The Give And Take: A Guide To Critique

*writeaway:iconwriteaway: reports, 1d 10h ago
*writeaway, the new group for all you budding poets and wannabe novelists, pronounces a guide to giving and receiving critique on writing, written by ~Vampiress22.

Let's keep our perspective

`davincipoppalag:icondavincipoppalag: reports, 12h 47m ago
My friend posted this in his journal and I think it's important enough that the whole world should take a moment to reflect on it. Yes..the world lost a talented performer and artist in Michael Jackson..but there are many more tragic deaths occurring daily all over the world that go unnoticed. Please give these heroes your prayers and thanks too.

DENYING THE POVERTY DRAFT-THE SOLDIER AS A SYMBOL

=whitetrashpalace:iconwhitetrashpalace: reports, July 9
The Poverty Draft, Politics, Symbols, and the inconvenience of being human.

Even in times of war, the Soldier as an individual is of no consequence. The Soldier is a symbol, a simple pawn in a culture war. The Soldier is either a villain, or a Hero. The Soldier always serves for the honor of his country, not his paycheck. The Soldier is faithful, as there are 'no atheists in the trenches'. The Soldier is Combat Arms. The Soldier is male, he married a young white girl, and he has a baby on the way, whom he has never met.

The Soldier is a romantic ideal.

The Quaintly Pieces Of deviantART - Edition 01

`zacthetoad:iconzacthetoad: reports, April 16, 2007
quaint: adjective
strange, peculiar, or unusual in an interesting, pleasing, or amusing way
This article will provide you with just that; the quaintly pieces of deviantART. Here is a list of interesting and unusual things that you can find and do here on deviantART. Some of them are known well, whilst others are not, but all of them one would consider... quaintly.


QUAINTLY THE FIRST
deviantART’s Gallery Listing is a hidden resource that holds a full list of every gallery on deviantART as well as how many deviations can be found in each. It is yet to be revamped for v5, but an excellent resource none the less.

QUAINTLY THE SECOND
deviantART’s Statistics Page has some really interesting figures about certain aspects of deviantART. Ever wanted to know exactly how many deviations there are on the site? Or perhaps how many favourites have been given around the community? It also is yet to be revamped, but you'll find this resource is just for you!

QUAINTLY THE THIRD
Did you know you can create a link to your latest deviation, without actually knowing the deviation’s URL? Simply use:
http://username.deviantart.com/latest
All you have to do is replace username with your choice of deviant and you're away.

QUAINTLY THE FOURTH
Quick links are very popular on deviantART, for example the following are quite well known:
:thumb25046754: =
:devzacthetoad: = =zacthetoad
:iconzacthetoad: =
However, not many deviants realise there is another you can use for chatrooms on dAmn, which is:
:#devart: = #devart

QUAINTLY THE FIFTH
This was recently added to the FAQ, however its still something not many deviants are aware of. If you want to create a link to send someone a note, simply use the following:
http://my.deviantart.com/notes/?to=username
But now, you can send multiple people notes using a similar address:
http://my.deviantart.com/notes/?to=username1,username2
And finally, you can also include the subject of the note using this address:
http://my.deviantart.com/notes/?to=username&subject=subject
Using these can become quite confusing, however they are very useful once you can master it. It can be used for a variety of things, for example; sending a note to $spyed, sending a note to $realitysquared and $Moonbeam13 at the same time or sending a note to $lolly telling him how much you love deviantART.

QUAINTLY THE SIXTH
Everyone uses deviantART's emoticons and the majority of deviants know they can find a full list on the Emoticon Legend. However, there are a number of official emoticons that do not appear on the list. For a list of these check out this and this, some previous articles of mine.

QUAINTLY THE SEVENTH
Here’s two resources any keen deviant will love. Whilst they aren’t official, they are the most up-to-date lists anywhere on deviantART. Be sure to check out *stafflist and *seniorlist.

QUAINTLY THE EIGHTH
The final piece for this article is another interesting resource; +poll. Since the introduction of v5, deviantART hasn’t had any community polls, but here you can see the full list of them and how they were voted upon.

This concludes the first article with eight quaintly pieces of deviantART. Be sure to look out for future editions and if you think you have something to contribute, please feel free to note me.

Interesting :nod:

Regarding #5, watch out for dA's evil parsers - they'll turn

  http://my.deviantart.com/notes/?to=Demo
into
  [link]=Demo
and

  http://my.deviantart.com/notes/?to:Poops
into
  [link]=Poops

You can avoid this by adding a space after the "?to=", the link still works and the parsers won't mess with it.
