Maladaptive Daydreaming Art and Writing Zine
Homepage for organizing a project focused on community and creativity among those with MDD.
Hello! This is Vincent Wolfe, head organizer of the project speaking.
This project is intended to be for people who have experience with Maladaptive Daydreaming to be able to share their experience and connect with members of the community, using arts and writing as a catalyst.
The goal will be to gather submissions, and anthologize them into a zine format that can be distributed to all who participated. Along the way, there will be opportunities for participating members to reach out and connect with a community, receive feedback from other artists, and direct the flow of this project.
​
This project is in very early stages. As of this instant, I am simply looking to see if there is enough community interest to continue forward.
9/19/2022.
Currently, what the project guidelines will be:
-- The final version could either be published & distributed online as a PDF, hosted on some online platform, or hosted here as a gallery. Also the possibility of distributing a physical copy to those who participated.
​
-- This site could function alongside the final publishing as a gallery, and could display submissions as they are received. A website gallery could also host submissions which are not in a format that could be included in a zine.
​
-- No skill barrier to what would be included. Everything (or pretty much everything, depending on if content is appropriate) would be accepted.
​
-- All mediums of visual arts and styles of writing. The one factor is that is had to be related to MDD in some way.
​
-- Submitted works could be older, but there would also be a time-frame given for those planning to create new works.
​
-- Artists' statements and the like could be included. You could promote your other work.
​
-- There could be the opportunity to seek out advice, critique, and feedback about your work. We could share articles on technique, or perhaps host workshops.
-- Once submissions are collected, as stands, I would be the only one in charge of formatting it into a zine. I am very excited about that opportunity, but formatting the final version is open to involvement from others as well.
​
Connecting about the Project:
--If you see this project, and wish to be more involved with it than submitting work and/or finding a MDD community, feel free to reach out to me. Currently, I could use help with getting more people to know about this project, and with contacting MDD websites and forums to promote it. Then it would be on to arranging a platform to host community discussion, take submissions, and anything else.
​
-- If there is enough traction, I may try to connect with researchers interested in relevant areas of MDD study. If you have come across this site and are interested in contacting me about your research, again, feel free to reach out.
