The Collaboration Folder:
Remember all the way back in late 2012 when we had the first State of the Wagon Address and we planned a Collaborations folder? Well, not shortly after, we met a lot of red tape and the collaborations folder was never made.
Now, roughly a year and a half later, the red tape's been cut and The Collaborations Folder is now LIVE! The collab folder is also open to affiliates, so if you're apart of any of the Walfas clubs, feel free to use it as well. If you're not part of the community, we can approve of projects that seem relevant to the group.
How it works: Make a journal entry regarding the project and submit it. From there, you're basically in charge of running it yourself.
Got a project you need help on? Post it there!
Need a beta-reader or beta-watcher? Post it there!
Want to start your own contest? Post it there!
Need a co-writer? Post it there!
And lastly, want to get more active in the community? Jump into a project there!
Folders:
Some of you may have noticed that with the new administration hard at work, submission times have been sped up by 500%. However, with the submissions sped up, it also means submitting something to the wrong folder will either get rejected more quickly or misfiled more quickly.
So, here's a list of folders and what they are supposed to do:
Featured: The cream of the crop: either outstanding comics, useful tutorials, amazing props, or important announcements. Only admins have access to this, but feel free to suggest featured stuff if you run by something great.
Animu Faces: For avatars made with the Anime Face maker thingies.
Collaboration Personals: As stated before, for project collab announcements.
Comics: Exactly what it says on the tin: narrative comics. Single screenshots do not count, but Far Side-style one-panel comics with dialogue might count if it feels right.
Comics Archives: Once we hit our limit, the old comic folders are archived. Nobody can submit to these, but they contain all of our older comics.
Contest Winners: The winners of the previous contest. Only admins can move stuff here.
Contests: The official WSW contests. Please follow the rules, or your submission will be deleted. The contest folder is locked between contests to ensure nobody uploads things to this folder by accident. It is up to the admins hosting or co-hosting the contest folder to lock/unlock it. Affiliates are encouraged to join, as these contests are open to the Walfas community in-general.
Custom Walfas: Props, backgrounds, and other custom items for create.swf.
DNA Gallery: Character DNA with images to show you what they look like.
DVD Bonus Contest - Videos: For Walfas videos (mostly, at least). These are mainly just links to YouTube vids.
Fanfiction: Written works. These require no approval, as we tend to be very blunt about reviewing fanfiction around here.
Fanwork Submissions: For fanart of original characters.
Huggles: Part of the huggles meme: hug a person!
Inside The Station Wagon: True/partly true stories about the WSW/Walfas community. Not-real stories go under comics.
Love Pillow Shenanigans: Part of the love pillow meme.
Other: Single screenshots, pictures, previews, and anything that's not a comic.
Persona 4: For Persona 4 related art.
Pretty Pretty Contagion: A proto-club-wide Tennis, hosted by MiniWitch3. Witness the WSW take on the army of Pretty Pretty Ponies. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll... um... mostly laugh.
Questions and Answers: For Ask Blogs and such.
Spell Cards: Recreating danmaku patterns or fighting game spell cards in create.swf.
Station Wagon Love Children: DNA splicing of Touhou characters, Author avatars, and beyond. Here's a guide on how to do it.
Table Flipping: Part of the Table Flipping meme: flip a table at somebody, something, or anything. It's commonly seen as the easiest place to start in the group since you can basically greet people by flipping tables at them.
Touhou: For non-Walfas Touhou fanart.
Touhou Hijacks: For when you tag a real location with something Touhou related (but please, keep it legal).
Touhou Life Results: Based on the Touhou Life Meme. Make a comic about your results using the Touhou Life generator.
Tutorials: Visual guides on how to do virtually anything.
Twilight of the Hakurei: A club-wide Walfas tennis, inspired by Pretty Pretty Contagion. Join the Hakurei clan and all sorts of youkai through post-apocalyptic Gensokyo as they get whittled down one by one by ruthless villains. Will continue until the whole cast is dead.
What we look like: Exactly what it says on the tin: this is what we look like in real life.
We still have quite a lot of work ahead of us in April, but so-far-so-good; especially after that rough March. We'll keep you posted on any other new developments, and if you got any suggestions/concerns, post them in the comments below.
Happy Walfasing,

NaNoWriMo 2019: Read a Book.
Here's the last bit of advice before I go off to start my novel, and it's the least brought up out there.
Read a really good book.
It will make you fall in love with literature, with storytelling, and will give you morale and inspiration to write your manuscript. Simple advice, but it goes a long way. So go on, have a good story, so you can make a good story.
I'll try to do NaNoWriMo streams whenever I can. I'll be on YouTube and Twitch, so keep an eye out.
NaNoWriMo 2019: Falling in Love with Your Story
Most of y'all have an idea of what genre of novel you're writing next month. Some are writing a dystopian scifi. Others are writing fanfiction. While others are writing a porn parody*. Well, I have some shock news for every one of you who are doing NaNoWriMo:
You're writing a romantic comedy.
It's a tale about a writing hobbyist who gets thrust into a relationship with a story they barely know about, and over the course of about a month (Or a little more if they're prepping) tries to cope with suddenly being married to this project. What wacky hijinks will ensue?
It's quite difficult to write a novel when you're not in love with it. You ha
Welcome to the New Youtu-- I mean NaNoWriMo 2019!
It's that time of year again, time for me (and some other Walfasers) to throw together a novel in a single month (Starting next month!).
I hopped on the website the other day, and hoo is it bad. The website takes several seconds to load, it's hard to submit information, and they deleted your buddies list. Now we have to re-add each other on the NaNoWriMo website if we want to keep tabs on each other. Hopefully, this won't slow us down in making a novel by the end of November. So roll call! Who's doing NaNoWriMo this year?
I'll try to keep y'all updated on both novel progress and how to get through the website as I find it more. I'll be a lo
NaNoWriMo 2018: Back into the Hype
It's that time of year again. While everyone else is getting spoopy, the real writers stay up at real writer hours to prep for National Novel Writing Month. And a few of us in the Wagon are prepared to write themselves a 50,000-word story through the month of November. So get hype!
So here are the NaNoWriMo porjects for 2018 so far in the Wagon:
(Untitled) by Gii828 (https://www.deviantart.com/gii828) - a Viking period piece about an assassination of a rogue jarl gone awry when one Viking betrays another, and now he must clear his name and get revenge.
Lanes of Chalk by Rumiflan (https://www.deviantart.com/rumiflan) - a contemporary noir mystery with an unexplained paranormal phenomenon messing up the m
