So You Want to Contribute to Wendy the Druid?
So, you want to contribute to Wendy the Druid? That's fucking awesome. We're not your average publication—we're here to tackle big shit like Political Commentary, LGBTQIA+ issues, Druidism, Homeopathy, and Climate Change. If these topics make your soul sing (or rage), you're in the right place. But before you jump in, here's what we expect. And yes, we're serious about this.
General Guidelines
Respect the Topics: Don't half-ass it. If you're contributing to LGBTQIA+ discussions, for example, be informed and respectful. Same goes for Druidism, Homeopathy, and everything else. If you don't know your shit, learn before you contribute.
Be Passionate, but Make Sense: We love fiery contributions, but don't sacrifice accuracy for drama. If you're slamming political fuckery, back it up with facts. If you're hyping up the magic of homeopathy, bring some research to the table.
No Bigotry Allowed: This is a safe space. Racism, transphobia, homophobia, sexism, and other hateful bullshit won't fly here. Period.
Keep It Informal but Professional: You can swear (obviously, I mean have you seen Wendy's content yet? Right.), but don't make it a mess. There's a line between passionate and unreadable. Walk it.
Stick to the Themes: We're not a random rant site. Everything you contribute should tie into Political Commentary, LGBTQIA+ issues, Druidism, Homeopathy, or Climate Change.
Monthly Requirements & Participation
Participation means more than just hitting quotas—it's about being part of this community. Whether you're crafting articles that cut through the noise, jumping into our live sessions where we hash out ideas until our voices are hoarse, or contributing to the publication in other meaningful ways that keep this machine running, you're expected to show up and engage.
Byliners: You're expected to contribute 2 articles OR 2 live discussion participations per month. Mix and match however works for your schedule and strengths. That's non-negotiable. If you want your byline on our site, you've got to show up consistently in whatever form feeds your fire.
Contributors: You're in the big leagues. That means 4 articles OR 4 live discussion participations per month minimum—or any combination that adds up to 4. Again, participate however your passion drives you, but remember, this is about full commitment to shaping the direction of this publication. If you can't handle the workload, don't sign up.
Admins: You are the ones with the super cow powerz. You can do all the stuff I am too tired to do, because I didnt sleep , spewing shit into my phone in the middle of the night.
Contribution Focuses
Political Commentary: Go hard, but go smart. Analyze the shit out of policies, leaders, and movements. Bonus points for unique angles.
LGBTQIA+ Issues: Celebrate, educate, and advocate. Shine a light on struggles and victories, and don't shy away from hard truths.
Druidism: Whether you're exploring ancient practices or modern interpretations, bring depth and respect to the table.
Homeopathy: Highlight its benefits, debunk myths, and dive into its integration with holistic health.
Climate Issues: From policy failures to grassroots solutions, tackle this existential crisis with the urgency it deserves.
General Good-Sense Rules
Meet Deadlines: You miss your monthly contributions, it sucks. We do not strictly enforce them, but if you go a month without your minimum met, we have to talk. Simple as that.
No Plagiarism: Create your own damn content. Cite everything you use.
Fact-Check: We're not here to spread misinformation. Verify your sources before hitting submit. Or you will have Miranda on you faster than I can be.
Edit Your Work: Despite giving out free Mom Energy, I am NOT HERE to clean up your shit. Proofread before you send it in. Or Miranda is gonna flip her shit. I will too.
Communicate: If you're stuck, need help, or have an idea you want to pitch, talk to us. We're here for collaboration, not guesswork.
Editor Approval: Miranda, our badass Editor in Chief, has to make a final once-over before anything goes live. If she asks for changes, you're expected to either make them or provide a logical counterpoint for why not. This isn't optional—her call is the last word.
Final Thoughts
Contributing to Wendy the Druid is a privilege, not a right. We're here to make a difference, stir the pot, and amplify voices that matter. If you're ready to step up and contribute to a community that gives a damn—through your words, your voice in our sessions, and your active participation in everything we're building—welcome aboard. If not, no hard feelings—this shit isn't for everyone.
