Hey everyone, gonna keep this short and sweet:
Ownership of the Man-Candy has been passed over to me and I'm happy to announce that submissions are open once again!

Same rules as before apply, I won't be changing those. Mains ones being:
- Submission has to be of decent quality*
- Submission has to have some sex appeal*
- General dA ToS applies

*Up to staff's personal preference

For a full set of the group's rules, please refer to the main group page if you need a quick reminder what they are.

It's literally just me right now since I'm not sure how many people are gonna 'reactivate' upon seeing this message but if the flow of submissions gets too overwhelming I'm going to open mod submissions.

Anyway, welcome back Man-Candy!
Due to the fact that I don't go on DeviantART anymore and no one wanted to take over the group, I am closing submissions indefinitely.

Sorry.
Hello you awesome people!

I am accepting applications of sorts for those to be the new admins to Man-Candy!

I need a few things from those interested.

• You must show that you have ran a group for over 2 years. this means a few things:
-show that you are admin (preferably founder) of a successfully ran group
-tell me your function and roles in the group and groups in the past
-if you can show me correspondence screencap from two years ago or older that proves that you were administrator, it is recommended that you do. You can also link to a journal entry that is two years old or older.

•You must tell me what you will bring to the group! What you have to offer and what you hope to accomplish. And I also require that that involves me staying as a contributor or something of that nature so I can make sure this group is taken care of!

•You must be 18 years or older to apply since this group sees some things.

I know this is a lot but this group has been with me for a long time and I really just want to see it flourish since this is also my biggest group I made!

Thanks for your time!
