Miscellaneous News:
Hey everyone! I hope you guys have all been well. Last week was full of SUPER exciting things for me and my friends around here so I wanna talk about that, a little about the #litapocalypse that's going around (AKA literature submissions not making it to inboxes ), and more BeautyInRawHumanity talk.

DD Stuff:
First of all, last week was exciting because scheherazades and gliitchlord were just shining with amazing posts and a Daily Deviation to top the icing on the cake or the cherry on the sundae. So that's great because they're so freaking skilled and amazing and I love them. You can find their collaboration here: macrocosmic/macrocosmic. (It's the same exact poem though so you better favorite both if you favorite one. )

Then immediately after those two geniuses got a poem, this average-intellect person here got a DD, himself! (click that thing right there -> but i hold my hands out, ad infinitum)  So, that was a complete shock, but I'm so thrilled it was feature because I wrote it for Lissomer, so that piece obviously means the world to me.

Collaborations:
And that came on the heels of me just being on an absolute roll of poetry submissions (and I'll talk about that later since no one was able to see it in their inboxes because DA DOESN'T CARE ABOUT LITE--- *stops rant*), with a lot of them being collaborations! So that was absolutely fantastic and here, let me go ahead and self-advertise because dA DOESN'T CARE ABOUT--- *cuts self off again*

But really, dA has been apparently glitching up literature submissions and if that's why your inbox appears to be so empty, that's the reason why. I want you all to go send in a help ticket here: help.deviantart.com/contact/ and then go check your favorite writers' galleries so you can stay caught up and not be bombarded with literature because it's all been backlogged (presumably).
