Lit-Resources Not So Weekly News Article #3

~Lit-Resources:iconLit-Resources: reports, March 24

=Lit-Resources is a home for all things literature!



After a long while with no newsletters it is time to keep you updated at what's going on in the =Lit-Resources kingdom:

After a turbulent period we finally established our team and started kicking back into action. We are still running a little rusty but soon enough things will go much smoother. As part of this we are still looking for more team members who wish to support and help evolving the community.

This is also the reason why we took a little off-time with the newsletters, to get hold of things and make sure that everything is ticking according to plan first. This in no way means we stop doing them, just that it will take a little time to start doing them again.

One of the new things we are starting is the Critiques Team, read on to learn about it :)

Feature and win a sub



Wouldn't it be great if you could make somebody's day with minimal effort? Well, now you can. And, what's more, in addition to that lovely fuzzy feeling, you can even have the chance to win a subscription! I bet you're wondering what this exciting opportunity is, so I'll tell you:

All you need to do is find someone who you really admire on deviantART, pick three of their best pieces, and write a few sentences about why they're amazing. Then note it to =Lit-Resources with the title – FEATURE SUGGESTION.

Everyone who submits a suggested deviant will be entered into a prize draw for the chance to win a subscription and other assorted goodies. And, as if this wasn't enough, every single suggestor, that will give us a good and serious feature, will receive a critique from one of our staff - so, what are you waiting for?
