I didn't mean to drop off the face of the dA!
I really didn't. It just happened.
I don't really like eclipse. It's needed and great for new artists, but it feels a little soulless and not designed for writers, which stopped me coming on. Luckily on the laptop it looks like you can switch back to old mode, which is comforting.
This current situation is definitely pulling me back here.
How is everyone coping with the Covid lock-down life? Are you even locked down? This is week 4 for us and I am also not working at the moment due to furlough. For a busy project manager that is hard! My kids are at home, husband is still working from home so just making the most of things and trying not t
If Writer-Workshop relaunched...
Hello
If WW relaunched, what would get you involved? Is it new prompts for new work, new prompts for current work, a chance to play with current work or just a chance to talk about your current work? Do you want feedback? Do you want to commit to something? Do you want to help shape this?
We are a very big group with very little interaction.
I am not making any fast promises, just a pondering at the moment which may turn into something. However it needs a bit of energy from you guys for anything to happen, so what would interest you?
Share your thoughts, spread the word. Eclipse may not make us fancy, but literature has always been about
2019 Horizon
Well I think I have finally recovered from the madness of Critmas. Only 11 months and we'll probably do it all again.
January is moving so quickly that it's odd to think that exactly a month ago today was Christmas day. Back to work, back to reality and wondering when my next break is!
The change you will all notice is that in a matter of days, I shall no longer be a CV.
I decided a while ago that it was time to move on and let someone else have a stab at it, but took time based on wanting to see what Eclipse held for lit and to ensure a well supported lit team were left behind. This will have been the end of almost 8 years (with a break b
Critmas: The Results.
8 years ago, I started a small community challenge to encourage people to offer a little bit of critique for their fellow deviants. Back then, it was a simple challenge with no team, no bonus games and a handful of awesome people participated. We were happy with the 100+ delivered in just 12 days. Fast forward to now and some individuals got more than our total in year one. This is crazy and I love it!
Just to put into perspective, here are the totals for the previous years:
2011- 120
2012- 120
2013- 158
2014- 366
2015- 206
2016- 917
2017- 1213
2018- 1375 critiques delivered.
YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!

1. Do you regularly check todays DDs?
Yes, I do check them and comment on them, if I like them. However I do not congratulate the artist on the DD because I find it rather stupid. I can imagine the artist getting loads of messages (Imagin you log on and suddenly see that you have 100 Notes!) and being slightly frustrated if they are all like "Congrats on the DD"
2. What encourages/discourages you from suggesting DDs?
Until recently I was only in the fanart part of DA and additionally I didn't quite know how to suggest a DD (I know now).
3. What would you like to see DD'd?
Um, what kind of answer do you want? A specific piece of artwork/literature or just a genre?
4. You are a lit animal, what kind of animal are you?
A cat. I am obsessed with cats. Although, maybe I'd be an owl too. Owls are cool. I guess I'd be an owl-cat hybrid. A cawl?!
5. What are you doing this weekend?
Visiting my grandmother! She lives in a really small town so I'll come back with lots of inspiration.
