So as my watchers (which isn't too many of you) know, I'm not going to be here for about the next month. So in my absence, I'm appointing both a new administrator and switching back to our old system of deviation approval--that is to say, automatic approval. I'm trusting that you guys will submit your deviations responsibly. The limits are still in effect so that no one submits a crapload of stuff, but I really hope that I won't find too many misplaced devs when I get back, because it's a pain to move those things, especially on a laptop. :C

If anyone has questions, I lose internet access at exactly 2:00 this afternoon, and it'll be off and on since I use my mom's wireless hotspot on the way to camp. After this point, if you have ANY questions of any sort, direct them towards new co-founder HattasMadTeacup. She is in charge of my affairs, of any type.

Continue submitting deviations and being fabulous, guys! I'll see you on the 17th!

I searched through the poetry contest entries from, like, six months ago (because I've been too much of a slacker and a lame admin :C) and I realized that, in essence, we only had two entries. If you were an entrant other than MagicalJoey and murdokdracul, I apologize and I'll fix it, but both of you will get first place since it would be mean to pick a winner out of two, and I LOVED both of your entries. I'm sorry that it took me so long to get this done AND that I didn't pick an official first place (there really weren't enough entries for PLACES XD) so therefor, BOTH of you will win prizes.
I know that I'm having a journal feature and if no one else donates art then I'll donate my lame sketch skills. Should anyone else be interested, comment here or note me.

I'm sorry I haven't been very active, gaiz! Lots of finals, stress, etc. You guys deserve better than lil ol' me for an admin. D:
But in some news: because it has been SUCH a pain with the volume of Mature Devs submitted to the wrong folder (IT SUCKS, MOVING THOSE THINGS! :C) and the deviations in the wrong place, that I've made it so me or another admin has to approve submissions. Mature Deviations not submitted to the Mature Deviations FOLDER will not be approved. If you submit one, it's not accepted. Period. Submit it to the Mature Deviations folder, and then we'll accept it. In the meantime, imma take a snooze.
I mean, UHHHH...contact me if you have any questions. Poetry contest is on indefinite hold, because we didn't get the volume of submissions I was expecting. I'll check out the ones that we have sometime in the next week and score each of them, et cetera. We'll try and get a winner by June 21st, which is when I'm going to be leaving for a month. I'm sorry it took, what, like six months? I am shamed.

Is anyone doing the contest?
No?
Okay, due date (once again!) extended. April 25. DO IT. DO IT OR YOU DIE. XD

First, a message from :icontrilkus:

Hello,
I am from :iconsoul-poets: and I would like to promote my group's weekly blog/news article called "Soul Poetry Features."

Our Soul Poetry article is about poetry. It also gives our members and other writers more exposure to the community. Giving them better critiquing so that they can grow.

I would also like to give our affiliates some exposure as well to the deviantart community. For example writing in our article contests that our affiliates are having or workshops, and also by posting avatars at the bottom of the news article. Anyone is able to suggest a feature to our groups article, and they will get featured with their suggestion.

Thanks for reading,
:icontrilkus:


Second order of business: the critique-o-thon. Is ANYONE participating? I wasn't expecting all of dA to respond, but c'mon guys! Someone? Anyone? The dust on my desk? Does it, at least, want to participate? This is making me sad!

Third: Winter poetry contest folder; don't submit to it if your poem isn't blatantly related to the contest. I'm not even going to look at it before deletion and worst of all, it won't even appear in the group! So be careful when submitting. (it's also a HUGE pain to move all the devs around, and it's easier if you just submit to the right folder to begin with)
Also, please submit to the contest. The only person who is currently participating is :iconmagicaljoey:. And she's an admin. :(

With founderly affection to my favorite group (but don't tell TYA that!),
