Dead Silence Movie Contest Winners

lolly:iconlolly: reports, March 15, 2007
From the writer and director of the international phenomenon Saw comes an experience on the razor's edge of fear, Dead Silence. There is an old ghost story in the sleepy town of Ravens Fair about Mary Shaw, a ventriloquist who went mad. Accused of the murder of a young boy, she was hunted down by vengeful townspeople who cut out her tongue and killed her. They buried her along with her "children," a hand-made collection of vaudeville dolls.

Category Restructuring

Big Category Changes




Very shortly you will see a very new look to categories on the front page.

the new Root menu will be



:bulletred: Traditional Art
:bulletred: Digital Art
:bulletred: Photography
:bulletred: Customization
:bulletred: Literature
:bulletred: Manga/Anime
:bulletred: Cartoons & Comics
:bulletred: Anthro
:bulletred: Artisan Crafts
:bulletred: Resources
:bulletred: Flash
:bulletred: Community Projects
:bulletred: Designs and Interfaces
:bulletred: deviantART Related

Customization

will include:

:bulletred: Skins & Themes
:bulletred: Wallpaper
:bulletred: Icons
:bulletred: Visualization Presets
:bulletred: Modules & Plug-Ins
:bulletred: Screenshots
:bulletred: Handhelds
:bulletred: Cell Phone Art

Literature

will include:

:bulletred: Poetry
:bulletred: Prose

Manga/Anime , Comics and Cartoons and Anthro

will have their own subsections as they've grown large enough to be their own categories. Special thanks to +damphyr, ^delya, `mangapunksai and ^neoikeia for their help in organizing these new categories.

Community Projects

will include:

:bulletred: Art Groups
:bulletred: Mosaics
:bulletred: Contests
:bulletred: Current Events
:bulletred: Marketplace

Resources

will now also include:

:bulletred: Stock Images



This is a huge change and we're doing everything we can to make it as straightforward as possible but we'd be silly to assume there will be no growing pains. Obviously you may be experiencing some of them now during submission let me explain a few things to sort that out:

:bulletred: The category has the wrong descriptions

- Yes, for new categories that have yet to have descriptions created for them, they will default to an incorrect description. This will be fixed as quickly as we can.

:bulletred: The category icons are incorrect

- Again another aesthetic that will be fixed as soon as possible


:bulletred: My favorite category is missing!

- Likely not just bear with us or send $Moonbeam13 a note and we can work it out we're in transition right now.

:bulletred: I have questions not answered here!

- Send them to $Moonbeam13 via note or email moonbeam13@deviantart.com

:bulletred: Will I have to move all my deviations?

- yes and no. We are doing everything we can to move as many of the deviations we can into the new categories however, we are unable to merge some, so there will be instances where we will require the community to get involved and ensure their work is in the correct categories.



Thank you for your patience :)

Nice to hear all the things that are going on. Also good to see that finally Manga Anime Comics Cartoons and Anthro all have there own places. So much of the site is made up of that it seems like to me.

I licked you while you were sleeping. It was a queer taste that only Humans can give. Perhaps, tonight, I will bring seasoning with me.

I really need to update my gallery :/ But if you wanna visit it anyway and leave a comment (or suggestions for a new work), I won't complain! :D

Cool, I'm glad to see the restructuring. I noticed that Photography was merged into one big category instead of Art Photography, Photojournalism, Commericial Photography... =)

Thanks for all you and the staff do, as always.
