Greetings all!

Almost all of us on deviantART want to know how we are doing. We also know that to get any element of an answer, we have to put a lot of work in ourselves. It all sounds very exhausting, doesn't it?

We would like to openly discuss solutions the community can enact from within. This isn't just "what can the CVs do", but what can YOU do too. We don't want to waste good effort on the wrong things and moreso, we want to try to encourage more of you to get involved as individuals.

I can’t quite believe how long ago April Fools day was- many of you liked our anti-speel DDs, and we thank you all for your sense of humour! It’s very hard to arrange those things without knowing how people will react, so we’re happy you approved!

Well we survived Napowrimo, Screnzy and any other April challenge out there! A hoarde of DD suggestions came as a result of those, which we hope that with a bit of polishing will unravel some new pieces!

Here is the roundup for April:

Many years ago, when the "old schoolers" still ruled the forums and :devpoeticwar: was a gallery director, we used to have a regular ongoing challenge in the literature community known as "FotoFriday". Although the concept isn't entirely exclusive to deviantART, it was very popular and we have decided it is time to bring it back!

Fotofriday was originally run by :devyouthculture:, :devgeneratinghype: and :devretrozombie: (to name a few!). We intend to honour the old school and introduce it to the new!

To kick start this week at :devprojecteducate:, we're starting off with a slightly lighter-hearted article listing just some of the poetic forms that exist out there. Lets be honest, there are hundreds and we can't list every single one. This is just a slice of the forms out there and if you are wishing to expand your understanding of different forms, do some research and don't take this as gospel!

Each form has a direct link to a site that describes the form in more detail, usually with examples too. I have also included some good examples from dA when I have found them.

Pantomime is a traditional form of theatre, which in its most recognised form originated from the Victorian era and continues to be a prominent aspect of British theatre today.

Tomorrow, I shall have left my little apartment and move into a 3 bedroom house! However this excitement comes at a price- internet.

The house we're moving into needs a phone line reactivating before the broadband can be put in. The availability of an engineer to do said reactivation could be anything up to three weeks- so looking like the 20-something of August. This means no internet in the house :grump:

However,  I have an iphone with 3G network I can access dA on to check messages and I will probably visit an internet café once a week or so to keep caught up (I don't like big message centres!). There could be a chance an ]]> http://beccalicious.deviantart.com/journal/Meet-amp-Greet-Chat-Event-NOW-316041326 http://beccalicious.deviantart.com/journal/Meet-amp-Greet-Chat-Event-NOW-316041326 Sat, 21 Jul 2012 02:32:17 PDT Meet & Greet Chat Event: NOW! nonadult journals/art/literature Beccalicious http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/b/e/beccalicious.png?11 Copyright 2012-2013 ^Beccalicious @beccaturney
:new: Chat event starting now! Click here to join>>>>>> HERE!

As the group has grown and the literature community are buzzing about, we would like to invite you all to a "meet and greet" chat event tomorrow in  our chatroom!

The purpose of this event will be more of a meet and greet; asking questions everyone can answer and discussing literature, community and general questions. This isn't a critique event, this is more a chance to get your questions out there and get to meet others within the community that perhaps you have not met before and share ideas and thoughts.

The chat will be led by the modera ]]> http://beccalicious.deviantart.com/journal/Chubby-Unicorns-315957944 http://beccalicious.deviantart.com/journal/Chubby-Unicorns-315957944 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 16:17:02 PDT Chubby Unicorns! nonadult journals/personal Beccalicious http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/b/e/beccalicious.png?11 Copyright 2012-2013 ^Beccalicious @beccaturney It’s been a while since I have written a personal journal! There’s a lot of exciting things going on at the moment, both offline in Becca world and of course on here!

Baby is 24 weeks now! I still can’t quite believe it, but it is rolling around in my tummy like a mad one. Some people say that’s a sign of a girl, but I think it’s more likely to be a boy, that’s what I have in my head anyway. The main thing now is buying everything to get ready for a new family member. There’s a LOT of stuff to buy, from breast pumps to nappies, to cute things like clothing and cots.

We're in the process of building this group as you know, and it has been wonderful to see so many of you join at late. You may not be a writer per se, you could be someone with a keen interest in literature, or the literature community on dA. You could just be a lurker in search of a home, we like those too.

It's all very well and nice joining a group like this, but what is the point of joining without a little interaction right? This is just a small exercise to try and encourage you to talk to others and get interacting! Below are a set of questions, which I would like you all to answer, and also encourage you to repl ]]> http://beccalicious.deviantart.com/journal/London-HQ-Devmeet-The-tale-311920023 http://beccalicious.deviantart.com/journal/London-HQ-Devmeet-The-tale-311920023 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 13:05:01 PDT London HQ Devmeet: The tale nonadult journals/culture/deviantmeets Beccalicious http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/b/e/beccalicious.png?11 Copyright 2012-2013 ^Beccalicious @beccaturney :bigthumb311643354:
In brief

:bulletpink: 500 emoticon stress balls, 10 plushies and 500 sharpie pens is a lot of stuff to carry to London from Derby, but is worth it!
:bulletgreen: Being late for breakfast means you can politely steal :devheidi:’s toast to have with your cup of tea.
:bulletpink: If you arrive 10 mins late to a very large devmeet, expect a huge crowd of people already there.
