THE LIT LIST: Issue No. 31

`ATrue:iconATrue: reports, July 4
This 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:

:bulletblue: New group ~TheCritiqueBox, ~OnceUponATimeClub, and *helping-the-unknown.
:bulletblue: New contests from ~TheCritiqueBox, *Prompt-A-Day, =SeptemberBreeze, and *Rhyme-and-Reason.
:bulletblue: New prompts from *Prompt-A-Day, *writeaway, =versebyverse, *simplypoetry, :devdistinctpoetry, ~distinctprose, ~OnceUponATimeClub, *WickedlyLoquacious, ~fiftywordfiction and =RawEm0tion.
:bulletblue: 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.
:bulletblue: The Summer Haikuathon from =Iscariot-Priest.

HotLits the Seventh!

`Beccalicious:iconBeccalicious: reports, January 21, 2008
Welcome everyone to the 7th Edition of HotLits! For those unfamiliar to HotLits, this is a weekly news article showing you all what is new and hot in literature! The selections of deviations chosen have all been submitted in the past week, and are just a mere slice of the world of writings!

In HotLits #6, another one of the feature pieces achieved a Daily Deviation! This was There is a place by ~LittleLottexo and is a truly beautiful fantasy style piece, now with over 200 favourites! Well done to ~LittleLottexo for submitting such a quality piece, especially at only 15 years of age!

The post New Year enthusiasms have quietened down a bit in terms of submissions, but that still doesn’t mean I haven’t found some delightful pieces for you to check out. So without any further rambling from me, here are the HotLits for edition number 7!


:icontightwhitepants:
The Lady of Shallot by *tightwhitepants

If Monty Python were to take some classic poems and put their own twist on them, the result would be this wonderfully humorous rendition of Tennyson’s ‘Lady of Shallot’. Considerably well written, *tightwhitepants has not just wrote a funny poem, but considered the language, the style and the meter in an intricate and admirable way.

:iconxxshadow-poetryxx:
Slaying the Dreamer by ~xXShadow-PoetryXx

You have to admire this poem for its interesting style and beautiful imagery. This has a feeling of a deep romantic piece full with vivid intense red colouring and profound love.

:iconwordworks:
Oxford by *wordworks

If you haven’t heard of *wordworks before, you need to be slapping her on your watchlist and reading her submissions. This is just one example of her decent prose work, and one in tribute to `GeneratingHype.

:icondaiichi:
If I die before I wake by ~Daiichi

This may not be the best written poem, but what it does offer is something different and a really interesting perspective on dreams. There are some lovely individual lines and images create throughout, and with polishing this has brilliant potential!

:iconfllnthblnk:
Only Acquaintances by *fllnthblnk

At first this poem seems really angry, but as it runs through there is a sad sentiment about friendships running throughout. *fllnthblnk is clearly writing from the heart in this poem, and the effect is something many others will relate to. (MC)

:iconamberlouie:
Separation by *Amberlouie

The reason this is in here is because *Amberlouie has provided an excellent example of what happens when you take good critique on board and then use that critique to reproduce you work. The result is a much clearer, stronger and polished piece, and one which is simply beautiful.

:iconwildmonky:
Dennis by =wildmonky

We finish this weeks edition with a work-in-progress prose piece by =wildmonky. This is an excellent beginning to something that leaves you wanting to encourage =wildmonky to continue writing this, just so we have a conclusion. Wonderful introduction and descriptions too!


:star: If anyone wants to check out the previous HotLits, here is a list of the articles:

:bulletred:HotLits- the First!
:bulletred:HotLits- the Second!
:bulletred:HotLits- the Third!
:bulletred:HotLits- the Fourth!
:bulletred:HotLits- the Fifth!
:bulletred:HotLits- the Sixth!

:star: Shameless Plug

If you haven’t heard of *Writers-Workshop then please go check it out! This is my community that I admin alongside `lovetodeviate and it is for all writers, whatever ability to encourage work produced through learning. The last workshop was pretty amazing, and the newest one is being hosted by yours truly, focussing on Characters. If anything, please check the latest News Article and learn more!

:heart: Thank you all for your support! :heart:

I know my submissions have cooled to just above absolute 0, but I can see by the choice here, that there is still good Lit to be found!

There are some sad individuals on this site, whose misanthropy and low self esteem lead them to embrace negativity, and by denigrating the actions of others seek to minimise their own sense of inadequacy...

...but that's enough about me, let's flush out the bastard who rejected your news item!
`lovetodeviate:iconlovetodeviate: Jan 24, 2008, 6:55:22 AM
Seriously, don't worry about it so much, Becca. Someone rejected my Lit Crit Contest article as well, and while it was annoying, I realise that there are quite a few others who have faved it and offered their support in many ways. Although I don't care for the anonymity of it, I suppose there has to be a way of allowing people to express their dissatisfaction, and it's valid too. Only if there was an inordinate number of rejections would I worry about whether I'm doing something terribly wrong.

It's not that I am worried as such, I know it isn't personal, but it just would be nice to have some feedback so you can work on that feedback. :)
