Top-10 of 2012This is something I do every year, look back on my gallery and pick my top fave deviations. It's nice to see how far you've come. Though, this year, looking back was rather sad. This was a bad year for me. I ended up getting a very serious art block that lasted 6 months. In June and September, there was only 1 art-piece uploaded. Some months, it was only my Emoticon Journal. 2012 was a hard year for me.Nevertheless, there WAS art, and the lack of art helped me narrow down my top-10 (though it was still a difficult choice):10 - This pic really has a lot of sentimental value to me, as it was a depiction of my happiness for receiving a Daily Deviation on my writing. It also showcases something that I found a lot of joy in doing this year--micro-pixelling. I had a ton of fun trying to create recognizable pictures in very tiny pixels. I think I got rather good at it, too.9 - As with other art, I didn't do a ton of stamps this year, but I did create

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGI'm so happeh! I got a 20x20 lustre print of !!!!!!!!!I have been looking at this print for almost a year dreaming of owning it and wondering when I would be able to buy it. Today I was walking up my long driveway to get the mail, not expecting much. I approach the mailbox and see a strange tube sticking out. I take the rubber band off the mailbox holding the tube in and slide it out; when I see the dA sticker on it, I knew immediately what it was. I sprint down the driveway(or at least as fast as I could with oversized slippers on) and take it inside and I was right!Thank you mysterious gifter! And I hope I find out who you are so I can spam you with that yous.c:Also I hope to be more active coming late July. I just wanted to give a little shout out so maybe I can find out who gave the print to me.
Helpful InformationFYI...This journal shall be a place for helpful information that writer's may benefit from. We hope to list information that is not so common-knowledge and other tid-bits that are useful and interesting.Length of WorksA question often asked is what number of words constitutes a novel. While NaNoWriMo states a novel at 50,000, the industry has some different guidelines. Note that different people and publishers have different thoughts on this, but in general, here is how it goes... 500-1,000 words - Flash story 1,000-10,000 words - Short story 10,000-40,000 word - NovellaTechnically, anything over 40,000 words constitutes a "novel." However, many publishers will not put-out a book under 60,000 words Though, more are inclined to publish a 50,000 word book than a 40,000 word one. As a result... 40,000-60,000 - Novelette or "Novel Lite" 60,000 and
New Look, New Beginnings...What's New!As you can see, we have a new journal skin and avatar for the group. We wanted something to convey the laid-back feeling of the group.

So, keep a look-out.
DD Suggestion Guidelines(Revised July 18th, 2012)Suggestion GuidelinesI only take suggestions from the dA Related gallery.Ensure the deviant hasn't already received a Daily Deviation within the past 6 months.:faq313:If you are suggesting several deviations from the same artist, please keep them in one note.Please let me know if you'd prefer your suggestion to be anonymous.You may suggest yourself.You may also suggest deviations from these additional galleries:Resources and Stock > Tutorials > dA RelatedPersonal PreferencesAll community volunteers have different taste, as a result we all look for different things when featuring Daily Deviations. Here's a more detailed insight into what I look for when I choose to feature something as a DD.I apologize for it being so long. Unlike some galleries, the dA Related gallery offers quite a diverse range of mediums/categories - so I have to explain each one. Deviant Sta
