Lit People Unite!

~damnLit:icondamnLit: reports, October 13, 2007
:spotlight-left:Are you one of those damnLit people?! :spotlight-right:

:bulletred:Are you tired of private chat bureaucracy?
:bulletblue:Do you want competitions, Q&A’s and constant (solid) critique in an open floor forum by a numerable amount of professionals and amateurs alike, concentrating solely on your work? Would you like to develop your own critiquing skills?
:bulletred:Do you want to learn? And do you want to have fun while you learn?
:fellablue:Do you want a sense of community, to make friends and to develop as a writer?
:bulletred:Do you want a room by the people and for the people?

If you’ve answered yes, raised your eyebrows or nodded empathetically to any or all of these questions, *damnLit desires to sate your needs.

:bulletgreen:Wait, that’s a hefty promise you’re making, what exactly is *damnLit?

:spotlight-left:*damnLit is the first official AR literature channel channel on deviantArt. It caters to the aspiring poet and prose writer, providing a positive and constructive community in which the writer can develop their skills through giving and receiving critique and stimulating literature discussion. There is minimal emphasis placed on social standing and privclasses, providing an environment that is writer-centric. Fun discussion isn’t disallowed but ideally literature and the development of writers and their experiences should be central.

*damnLit was created by @youthculture as a serious alternative to our sister site, premier unofficial chat daLit.


:bulletgreen:Well that’s that question answered but what exactly can you do for me that private chats can’t?

:spotlight-left:Private chats are that, private; they are run based on the whims (some very productive whims at that) of those who create them. *damnLit, as the first official AR literature channel *damnLit is a regulated environment that ensures that our mission statement is upheld to the benefit of the writing public.
The actions of those who hold the higher privclasses and accountable for every single action, ensuring your experience is a positive and constructive period.

Along with that security, *damnLit offers a range of activities and opportunities. Such elements include competitions, Q&A, critique and much more.


:bulletgreen:Who are you looking for?

:spotlight-left:Anyone with a passion for literature (poetry AND prose) and/or the desire to improve and contribute to intelligent, fun and thoughtful discussion; pretty much anybody who has a craving to write but has never tried, to the professional writers who just desire a constructive environment save the elitism.
Even if you’re just curious about literature and writing, and have a question, drop in and see us at *damnLit.

:bulletred:Would you like to know more?
:bulletblue:Do you have any questions?
