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!

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
That's honestly all we need, we have everything else set up for it. We have professionals willing to teach the lessons, we

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

Re-Homers and Open AdoptsJune 18, 2013

Just had a fancy idea. I'll be releasing a sweet fantasy design and shift (no natural variation; not DARPG-able, but the Fantasy DARPG group is getting closer to opening!) along with the rehomer formerly known as Savvy~

There are also two open adopts, btw~

+ Breeding Contract for the fae is finally up! I found a way around dA's glitch. The teapups' rules will be similar to the fae, in case anyone's wondering. Anywho, you may either start asking questions, requesting geno interpretations, coloring up your trial litters, or wait until I've got the dew pattern sheet up...
EDIT:: Just realized the fae's official name in the import sheets was flipped. That's embarrassing |D; ::EDIT+
Sorry about the spam, folks! I was trying

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

UPDATE [1#] Swapping characters/Powers/Locations~Alrighty, I haven't done much recently thanks to writers block, lack of inspiration
and mainly because I have glandular fever.
First of all, I'm changing 942 to Vex.
942 was based on DragonV0942 :iconDragon-V0942: but it's kinda unfitted him now, he's becoming an internet celebrity, and Barely talk to him. Hell I didn't even tell him.. Who knows, I may tie him in again somehow.
Vex shall still be Australian, but somehow I'll tie it that lots of planets have accents identical
to the Australian accent. Or something like that.
Mary Shall have the ability to read totem cards, predicting the future a little, but not fully clear.
She will also later be able to use special cards to summon boosters for the gang.
I have a big plot plan for Albus and an evil organization, but haven't been able to clear
that up and write about it.
May put a short story of a detour on chasing two pokemon into pallet town, And
Get Wolf a new PokeDex.
Other locations I will include at some point is an abandoned fair

Our modest preview, subjected for your enjoyment.

You don't have to make an account of any type to read, and please leave all comments here (if you wanna make a comment there, you do have to make an account, but not to read it.

)

Please, you have no idea how much I would love your comments and critique! (Just make sure crit is constructive, not insulting, guys!

) I hope it helps you to become more interested in the two characters, and further intrigued over the others! If it's met well, I might give one more of Caos and Drego's meeting.

(As a side note, I'm slightly sad we chose thid one, as it makes Madelyn seem a bit weaker than she actually is--it was a lot of emotional angst at that moment--but it shows lots of good stuff, so it was the best choice.)

Already told you how much I love this preview. It is really good in writing and I love the way you put the words. They really created a pleasant image in my head that ran like an interesting adventure movie. I like these kinds of books. I'd really love to read the book itself someday!

Also, I have to apologize I've not been commenting on any of your stuff yet... I've been so busy and I can barely keep up with my messages... ;-;

=ToAtoneArt Dec 3, 2012 Professional Writer

Aw, your words are so sweet! We really appreciate them, because we work hard on the books and hope that people enjoy them.

Not even a problem, hun. Real life and other things are more important than making comments on our little pictures. :3

~DeeryDeerth Dec 6, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Anytime now.

But I will still try to support and encourage art as I can.

We have a lot of strong women, and gallant men. Let's set a good example for the next generation of readers!

=ToAtoneArt Dec 3, 2012 Professional Writer

Hopefully guys like Bruce and Zakk will show girls what good examples of guys are. I only hope they don't go after guys like, honestly, Cobalt with his horrible indecision, and heaven forbid, Andrew who can be a bit of a womanizer. But girls who might like Team Edward or Team Jacob might get into "Team Andrew" or "Team Andross" accordingly. Who knows? XD
