Express your appreciation every day in April
In an effort to open your heart this April, I challenge you all to photograph, scribe or art something you appreciate in your life every day this month.
Enjoy your life this April, take the time to "stop and smell the flowers" for one month. Everyone deserves a little tranquility in life; sometimes it's just a matter of looking for something to appreciate for beautiful moments to appear.

April's Assignment: Stalk a $taff Member/CV!About Us
Original Project
Guideline
:new: April's Assignment is now closed to submissions! Thank you to everyone who participated. ^_^ Look for the feature journal in early May. :heart:
One of the biggest complaints we hear on deviantART is that the Community Volunteers (or hats as we affectionately call them) and $taff are too "elite" for the general population to talk to. For April, we need your help to disprove that myth! To do it, you'll need to venture into the uncharted wilderness of a $'s or ^'s profile! :fear:
The Challenge
1. Choose a Community Volunteer from this list: http://fav.me/d3tbtyy or a $taff member from this list: +about
2. Browse their profile, journal, and gallery. Tak
dA Related Monthly Themed Contest: AutumnIt's time for the first of many deviantART Related Monthly Themed Contests!
Autumn
It's that time of the year again. Where the leaves begin to fall, and all you feel like doing is jumping into that big pile of leaves in your neighbours yard. Yes, it's Autumn.
Create something with autumn leaves, colors, anything to do with Autumn. It's all up to you! :eager:
This contest will be open to all media, as long as it's correctly submitted into the deviantART Related gallery. This means you can create a deviantID, Deviant Stamp, Journal or Gallery skins/designs, and more with the theme Autumn.

What is this business?!
This is a small update on what's going on around the literature community, that's what this business is. The idea is to try and make the community more readily accessible for everyone, whether you're new or have been here for a while.
Please note: these updates will not be all-encompassing in terms of community happenings, as the community is quite frankly rather large. Instead, this article will focus specifically on things that are currently ongoing, or happened within the past fortnight. If you're looking for something more general and comprehensive, why not give `IrrevocableFate's Love dA Lit a read?

Literature CR Update - February 2012Hello all! As you've probably guessed by the title of the journal and the Community Relations journal skin, this is the monthly update from the literature community volunteers.
Farewell! Now with more hello!
As with previous months, February saw a few changes to the CR team, so if you haven't already done so, please thank `Casperium, `dammitMEL, `evilsyndicatemember, `shelldevil, and `zandog for their work while on the volunteer team!

Hello everyone!
It's that time of year (well bit more than a "time" this time!) where I need to ask a HUGE favour in the form of money. It's not money for me, it's money for a charity that I am very passionate about; Cancer Research UK.
Every year, Cancer Research runs a national "Race for Life", which is a 5k race that any female can walk, jog or run in order to raise money and awareness for Cancer. Events like Race for Life are vital in funding Cancer Research UK's life-saving work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer.
Although this is the 4th year in a row I have participated, this year

Lit Critique Sunday in CRLiterature!Come chat with us!
Hello all! This is an announcement to let you know that we'll be having some literature critique in :#CRLiterature: this Sunday! The first round will be hosted by `zebrazebrazebra on Sunday at 8 am GMT, and the second will be hosted by ^Beccalicious and myself 12 hours later, at 8 pm GMT! (What time are those for me?)
This way, those of you who are in odd time zones or have previous engagements for the weekend may have a better chance to take part and get/give some feedback! Many thanks of course to `zebrazebrazebra, who offered to host a crit event for the folks in the time zones that we can't accommodate as easily. :]
A few things to note, in particular:
:bulletblue: Critique will happen one work at a time, be prepared to wait your turn.
:bulletblue: Critics are not stating opinions about you, the writer. They will give feedback on the work you present to the chatroom, thoughts
