Daily Lit Deviations for July 5, 2009

*DailyLitDeviations:iconDailyLitDeviations: reports, 9h 26m ago
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.

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 LIT LIST: Issue No. 31

`ATrue:iconATrue: reports, 1d 8h ago
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.

Reality & Fairy Tales Collide in May's ProsePrompt

*ProsePlease:iconProsePlease: reports, May 2, 2008
:bulletred:Judge's Pick!:bulletred:

While the turn out for April's ProsePrompt didn't receieve any enteries, there's no time to waste getting started on this month.

Also, if you like to make a suggestion for next month's Prompt, by all means tell us! If we think it's good enough, your's could very well be picked!

What is a ProsePrompt?

ProsePrompts are a series of exercises designed to jolt your creative writing processes. We present a concept and it's up to you to write and accomplish the idea. Your prose can be written in any format, genre and length. Also, ProsePrompts are not just open to ProsePlease members but also to the general public.

What are the rules?

The Golden Rule: All work must be your original creation. Plagiarism of any form will NOT be tolerated.


1. New Prompts are added every month and remain open for future submissions. Prompts never end nor close.

2. Your submission must include only the elements and requirements of the Prompt that you are submitting to. There is no need to satisfy past or future prompts however, creativity is encouraged, but feel free to still do them if you like.

3. At the beginning of every month, the Section Co-Ordinator will select a submission for Honorable Mentions from any of the prompts listed.

4. You may submit more than one entry per ProsePrompt and enter as many ProsePrompts as you like.

5. ProsePrompts are open to everyone, not just ProsePlease members

6. HAVE FUN!


What's the prize?

How about that warm and fuzzy feeling you get from accomplishing a challenge? No? Ok how about:

After the Prompt ends, the Section Coordinator will select an Honorable Mention based on which submission best satisfied the Prompt. This person will be featured on the front page of the following *ProsePlease journal and also get a permanent spot under the prompt on the ProsePrompt page.

But that's not all, even if you didn't snag an Honorable Mention spot, our Section Coordinator will also feature a few participants on her journal. Now isn't that exciting? On to the prompt...

May ProsePrompt

We all love fairytales for different reasons, but commonly everyone wants everything the happy ending, which is sometimes in contrast to reality. Write a short fairy tale where the princess does not live happily ever after.

Not sure how finish?

Head on over to the ProsePrompt Archive and check out previous submissions, or, check in chat to share and receive some advice!

HOW DO I SUBMIT MY STORY?

Note the club with "[Month] ProsePrompt Submission" as the subject and a LINK to the work. It's that easy!

Every submission will be read and commented on by the Section Coordinator so feel free to write your heart out.

Good luck!

But, I've never read them for myself. ;_; It's my greatest aspiration...
