IT'S DONE. I have spent days and days and days collecting a list of all the lit groups I could find (1901 groups to be exact!), then I went through each one and moved all the groups that had no discernible activity in the past 12 months to the Inactive Groups list (see links above). Then with the groups remaining (568 groups :faint:) I looked for evidence of things peopl

Night All I want to remind everyone to please put your deviations in the appropriate folder and not just in the Featured folder. I usually go through and fix it, but with more members comes more misplaced deviations. If you are unsure of where your deviation goes or the gallery is missing a folder that you feel should be there, just let me know. I'll help you figure out where you submission goes or add a folder. But please, submit to the right folder. This will be the last week for Unlimited submissions. Starting next week there will be a 4 deviation limit for each folder. This is due to the influx of new members. I know that a lot of devia

A lot of people can say you can't do something, but isn't it always you that determines whether you can or not? I've been wanting to post about this for a long time, because I used to be the type of person that always looked at other people's talent and it was like staring at a mountain. How could I climb that monster of progress and become my own living breathing talent, you know? I downed myself and defeated any chance I had at even trying to do what I desired. One day I just woke up and said to myself, "You either do it, or don't. Pick one and stop fretting over it." So many people make things out to be more complicated than they actually

Work on something else. I know, I know. You've been working on that story of yours for twelve whole years, and it's your baby. Sure, it may have been inspired by that Dungeons and Dragons session you had when you were thirteen, but you're going to make your fortune with it! It's the next Harry Potter! When my pals and I have gone to writing conferences, we've made note of an interesting phenomenon: when someone has writte

I've had the privilege of meeting an extremely talented artist who I feel deserves more attention than he's currently getting. He's only been on DeviantArt for about 3 weeks but his Gallery is impressive and will leave you in awe! I highly suggest going and checking this Deviant out. Tyler Adams~tadams4 (https://www.deviantart.com/tadams4) Tyler's Gallery He wishes to offer commissions for those who are interested. His style is traditional yet beautifully detailed. He, like many of us, is a struggling artist who deserves so much more than he gets. He's also very sweet so don't be afraid to ask him questions about commissions. I'd deeply appreciate it if you guys check

This is a stupid journal and a dumb question...But I'm not sure what to do. I use to role play A LOT in high school with one specific person who I no longer speak to...or am friends with, unfortunately... And I haven't rped since then because I'm reminded of what I use to have and it's hard. I know there is a huge RP community here on DA, but I'm bashful and not sure where to look.

I was at my happiest when I was role playing. And I could sure use some happy right about now
