Of course! Its your spotlight, and you want to spend it wisely! … If you need to ask me whether it would qualify, or if there are issues or concerns, you can reach out from the Contact Us form.

No. The product or resource has to be finished.

Please only submit finished, published, and publicized products and resources.

Free of charge! Each week, Dungeon Delve is published to the CW weekly newsletter. We also intermittently promote new issues on the following platforms:

  • Social Media (X, Instagram, Threads, Pinterest, Facebook)
  • Discord (partner sites and communities)
  • Satellite Posting Platforms (Medium, Tumblr)
  • High-DR Link Pages (CW Github, Docker)

This is a small endeavor, but the goal is to use the incoming submissions as a cross-networking tool, and a fundraising endeavor to establish larger modes of distribution, and help cover expenses of the Chaotican Writer website.

This is fine!

We consider this its own release…  as long as it is an official publicized release that is available to the public to download, view, or purchase.

Fees for Sponsored Spotlights help compensate for the time and labor of reviewing, writing, posting, and promoting each issue of Dungeon Delve. 

The goal is for this compensation to be used to cover expenses, enable website enhancements, promote the outreach of Dungeon Delve, and support the continued operation of the CW weekly newsletter, and the Chaotican Writer website.

Harshly. We want nothing to do with any product or resource that is being passed off by someone who is not the creator. Equally, using generative AI as a black box that remixes content taken from a large batch of creators without their consent is no different.

I am open to discuss those concerns! … I want this series to be a help to the community, while also helping support the Chaotican Writer website. Transparency and legality is extremely important in this endeavor, and I am performing this at my best effort.

Please reach out to us using the Contact Us form.
