When an admin announces that higher rank applications are open, you will be asked to fill out an application form and wait for us to let you know if you've qualified to become a higher rank. Please note that if you want to become mod/admin as well as have that higher rank, you will have to fill out a mod/admin form whenever that's opened. Please keep a look out for future journals if we need more characters to fill up ranks and more admins/mods to help us out.

Founder Change over!
Hi everyone, Hunter7104289 here! I've loved all my time here since founding DWW with the old crew of mods, and every moment with the new ones, But as time has passed I've lost my spark for running a warriors group, It has been an amazing five years . After a lot of thought and discussion I have decided to hand the group over to sunflwrseeds (https://www.deviantart.com/sunflwrseeds) . She has been taking over the work while I was on hiatus the last month or two, and did such a great job I doubt you'll even notice a difference with the switch over :D
For all the members who know me well, and all who didn't have the chance, I just want to say I'm so happy that this group gets to stay
