Literature--like visual art--can take on many forms and be appreciated by some, but not by all. Every artist tends to have a particular style that they prefer to express themselves through. Sometimes art is seen as crude or inappropriate at first glance. Then reveals a masterpiece as time passes and minds expand.

My intention:
I hope to reveal unique pieces of written art. Those writers who put their hearts and souls into their literature, but don't have an extensive fan-base. This spotlight is to allow some exposure for the "under-dogs" of dA literature.

To those who view these artists work:
If you plan to critique follow the rules of criticism. Being rude is not a critique that's appreciated by any artist. Some of the pieces I select may not have perfect grammar, punctuation, etc. I did not choose them for their grammatical prowess. I chose these pieces for the stories behind the words. I myself do not hold a lot of weight on grammar, because not all writers are English majors or even fluent in the English language.

The plan:
Within the first week of every month I'll share a piece from writers that I've found on dA to be exceptional. If I can't decide among their collective efforts I'll select their featured piece as the feature to represent them. Who better to know what work is their best than the writer him/herself?

I encourage members of dA to look around for other pieces and send them to me via note so I can give other talented scribes their time in the spotlight. Please do not submit your own work, explore dA and enjoy the talents of other writers.

Because making a thumb of literature does not allow you to see anything regarding the context I decided to make links to the featured piece using the title as the link text. Enjoy!
