Contests
As you should know by now, there has been a pair of contests running in literature for the last few weeks. What you don't know, is that one is done, and one has been extended. We've also run into a little trouble and what to make sure you know.
In The End poetry competition has come to a close. No more entries will be accepted, and the judges will be hard at work making sure to get the winners out as soon as possible. On the prose side,
The Butler Did It! has been extended for an additional week. Remember to send your entries to
prose@deviantart.com.
You may notice that the categories for the contests are unable to be browsed. This is a known bug with new categories, and is being looked at right now. We hope that it will be cleared up soon, so that everyone can read the entries.
Keep your eyes open for the entries to appear.
Data Loss
Some older literature deviations, and some deviations that have been moved to storage, are missing the actual writing part of the submission. If this bug is affecting any of your work can you collate links to the pieces and note them to ^
imperfect or email poetry@deviantart.com.
Got News?
If you've stumbled across something around dAlit that you think is news worthy, why not write up a news article, or drop a note to `
bananaprincess or `
xork? They might be able to whip something up for you.
The news system is a great way to reach a wider audience and we'd all like to know of events and gossip from around the site.
