions for which holidays to be made as contests and on access to blog entries here!: goo.gl/forms/QiIp6FJxernX2U4W2

If you would not like to speak on all of those things, then you can of course just write a comment on the journal :]

Again, thank you for your patience and I hope everyone who has something to say will come out and tell their piece!

About 2 years ago, SweetPlushieCake messaged me to look after the group so they could properly take care of themselves, as they were struggling with major health issues. Unfortunately, I haven't heard from them since.

For a while, I tried to do the best I could going through each folder everyday to make sure that submissions were being put in the right place, but over time, I couldn't maintain the strong love I had for Madoka Magica, and essentially forgot about the group all together. I still love the original series and I'm sure it'll stick with me forever, but interests change, and I don't have the dedication to keep up with every single update.

However, I feel guilty for leaving the group alone for all this time, and SweetPlushieCake certainly didn't want that in their absence (at the time at least--i legitimately don't know about their whereabouts at all and I cannot speak personally for them). I planned to start up that Halloween contest we did again that year, but Halloween came and went and I forgot. I wanted to start up another sort of holiday themed contest to compensate, but in the end, I didn't know what the group wanted, and I didn't communicate to fix that. That's my fault.

One thing I do clearly see fit to change is the submission process. Submissions will no longer be automatically accepted for the administrators to be the ones to correctly place them. This just means we have to see your stuff first before being put into the gallery, and if we decline it, we'll tell you where to correctly put it.

Other than that, I still don't know a thing about what to do here. I'm completely in the dark about what's going on within the Madoka Magica fandom, whether it be how active it is, the status of the movie series, if there even is another movie coming out, etc. I don't know what any of you care about and what you want to see in a group.

tldr; I'm not fit to be the fundamental founder of the group and I need to know what you all want.

So please leave a comment for any questions or suggestions you might have! If you want to be an admin, message me and we'll work things out together!

I've also made a Google Survey which you can fill out here if you feel more comfortable with specific options.
