Stop Disney ending Physical Media (DVDs/Blu-Rays)I wouldn't normally do something like this, but it was brought to my attention and I do think this is important.Disney is going to end the production of physical media - such as DVDs and Blu-Rays - in Australia, and this practice will likely spread to other countries if it succeeds. What this means is that you will have to watch their new movies/shows purely on Disney+.This presents a problem for the following reasons:01. While you can put a DVD/Blu-Ray disc on anytime you feel like it, Disney+ requires you to have an internet connection and a Disney+ account. If you don't have a Disney+ account or good internet, or your internet/Disney+ goes down for any reason, then you're out of luck.02. The DVD/Blu-Ray version of a film/show displays it as it was meant to be shown, sometimes with extras you may want to watch. On Disney+, you not only lose access to some/all of those extras, but we've seen Disney making little "edits" to scenes from older films/shows that they now consider "problematic" - such as a scene from Splash! where Daryl Hannah's character runs and jumps into the ocean (which takes mere seconds) now has some bad CGI hair covering her rear. It may be a minor edit, but it's a sign of bigger changes that will inevitably come as more stuff is altered/censored.03. When you have a DVD/Blu-Ray version of a film/show, you own it because you've bought and paid for it and will always have access to it as long as the disc is maintained well. With Disney+ (and while streaming may initially offer some convenience), you're effectively renting a film/show to watch and don't own it. Additionally, if Disney decides to pull it from their streaming service (like they did with the Willow TV series) or it's not on their streaming service to begin with, then you're again out of luck.04. The loss of physical media will put a lot of smaller business who rely on selling physical media in financial difficulty or may be put out of business altogether, especially if other companies start following Disney's lead. The last thing we need right now is more people on the unemployment line.As such, check out these Change.org petitions and maybe consider signing them.

Pardon me, if you don't mind. But I was hoping to be know why it seems like I'm unable to submit any of my artwork for this group into some of the folders chosen. Is it because of the storage capacity for those folders or that I chose the wrong folders? Is it technical issues of the site? Or is there another reason? I'm a little lost here. :-? (Confused)

Is it possible to submit fan fiction stories in this group? I want to submit my story, but the crossover folder won't let me.

 Your group sound like my kind of group.

Hi, ReaverPan. 
Thanks for the support. 
I'm willing to support your group as well, and I will check out the Disney City RP to think about affiliations. 
You don't have to submit any art; anyone can join this group.
