If you're interested in participating in the next Community Weeks, then please read the following info!
First of all, `im-not-sana joined the CW team as Editor, so let's welcome her properly

Now, let's get down to business!

Getting involved in a Community Week

If you'd like to get involved with an upcoming Community Week then you need to send a summary of the article you wish to write to #projecteducate via note

How to Roleplay in the dA DangerverseMany people seem to be confused about roleplaying in the dA Dangerverse, so here are instructions on joining and information about the universe, as well as advice on what to do and what not to do.
Instructions
1. Create a deviantART account for your character. (You can roleplay with your main account, but most people prefer to keep their main account and roleplaying separate.)
2. Now it's time to find other players. Find one roleplayer and check their watch list, which should be located on their page. (If it's not, find another player.) Most RP accounts watch other RP accounts. Unlike Tumblr or Twitter, where you have hundreds of roleplayers and dozens of different groups, dA has just one big Dangerverse.
At the time of writing this, you can find many roleplayers at #KilljoyRoleplayers.
To introduce yourself, watch as many active Dangerverse RPers as possible. Players are always glad to see a new

FotoFriday: 1993Welcome to FotoFriday at #CRLiterature #7!
We brought FotoFriday back by popular request a few months ago. Last week, ^neurotype featured this image as a prompt:

Here are the pieces this image inspired:

Please share your thoughts and comments (and even favorite

). They've posted their work for the world to see, and we thank them for getting involved!
How does FotoFriday Work?
Every other Friday we will post a photograph from a deviant's gallery that we find intriguing and interesting. Using this photograph as a prompt, you are encouraged to write something—anything—based on it. It doesn't matter what form of writing, how much you write or even whether you end up with a complete piece—this is all about the prompt and what it inspires!
The photograph is meant as i

Discussion: Writing Believable Characters

Just added some member-suggested question~

What are your options on mixing species in a comic? Should it all be one species, or should you mix it? (Say, wolf talking to birds and such rather then just wolf talking to wolf.)

What do you find to be the most overused main character design?
What do you think constitutes a well-rounded character?
What are and are not Mary Sue qualities, to you?
What are your pet-peeves regarding characters or certain types of characters?
How much do characters matter to you?
Do you prefer character-driven stories, or do you care not for characters and prefer a plot-driven story? (Cause, really, it's not always about character development, especially in short stories.)
Any tropes you want to share?
And whatever else might occur to someone on the subject...

Teen victims, NEED HELP NOW!As many of you know, I work for StreetLightUSA
A non-profit lifehouse for survivors of sex trafficking, as well as sexual exploitation.
These girls have been through hell, and we are one of the few organizations out there that actually has beds for them. When they come to StreetLight, their life begins! They get school, their own bed, a bedroom, clothes, shampoo, everything they need! They have "house moms" rather than caretakers. These are women who do act as their mothers and cook for them, help them with their school assignments, teach them things, watch movies with them, play games...
But we want to do more for them. We NEED to do more. All you have to do is vote, there is a link in there to the voting page: http://dmlcompetition.net/project/summer-technology-camp-and-digital-learning-event

Today we will have a different journal!Today let's talk about knowledge...

Do you think knowledge needs a REVOLUTION?

The purpose of this article is to spread the notion and rise the awareness among all creative people around the world about the noosfeer (in English, noosphere), a concept that according to the tough of Vladimir Vernadsky and Teilhard de Chardin, denotes the "sphere of human thought"

What is noosfeer?

Theihard used to refers the noosfeer in relation to thought, to the human sphere, the sphere of reflection, conscious invention and innovation. At the universe level is analogous to the thinking, the product of the cerebral cortex in humans. Also defined as the planetar

Collaboration ProjectHello Folks

I thought it was about time to announce some sort of official activity. But since I can't afford prizes it won't be a contest. Instead I thought that it would be great to manage some sort of Collaboration Project. That means that you will create a picture together with someone else who possibly has a totally different style - the pairs are built randomly so if you get someone with a similar style or the same it's your luck

This works as follows:

You must be a member of this group.

Write a note to the GROUP titled "Art Trade Project" to sign up.

We need an even number of participants so nobody ends up alone.

The SignUp will run one week counting from this journal.

The selection will be random - you CAN'T chose your partner.

The pairs will be listed in this blog (so be sure to watch the blog or to stop by regularly)!

From the moment the pairs are posted you will have 2 weeks to create yo

There are also two open adopts, btw~

Fae Breeding Contract

Before using a license, read the rules in the Artist Comment and re-read the Fae Ownership Contract and agree to the terms. If you disagree, you may not accept the license, may not create pedigreed fae, and may not home the trial litter pups.

These rules are subject to change. Breeders must adhere to the latest terms.

Even if you are licensed, if there is something wrong with a following litter, it must be fixed.

Licenses may be revoked at any time at =PaintedCricket's digression.

Licenses are uploaded to and maintained on ~FRivArt's scraps.

Licenses are given to individuals (it will have your username), not co-owned kennels, though the litter would obviously be born to the kennel. For all individuals to become licensed, either split the trial litter or each creates their own.

Licenses are required for any breeding, even one-time breedings, priv

Affiliate With #Fella

Sat Dec 15, 2012, 9:58 AM

It is Fella's mission to ensure that all deviants have a positive experience. In part, this is done by creating and further strengthening bridges across the community.

With this in mind #fella wishes to affiliate with groups that are community oriented as opposed to those which are medium, gallery or subject specific. For example, #Muro-For-Membership would be suitable but #FrightClub would not. Even if your group is of the "we accept all types of art from artists of all skill level" variety, if it doesn't have an additional community-based aspect, it isn't what we're looking for. You can see our existing Affiliates on our About Us page.

Incoming Affiliation requests are voted on by Fella's Posse, so decisions are made by a group of volunteers who love dA and our community!

If you would like to affiliate your group with #fella, follow these instructions...

Go to YOUR GROUP's page and click on the Affiliate button.

Fella Affiliate 01 by `RockstarVanity

In the window that appears, type 'fella' into the Affiliate With This Group button and click Check.

Now, write a couple of sentences about your group. You should include a bit about the group's mission or purpose and why you would like to affiliate with #fella. Affiliation requests without this information will be declined.

Fella Affiliate 02 by `RockstarVanity

Finally, click the Request Affiliation button!

just a question can a single account not a group affiliate with Fella because of a community oriented project?

`RockstarVanity Jan 2, 2013 Professional Photographer

Single accounts can't affiliate with groups at all on dA - it's not how the system functions

If you have a community project on the go, you're welcome to send us a note with the details and we'll list it for you in our contests, challenges and projects journal.

great I actually want to re-wake an old successful project, but I still need the helpers for the regular features (at least 20) and at least 2 helpers for choosing and writing texts back than that was getting to big and too much for me alone, and it was a huge pressure before I went off dA actually too much, thus I won't restart before not having the required amount of people helping me and featuring If you want to know ahead what project *points below* it still should be in my signature. I think it would be more than worth to make this project a real big one even bigger than before. Those deviants deserve that attention
