Last round was an awesome one with an amazing turnout of fabulous writers and artists alike! A full recap on it is available here.
I'm unfortunately not able to fully dedicate my time to this round this year, so allow me to present to you your new admin, Eclectinique. She's already helped out by drafting up this post and kicking everything offI'll still be around, but she'll be the one doing a lot of the legwork. If you have any questions, I suggest you note both of us (if you haven't done that before, you can just type multiple users in the "to" field of a note). We hav

Feature O' Friends #26Time for another issue of Feature O' Friends! This series is aimed at developing and nurturing community spirit by allowing members to suggest a friend to be featured in the next issue. Those who suggest a friend can have their art featured as well.
How to Feature
Interested? Come on, we'd love to see who you're willing to suggest! But before you do any suggesting, here are some guidelines and steps you should take in order to participate.
First, think of a friend who you think deserves a feature, and write up to 5 sentences why you think your friend should be featured.
Choose two deviations from their gallery and paste the thumb codes of them here. Make sure to delete the last : from the thumb code so that it is easier for us to copy and paste.
Also include the thumb codes of two of your own artworks.
Submit your suggestion as a comment on this journal, and wait for you and your friend to be featured in the next issue.

SilverInkblot is an amazing deviant that tries to help the literature community get what it deserves on dA. She is one of the nicest people I have ever met, and I'm glad I got to meet her
Adi-Beau
You are the nicest boy I know. You have made me even consider myself as a decent person after spending my entire life feeling and thinking otherwise. You have helped me see that not all people are bad and that there are still angels on Earth and our species still has hope thanks to people like you. You are forever denying my comments on how you rock but I promise I wouldn't waste air to lie about that sort of thing.

Praising Life ProjectWelcome to the Praising Life Project
It's really hard for anyone to stay positive all the time. I definitely agree with that.
However, when things go wrong, it's so easy to forget how much you've been blessed. It's amazing that we have the internet, people who care, and hope...
Although there is a lot of bad in this world, there is also beautiful joy and countless things to appreciate.
And that makes me praise life.
The memories, the laughter, the joy, the hugs through hard times.
In this life, we only have one chance! I think one of our life purposes is to spread love throughout this world and leave it in better shape than before we were here.
It would be much appreciated if you help spread the word! (& Comment!)
