dreaming souls and mortalitymagical worlds
in the shadow:
self-created illusions.
do you actually think i am sane?

south sea
feels like home.
let's explore
somebody's blues,

taste the crush of a sunset's dying blush.
last smoke--then we go to hell.

Writers of the Revolution, July 7thHello revolutionaries! I just want to apologise for the belated Writers of the Revolution post and the complete lack of blogs for the past two weeks. Three of our Directors and several other admins are away, so we're running at half-speed at the moment. A lot of discussion is happening in the Back Room as to how we can sort things out. We are definitely open for submissions again, and we have the blogs back on track now, but please forgive us if we take a while to get to things.

Thanks for your patience.

Anyway, without further ado, I will turn to the blog, because the writer featured here is spectacular and far more deserving of your attention:

Demonstrably Deviant: Issue VAbout
Sometimes we meet members of DeviantART who are just plain cool. They leave critique, they make great art or write great stories, they participate in groups and are generally just active and fun to be around. They also don't get any attention because being cool means you don't need attention to keep being cool. This interview series is meant to give all of you a small glimpse into the minds of these demonstrably deviant members. Twice monthly, I'll interview one of these deviants and feature work from their gallery. If you'd like to see someone interviewed for this series, just shoot me a note

with the subject "Demonstrably Deviant".

This week's featured deviant is `thetaoofchaos!
Another somewhat mysterious, elusive deviant, `thetaoofchaos is a name you've probably seen around the literature community. Active in many groups and projects, Shane strives to produce and bring to light quality literature pieces. But who, you might have found yourself wondering at some point, IS this mysterious, wonderful poet? I hope this interview will help give you a small bit of insight.

This week's featured deviant is `dreamsinstatic!
I started writing as a child, making little books about cartoon characters, including creating my own. I grew serious about writing in high school where I joined the literary magazine and won several awards. I continued to pursue my interest in college, though I have yet to finish. Life stood in the way but I am currently a Psychology major heading towards my degree.

I am always open to discussion or random conversation. &

Fabulous Friday Feature 9: Obsessions

Greetings, all, and welcome to my ninth
FABULOUS FRIDAY FEATURE
This week, I'm doing something a bit different. I've done so many wonderful themed features lately, I decided I'd have a bit of a sit-down this week and reflect a bit. So this week, I am going to feature three pieces each by artists I've been obsessed with lately around the site. But there are a LOT of deviants, so bear with me! There are plenty of different styles and media, so there should be something here for everyone. Next week, expect some winter madness! If you've got someone you think should be featured in next Friday's Feature, send me a note with a link to their gallery and I'll take a peek

I'd also love to hear about other features, particularly themed ones. I'll list those in the bottom section to help spread the word! The same goes for contests or news articles!
Please favorite this journal and pass it on! And if you liked this

The lovely `FuzzyHoser, otherwise known as Rachel, can be found in the middle of a vast field of words. Friendly and approachable, Rachel strives to bring her love of words to every piece she posts on dA--her distinctive accent only helps put her personality at the forefront. But looking at her dA profile as a new-comer, you might find yourself asking: Who is this mysterious soul? What draws her to a piece or style of writing

Fabulous Friday Feature 17: Gardens

Greetings, all, and welcome to my seventeenth
FABULOUS FRIDAY FEATURE
This week, I'm brightening up a grey winter with GARDENS. Unfortunately, I have to announce that there will not be a theme to next week's feature. I have made an executive decision based on my work load at grad school, and until further notice, I will simply be posting exceptional pieces I find over the course of the week. If you've got someone you think should be featured in next Friday's Feature, I AM EVEN MORE DESPERATE FOR YOUR SUGGESTIONS, and I'd love it if you would send me a note with a link to the deviation in question and I'll take a peek

Review Competition *CLOSED*Update 15/2/13: Competition has CLOSED for month one.
The Review Project, Competition... Thing
Hi guys! Well it's not so much a competition as it is a project in which you can win prizes... the idea came to me and I thought I'd share it with you all.
NB: There are copies of this blog post to take comments from here and here.
Your Mission (should you choose to accept it):
Is to go to the profile of a writer that you like on DeviantART and leave them a review. Not on a specific thing they've written but about them as a writer.
Over my years here on DA I have kind of collected these reviews, and when I self published my poetry collections I used them on the back of my book because some of them were just so sweet.
Perhaps the person you review will add your thoughts on them to their DA page, or to their writing website to help other people get an idea about who they are as a writer.

The Famed Baking Knights of Cashew

by ~disrhythmic, Oct 31, 2012, 9:21:24 PM
Journals / Art News / Literature

To battle they ride on their ponies of girth,
With bags full of pastries and hearts full of mirth.
You may not believe it, but really, it's true:
These are the famed baking knights of Cashew.

Their rolling pins fair were of strong, solid yew,
And they wielded them justly, and awesomely, too.
Their saddlebags bulged with the finest of bread,
Though some of them carried fresh cookies instead.

For when it was peacetime--no war to be had--
They returned to their real trade, and the kingdom was glad,
For not just protectors, but bakers were they,
Making cupcakes and bread loaves and quiches all day.

Coat of arms? A croissant, with two skillets below--
Not terribly scary or epic, I know,
But they liked it still, and who are we to argue
With the flour-flecked, kind baking knights of Cashew?

Happy breakfast - Croissant I by ~Elaiss-in-iceland

So to battle they went, and though their courage was true
The fight proved too much for the knights of Cashew.
So to clear up bad moods and misfortune divert,
They invited their foes for a nice big dessert.

Pure silliness. I'm not even sorry.

_{the record, I find it ridiculous that I can't submit this to the lit galleries. Can't there at least be a category for illustrated stories? DA's missing a huge opportunity to help the lit community and the visual art community interact!}
