Dreams of the Quill

Welcome to Dreams of the Quill! DotQ, frequently mispronounced as “dot cue,” is a site dedicated to creativity. It houses several written works and a gallery of art, all by its members. There’re also some other types of content. The forum is a great place to meet said members, and it’s also where collaborative projects spring to life. The wiki houses info on many topics, ranging from members to fictional worlds used in stories here.

History

Dreams of the Quill began as a cross between Flak’s gallery of art and writings and Flak’s personal site. It had a blog, it had some text pages, it had some low-quality gif images. It’s much different now. It has a community, an active forum, and a myriad of content from various contributors. Flak, on October 10th, 2007, repurposed DotQ to focus on community participation, collaborative projects, and most of all, creativity. In so doing, he removed most of the “me me me” from the site’s about pages, made registration tools more prominent, and wrote a post on the main site declaring the start of a new era.

Dreams of the Quill is a site dedicated to creativity.
Flak envisioned a place where those people who enjoy “producing” more than “consuming” could congregate and … produce. Writing. Art. Game scenarios. Anything related to any of those. The purpose of the site is to set aside a place in which people may discuss and showcase their creative pursuits, receive constructive feedback, and improve their talents.

The first step toward group work and collaboration was made almost two years before Flak’s announcement with the original conception of Drawing My Heart, now a “forum project” being worked on by half a dozen of DotQ’s members. Many more steps have been taken since and many more will be taken in the future.
