UPDATE as of September 28th, 2013:

HSV is growing exponentially (blessed be our members and their creativity! ) hence the following list right now is only representing the CORE folders of the Gallery and does not provide the insight to the maze of subfolders we now have almost everywhere (thank you everyone who helps us upkeeping the supergroup status! )

Hopefully solar-sea will be able to write another consistent guide to our galleries, for now it looks like the auto-approved submissions are going fairly well (save for the misfits who keep storing things, but it can't really be helped anyways ) and overall, this journal will just be kept for history  (and possible future references)

Attention fellow heartshriners!

After the successful Revamp we're happy to present you the ultimate

HeartShrineVillage
Gallery Folders Guide

Please read this journal carefully to ensure understanding of our Gallery's structure

Each folder is provided with explanations of purpose; terms of usage and our members' artworks as examples.

Consult our Group Rules to make sure your art abides them as well as DeviantArt's  Terms of Service  and Etiquette Policy.

DEFINITIONS:

Open for all

Featured:

Admins-only

- probably the most controversial folder in the history of folders We can't rename it, we can't move it, so it just mocks us with its existence

For now we've decided to use it for featuring the outstanding eyecandy arts we receive
There is no particular set of rules for making a work featured; so the choice is pretty subjective (admins are also living people ) - but mostly depends on the quality of the artwork; its emotional impact and original thought behind the execution.

We appreciate the variety of styles and mediums used in your artworks and try to feature the different approaches

“ah... don't you think you've had enough?” the gentleman standing behind the bar meekly replied as he grabbed the pitcher, inspecting subtly. The man knew that three glass pitchers had already met their ends at the hands of this particular customer. That was why the bar had specially made steal pitchers just for him.
This establishment was one of the few that still let Hade in. In years past, it had been one of the ones that had banned him for months at a time, but like all the others, they eventually realized it was bad business to ban a Kobiru. The flirty clan was well known for their propensity to drink. Most people thought it went hand and hand with their promiscuous ways, and they weren't entirely far off.
