Race for Life 2012!

:star: I am running 5k for Cancer Research UK on the 15th July 2012. :star:

This is my 4th year participating and extra important this year as it marks 10 years since my mother lost her best friend Janet to a long ongoing battle with Cancer sadly still affects for too many people, and the work Cancer Research does not only funds the science, it also supports more treatment centres, nurses and support for families.

In total, I have raised just under £1500.00 in the past 3 races and would like to aim to pass this this year. Every Pound counts, even if you can just sponsor me just £2 I would appreciate it!

Together, we CAN beat cancer!

Journal Entry: Tue May 1, 2012, 1:57 AM



Hey everyone!

Thank you for all the overwhelming congrats on my previous journal! I still can't quite believe it, but I am sure once a bump appears reality will soon sink in! We have finally been given a due date of the 8th November :)

In about 3 hours time, I will be jetting off on holiday so won't be about. Looking forward to the sunshine of the canary islands instead of the mundane rain of the UK. Hopefully I can try get colour into my bright white legs and my skin will stop looking like a twilight reject.

See you when I get back on the 12th!

The Gallery Clean-up Project will focus on literally cleaning up the category tree in several ways.

Ghost Story Contest! CAMPFIRE CHILLSHalloween is not the only time for scary.  We're heading into camping season (okay, some places are already there), and ghost stories are the norm.  Imagine being gathered around a campfire out in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night, roasting marshmallows and telling each other the scariest stories you know.  A shiver runs down your spine, and the crack of a branch in the woods makes you jump out of your skin.

Come up with a ghost story for us.  You can build off of the old campfire tales, but give us something original.  Tell us a story of love, revenge, hate, and murder.  And do it in less than 2500 words.

We love horror.  Gi
 
Live Interview Transcript: ^BeccaliciousWe held an interview yesterday with :devbeccalicious: in the #LITplease chatroom. :devatrue: was the interviewer. We started out with a small crowd, but within the first five minutes or so, we had a lot more deviants join us. Participants were asked to "raise their hand" by typing a ^ when they wanted to ask a question. Here's how the conversation went:

Hi, thank you for coming!

hey

So, we're going to try to keep this to an hour for you, because I know you have plans. But I can't control the questions from the masses :paranoid:

masses indeed, lol

ART HISTORY - How to get involved:iconcommunityrelations:

The :devcommunityrelations: Team bring you ART HISTORY,
a series of articles about the entire History of Art.

:bulletpink::bulletpink::bulletpink:

The articles have been written by various Community Volunteers,
Senior Members, Groups and
the Community itself.

:star: WHO IS COORDINATING THIS?
The Art History Project was devised by the Director of :devcommunityrelations:, :devmoonbeam13:.
Two of her Community Volunteer Mentors, :devdistortedsmile: and :devScENeYmE: became the project leads and started collecting the articles.
:devdistortedsmile: and her helpers :devdeshrubber:, :devkasumichan2003:, :devLyricanna:
 
Harassment: A Survival GuideIt's no secret that the members of deviantART are an opinionated bunch! For good or ill, there is always plenty to say about art that speaks to them. This is great, yet amidst those opinions you're bound to get reactions that are nothing more than word pollution or troll bait. How many of you have logged into deviantART and been faced with this problem?

We've all seen it, been a victim of it, or at least heard about it: Folk out in the digital world living for nothing more than the joy of ruffling peoples' feathers. Well not to worry dear reader, because I've compiled a survivor's guide on how to slay the beast of text pollution: le trolls!

I circulate the literature community, and love reading and writing and seeing what other's on here have to offer. I also appreciate artwork simply because I could never do half of the amazing work I find on here.

As a writer, my main focus is on Scriptwriting and Writing for Performance, most of what I produce doesn’t appear on dA as it is used professionally. I also enjoy writing prose, and dabble in poetry.

What I like to use dA to explore new things in writing, have a go at forms, genres and style that perhaps I am not too familiar with. It is about having a bit of fun and learning at the same time because the skills you obtain from trying new things may not have worked in test, but continue throughout other elements of your writing. I have tried dabbling at other art forms, but I can barely draw a tree so the efforts have not been too grand!

If you ever want to chat, come find me in #CRLiterature, or any of the chats on the dAmn network. I am also active in the literature forum and don't be afraid send me a note! I am always willing to help answer any questions you may have or say hello.

I am also currently a Community Volunteer member for deviantART.

Hello! I'm not sure if it's within your competence, but I thought as a literature gallery mode you could be aware of this - it is currently impossible to submit a jpg file to the "visual and found poetry" cathegory. There is no literature cathegory that woud let me submit my visual poem, I had to submit it to the digital art, which is not accurate at all. I would contact the help desk, but I don't know if it's really a bug.

Thank you! Visual poetry is not specified there, but just a month ago it was possible to submit pictures there, while now it isn't, and it's logical that it should be possible as that's the point of visual poetry, so I guess I'll write to them.

Whoa jeez, a DD!? Man, if I knew I'd get that, I'd have updated that first one with the proofread version (since Blade in the Snow currently exists in print and the one up on DA is the rough version).

Thanks!

Hey,

Thank you greatly for the DD feature, good miss, it's impossible to impart just how much it meant to me. Your constant promotion and support of the literature community can never be understated, you are an inspiration and a blessing.

Along with that, i see that you are going to be a mother in the near future so my utmost and most heartfelt of congratulations are extended to you; i sense a writing prodigy emerging from the Turney household in the nearest of futures. =D

Along with that, you're positively delightful; thank you greatly.
