Welcome!

The goal of Well Fed Principles is to get some new ideas and thoughts out into the wild, while simultaneously reconsidering old ideas and old ways of thinking.

Well Fed Principles is a blog devoted to the writing of articles, as well as the posting of pictures, films, and all other types of media. Well Fed Principles aims to be a collective, with all different types of artists contributing to the site.

Well Fed Principles will be a watering hole for the transitional generation (a.k.a. the generation that grew up during the turn of the millennium). There is no age limit for this collective, but the aim of each artist should be to inspire, excite, motivate, entertain, and/or teach the generation that will soon be running the world.

Don't take this site 100% seriously. Well Fed Principles doesn't want to be some haven for the pompous, arrogant subcultures of today, but rather a place where all people can gather to appreciate the funny, sad, dramatic, etc.

HOW TO BECOME A PART OF WELL FED PRINCIPLES

It's very simple!

To be posted on the site, all you have to do is e-mail wellfedprinciples@yahoo.com

Please include in an attached file the piece that you are trying to have posted on the site. This could be a picture, a word document, a movie, whatever. Well Fed Principles' opinon on plagarism is as follows:

IF YOU STEAL SOMEONE ELSE'S WORK, YOU ARE AN UNORIGINAL JOKE OF AN ARTIST. IF IT BECOMES KNOWN THAT A PIECE OR ART WAS STOLEN FROM ANOTHER ARTIST, OR THAT AN ARTIST WAS NOT CREDITED FOR A PARTICULAR PIECE, YOU WILL BE FOREVER BANNED FROM THE SITE AND ALL MENTION OF YOU ON THE SITE WILL BE ERASED AND FORGOTTEN. THIS IS A NO-TOLERANCE POLICY.

If you would like to become an administrator at Well Fed Principles, you will have to send a separate e-mail explaining why you would be a good member of the team. It doesn't have to be long; a paragraph will do. Administrators will be in control of what gets put on the site, as well as having more freedom in posting their own material.

Well Fed Principles can NOT guarantee that anything you e-mail us will be posted. Feel free to e-mail us anything, but be aware that there's a chance it might not get posted. We have our reasons to reject entries, but don't let that distract you from making some excellent art. Don't be afraid to use coarse language or imply suggestive topics. That kind of thing is encouraged. Just don't send us pictures of cute cats with cute typeface saying clever things. That kind of thing is NOT encouraged. No "fail", "owned", "pwned", and other pictures of that sort.

One topic that I would ask people to avoid is strictly-one-sided political arguments. This is not a place for one-sided thought, let alone you trying to convince everyone that your opinions sit on a higher echelon than everyone else's. Obviously, politics are unavoidable in some subjects, but please refrain from using abrasive persuasion techniques.

That should be about it. More aspects of Well Fed Principles will come to be as more artists contribute works. The main thing is to have fun and to be excited about our generation's contributions to the world.

Let's get started.
