Write and Revise Contest: Part 1
You thought we were going to let you rest after the Summer Contest, huh? Wrong! We're back with a two-parter to hopefully get you both creating and editing, as all good writers must. This contest is brought to you by VertigoArt (https://www.deviantart.com/vertigoart), who has rejoined the ranks of DLD as our contest and affiliate admin! :eager: Please go give him some love.
Part 1: Go Wild!
The first part of the contest is relatively simple: write something. It can be a journal, a stream of consciousness, a scrap of a poem, an idea you've had for ages or one that comes to you in a burst of inspiration.
This part of the contest is open from August 11th to September 11th, 201

ScreamPrompt #28, September 2012
In the hopes of maybe spurring more than 14 of you to write a story for the group this month... I'm going to have to do something drastic. I'm expecting stories from each of you because there is no excuse for not doing the following: I feel like making you all get introspective and personal. We're familiar with the tired advice of "write what you know", so that's what we're gonna do this month. There is no way there should be any stragglers with this one. You all know something, right?

Hey guys, we're voting now, check out my front page for the latest poll.

"This is not so much a critique post as it is a conformation of how absurd the standards of art in the comic book industry have become.
I traveled to San Diego
Everyday, we meet people who impact our lives, changing it forever. These remarkable heroes make a difference in their words and in their actions. They often rise above adversity and strive for positive changes. Within our respective communities, these everyday heroes deserve to be celebrated. So, with these thoughts in mind, I want you to…
Inspire Me…
I want you to go forth and write an inspiring poem or short story about an everyday hero. Take a moment to think about the individuals in your hometowns that strive to stand out. Who comes to your mind first whenever you think of a “hero?” What makes them a true hero

%Lit-Visual-Alliance (https://www.deviantart.com/lit-visual-alliance)
What is the Alliance, you ask?
The Alliance is a project group intended to encourage visual and literary artists to work together. I've felt for some time that the dA Literature Community can at times be somewhat insular - to its detriment. We in the Lit Community are also sometimes prone to griping about the lack of exposure our work receives when compared to that of visual artists.
So. In the spirit of thorns (https://www.deviantart.com/thorns) brilliant Complaint Challenge I would try to do something about that. And so :iconlit-visual-alliance: was born.
As often as I hear literary artists complaining a
