THE LIT LIST: Issue No. 31
`ATrue
reports, 22h 33m ago
reports, 22h 33m agoThis weekly newsletter lists the literature activities being hosted all over DeviantArt.
This list was created to encourage deviants to participate in the literature community. All the activities listed are ones in which deviants can participate: everything from prompts and contests to chat rooms, special events, and volunteer opportunities are listed here. The Lit List makes it faster and easier for you to participate in the dA lit community.
The excuse most commonly used by deviants for only participating a little is time: "I like the concepts for several prompts and contests," they say, "but I only have time to write one piece." Well, why not challenge yourself by writing one piece that incorporates more than one theme? As a bonus, if you write one piece for more than one prompt, I will feature it on next Lit List; you just need to note me!
This issue features:
New group ~TheCritiqueBox, ~OnceUponATimeClub, and *helping-the-unknown.
New contests from ~TheCritiqueBox, *Prompt-A-Day, =SeptemberBreeze, and *Rhyme-and-Reason.
New prompts from *Prompt-A-Day, *writeaway, =versebyverse, *simplypoetry, :devdistinctpoetry, ~distinctprose, ~OnceUponATimeClub, *WickedlyLoquacious, ~fiftywordfiction and =RawEm0tion.
New category: VOTE. This category will include only new polls added after today that are very lit specific, such as voting for contest winners or on changes to the lit community.

WARNING: SPAM-SCAMS!!!
=salshep
reports, August 29, 2007
reports, August 29, 2007There are companies who target inexperienced/hopeful writers, often approaching them through scam campaigns like this one on dA: [link] . Almost 3000 identical messages left in a single day. Yeah, that's a LOT of GENIUS. There was another I found, fortunately banned already, by the same person.
Now, what this is is a scam to get you to enter a poetry competition. That's how they get your e-mail. Then you get a very pretty letter saying how WONDERFUL your poem is, and recieve all sorts of offers to let these sods publish you, for free. BUT IT ISN'T FREE. To obtain a copy of this publication (of which they do about 60 a year), in which your poem is stuffed in with thousands of others (you even have to PAY to have your poem printed on its own page) you have to spend BIG. Then they hit you with "opportunites" to buy a whole stack of other products, and even go to conferences. Now, I have read reports about these conferences and they, too, are a horrible rip-off that hard-working families pay thousands to attend.
DO NOT BE FOOLED.
Read these articles, for the proof of this company's dishonesty and lack of caring about your work:
[link]
[link]
I hate seeing people ripped off. If you find a site like this on dA, do your bit to help stop them by sending a complaint in to to the Help Desk, and keeping an eye out on the page to give warnings to those who think it is a genuine offer.
HELP STOP THE SCAM!!!!

If you'd like to help thier spam-campaign backfire in thier faces, you could fave this news, or maybe link peope to the sites in the article that expose the scam, when you see them on folk's pages.
