^lovetodeviate:iconlovetodeviate: reports, August 30
An interview with ex-GD, writer, editor, fascinating person: `GeneratingHype. Here are some tidbits from the interview (which I recommend reading in full):

"Letters presuppose a sort of authenticity, and I truly believe that a story—no matter the form—needs to be authentic and believable.

"Sometimes I wish I had stories such as "I wrote my first published poem at three and a half!" or "I started writing stories at two!", but writing never came easy for me and is still not very easy for me.

*TheFavoritesProject:iconTheFavoritesProject: reports, June 23
Due to our most recent feature having received a Daily Deviation before we had a chance to feature it, we decided to do a bonus feature today of a poem which has not gotten a much recognition recently. So we featured two poems in two days - that's a record!

Today's feature is:

STAFF:

:iconpunknera::iconhi-mi-tsu::iconvix0r::iconinsomaniac55::iconsurrfant::iconabcat::iconeagle-elf::icontoothfish::iconangelofgod87:

The Favorites Project does not currently have any staff openings, but remember, even if you're not on staff, you can always participate. Simply note us with a link in the body to a poem that you think deserves to be featured. The staff will vote on your suggestion and if a majority of the staff agrees with you, that piece will be featured (and you, of course, will be credited with the find).

A FINAL THANK YOU:

Last but not least, thank you to all our watchers. You have showed your dedication to giving all of our features some well deserved love and attention. Thank you all!
