Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you :+fav: the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

The Shortlisted with Judge's comments



~lpowellGodeater

The Godeater was a great villain, with a suitably chilling description. There was something haunting and nursery rhyme-like about the final line as well.





*oedipa - Tres Sorores

Some nicely drawn characters here, and some clever use of language.





*PicksyA man and his cow

I chose this one because it read most like a traditional fable, but also had a neat sci-fi twist. I particularly liked the ambiguity of it, is this a straight forward morality tale, or a piece of dogma to scare children into being "networked"?





~365-leap - Sky Dog


I thought this was a great little creation myth, full of neat little explanations for the world we see around us. The idea of the sun as a "bright yellow rectum" made me smile.





~SirKuddles - Death Through Creation

I really liked the idea of Death having an origin story. Though I wish I knew what Death's brother's name was...
