The Dreamies 2024

☆ Be a Dreamer! ☆

As you guys have seen, this contest is specifically for those who are involved in Dreamland in one way or another! Below, we will list the ways, but before that, one real quick thing ;)

Tag people here who you wish to see this chapter so you can nudge them to become a Dreamer as well so you can nominate them! Just be sure to explain to them perhaps why they're getting a sudden tag ;)

Discord

The simplest way to join Discord! It's a chatting app/website. Think of it as a giant group chat with multiple zones to chat in, plus epic emojis to use. We have a lot of different channels, including ones to talk about your book, books you've read, fandoms your in, a place to do marathons/sprints together, places to ask for advice, places for art, all sorts of goodies!

So if you're wanting to be a Dreamer, or if you just want an amazing writing community, feel free to join! You can ask here for the link, or you can find it at the bottom of our bio! If you have any issues, let us know!

Book Clubs

The other way is to join one of our many book clubs! We have four, all different from each other to meet different needs. Below, you'll find each book club, as well as a list of pros and cons for each!

Dreamland Exchange

This club places you in a pairing every week, running from Sunday 5 PM EST to the Sunday at 12 PM. You read four chapters from your partner's book within that time span, and on each chapter leave an extensive outline comment (7+ lines on desktop, 12+ on mobile). The exception to this is you leave 4+ quality inlines or if their book is bolded in the chapter, meaning they have less than 1k words in at least half their chapters. We also have a Golden Dreamer, which updates every two weeks. Basically Book of the Biweekly, best commenter of that biweek is chosen, all members have to read and comment on two chapters, leaving 5+ (desktop) / 9+ (mobile) line comments per chapter. So, over the course of two weeks, you read 10 chapters (four from each weekly update, two from Golden Dreamer)

Pros: You get extensive feedback. You get to give us preferences and avoidances so we can try to place you with favorable books. It is the most popular book club which means it can give you a wide amount of community, the largest outside the discord. Great commenters are rewarded as best as we can reward them. We have a re-pairing/permanent pairing system that lets you stay with a certain person if you really like their books or commenting style.

Cons: It is the most work heavy of any of our clubs. You have to read four chapters of a book you may not love. Getting extensive comments on the first four chapters over and over can get boring and useless. You may get a partner who nitpicks and is just a butt but you have deal with having comment on four chapters. Again, MOST WORK HEAVY CLUB.

Dreamland Workshop

Important beginning note: stories must have 10+ chapters to join. This club updates every two weeks. We place you in a pairing, though you can select to be part of more than one pairing. When we update, we place an inline comment for conversation to start, then the rest is up to you. You guys say you are there and ready to begin, you guys report to us if people aren't doing as they are supposed to, you just... You guys are a mini-critique pair which we form and enforce. You must leave 5+ inlines and a 6 sentence outline comment per chapter. You and your partner decide how much to read per week. You stay with this partner until one of you finishes or one of you asks to leave the pairing/club. Outside of your partnership work, there is also a Chosen Book, which is like book of the biweek, where almost everyone has to read a single chapter from this book. You choose when you sign up if you will participate in Chosen Book. If not, you do not have to do it, but you cannot be Chosen Book.
