I created it a couple days ago on a whim after a comment suggested it in r/ImaginaryGaming. I'm pretty sure I don't want to mod it, but I will happily help someone get it going.

Whoever takes it on should easily get lotsa karma and subscribers! Based on what happened to r/ImaginaryGaming, there's a big audience for that kind of stuff.

I feel a new subreddit should be conceived by a mod with real passion for the subject at hand. Meanwhile this 'network' seems like a subscriber-hungry franchise that simply categorizes posts found on DeviantArt and similar websites.

Also, many of the subreddits duplicate the role of pre-existing ones. For instance /r/dragons already features artwork. /r/ImaginaryDragons, run by people probably hired through /r/needamod, will probably eclipse /r/dragons in subscribers simply because of the endless self promotion of the network. Does anyone check to see if there is a need for a new imaginary subreddit? Again, /r/comicbookart already exists, do we need /r/imaginarysuperheroes ? Is the only point to collect subscribers?

I'd like to hear your views.

I'm using a throwaway to avoid brigading :)

r/ImaginaryTabaxi

I've been idly glancing around various reddit alts (several of the highly popular, such as Voat, are still overloaded, though).

I really like empeopled.com and actually made an account and am starting to use it.

It's not just another reddit clone, but its also not too foreign from reddit to be hard to adjust to.

Its subreddit-like system is a little more complicated though. As of right now (don't know if this is how they plan on proceeding long past the current reddit exodus) you propose and vote on new "topics" (which are basically subreddits). I've taken the liberty and proposed "Imaginary Network" as a central hub for Imaginary artwork since until there's a much larger user base on empeopled I doubt even half of the imaginary subs could get their own topic approved IDK though, maybe there's more Imaginary Network browsers on than I anticipated.

What do you guys think? Is it way to early to be doing things like this? Would it be a good idea to have fallbacks in a few major alts? Did I overstep? I'm going to try to use empeopled a lot, so I would be willing to post over there, too. Interested to know what you think.

Edit: it seems Imaginary Art was submitted a little before mine and has some more votes. If you're going to join and vote for an Imaginary topic, go for that one.

If you have an empeopled account, you can upvote this a central hub for the various Imaginary-xyz artwork subreddits from reddit. Imaginary astronauts or landscapes, bring great artist creations here for the time being, rather than try for a topic for each.) I think its 250 votes to get approved as a topic. (Word of warning about empeopled: as soon as you make an account, go into settings and disable notification sounds. I about had a heart attack.

Say yes or else.

I was so free and created a slack already :). On another subreddit we have a slack already and it is great. It is way better than IRC because you can see old messages and you can have multiple channels.

What is a Focus Sub?? I dunno, I just made it up. I am asking you all to subscribe, contribute, and/or comment to /r/ImaginaryJerk! It's a sad little sub that could be a lot more fun. I'd like to get it beefed up and then make it NSotW.

Content brainstorms:

• Draw a shitty picture. I'll totally grant you artist flair.

• Post junk you find in the spam queue of other INE subs removed because /u/lordjimbob01 is 100% correct. Thank you!

• Lampoon NSotW, VOTES, ANNOUNCEMENTS, whatever

• Do a casual AMA

If anyone has any ideas on promotion and xposting, please share. Kinda stumped on that one (aside from NSotW magic)

I could easily set-up a Q&A list of questions subscribers would like to know the answers to, instead of a AMA-type of "be here now"-type of back-and-forth. That way, artists are not restricted to time-zones (everyone has to sleep.)

I'm thinking of announcing this idea and get subscriber's feedback vis-à-vis their most desired questions to ask a typical 'imaginary' artist. I can think of a few questions ('what software do you use?', 'what's your set-up?', 'what's your advice for inexperienced artist's..?') but subscribers will always come up with new and interesting takes that I haven't thought of before.

I think a pre-determined list of questions is better than a live Q&A... but if the artist-redditor happens to come back to answer questions later on, all the better.

I think we should present a list of, say, 10 questions to prospective artists. They can answer them in their own sweet time. The artists don't even have to be redditors to answer those questions ('Oof, another account, another password to remember, yikes, I don't think so.') So, we present the questions on say Twitter or Facebook, they answer them and, if they feel so inclined, they can join reddit later. At least before that happens we have their answers to the questions.

But, like I said, I would have to present this idea to the subscribers of r/IL - as well as other Imaginary Network subreddits - in order to see their ideas about what questions to ask.

This idea of kv's is a very interesting new development towards expanding the idea of the Imaginary Network. I hope we can proceed in a cautious manner to sound-out all the bugs that may be inherent in it's initial development.

/r/ImaginaryPonies: Imagination is magic!

MYYY LITTTLLLEE POOOOOONYYYYYYYY

/r/imaginarycosmere a fandom sub for art based on Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere Universe.

I created the subreddit a few days ago and we are already up to almost 150 subscribers, and there is someone that isn't me posting as well. The Cosmere has many monsters, characters and amazing landscapes and there has already been success on crossover posts.

Thank you for all the curators/senior mods/junior mods/people who have put up with me asking how to get stuff set up.

We all know that it will probably pass the vote, however I think it is necessary that we vote on the subreddit, eve if it is only pro-forma because it is such a bit subreddit and special just like /r/ArtistOfTheDay.

Hello Guys! Over the weekend I thought of ideas that we should implement here and all over the subreddit. Here they are.

• Adding a sidebar image to the sidebar! (Example can be found in /r/ICanDrawThat, ours is a llama!) I believe the code is somewhere around the subreddit of /r/csshelp

• Implementing more guides in the wiki, and explaining the rest in more detailed manor. I feel we should add more guides to the wiki, for example. Good mod techniques, handy CSS tricks, and good sources for finding art.

• Getting more people familiar with the generic CSS, we shouldn't have just two or three mods familiar with CSS.

• Having art contests, where if you make the best art or find the best art, your rewarded a special flair.

• Bringing back of Subreddit of the Week! This was a handy feature, giving us mods and users the ability to see cool new subreddits. I'll help with this if needed, by holding weekly votes or something. Vote on Friday, and post on Monday.

Hey guys, so I spent a couple hours going through almost every r/ImaginaryFillInTheBlank subreddit and compiled an album of 120 pictures. Not all subreddits were used, I'm not a fan of races like orcs of goblins, so there aren't any of those. The artwork for some characters wasn't in accordance to my style, but a lot of landscapes, technology, and architecture mixed in with characters, race, monsters, a few fandoms, but no NSFW stuff. I set up a rotational background of the 120 pictures with 5 seconds between each picture so it's on a 10 minute loop. Hope you guys like some of what I chose!

Induction objected here. Moved to vote.

[INDUCTION] /r/ImaginaryGayBoners - Sexy in Gay Form (NSFW Tab)

I created this sub three months ago and it currently sits at 56 posts and 222 subscribers. It's very explicit and firmly NSFW, which seems to be creating hesitance in its induction. I'd counter that by saying that's simply the kind of content which belongs in the NSFW Tab. And we don't seem to shy away from gore, which isn't any less NSFW than sex acts. Furthermore, comparable levels of explicit posts can occasionally be found on /r/ImaginaryBoners. Although, I admit such is much, much more frequent in this sub. But, it's up to the people since, ya'know, democracy.

As the name suggests, it would be dedicated to (comtemporary) artwork depicting people from Tudor-era England, including more fantastical or fictionalized portrayals.

I think /r/ImaginaryEquestria is a better name than /r/ImaginaryPonies because it fits within our established naming scheme for the fandom subreddits. I urge you to vote in the Ponies thread and for this subreddit instead (Sorry Greypo don't be mad).
