Fan Fiction Contest - Freaky Friday!What if one day you woke up to find out you were in the body of your favourite character and they were in your body? What crazy things would happen to you both?
This is what this contest is about: Fan Fic writers are invited to tell us what swapping bodies with a character from any fandom of their choice would be like.

Rules:

Write a short Fan Fiction about your body swap experience with a character in a fandom of your choice.
You must put YOURSELF in their body, and the fandom character in your body. We want to see both characters facing this freaky incident.
You now posses their body and all their powers, but there are limitations. Please refrain from writing anything of sexual nature.
The character now posses your body and has to face reality! So they no longer have their special powers and no one but themselves know about the swap. For example: They would break their hand trying to get coins to pop out of bricks! Or even a co

[CLOSED] The Alternate Universe Contestthis contest is now closed.
do NOT note me!
I will have to tell you it's not valid, and that'll make me sad.

With a tip of the hat to all the people who came up with alternate universes as a way to explore awesome, impossible ideas...I bring you the alternate universe contest for original literature!
This contest is open from January 18-February 18 (PST, aka dA time). No extensions.
The process is simple.
Start with one of your own stories. It doesn't have to be super-fleshed out, but it does need to be written down in some form, even if it's as simple as a series of character sketches and the world they live in.Change something important. There's a lot of options. Ask yourself 'what if X had happened differently' and go from there. Aside from changing key plot points, you may want to significantly alter a character (yes, genderbending is acceptable).
Write it down! Not completely willy-nilly; there will be guidelines, of course. Oh my stars and gart

The Stars of dAr - `Mirz123The Stars of dAr is a series where I interview one member of the deviantART Related (dAr) community each time, about personal and dA related matters. For today we have `Mirz123! She creates fantasic stamps, sometimes fun and silly, but also often with an important and profound message, and always in her recognisable style. She's also an enthusiastic community member in many aspects, and can be found in many corners of the community. But enough about her from me - I'll hand the floor to Mirz herself

Hi `Mirz123, thanks for agreeing to be interviewed
- Please tell us something about yourself!
By day I'm a mom who works as a secretary. By night, I don a cape and create emoticons, stamps, and write Lit. Though, looking at my gallery stats, I'm most-known for my stamps.

Comment Contest - Winner!Almost 100 people participated in my Comment Contest

Thanks so much for all your enthusiasm, I hope you all enjoyed taking part. I can definitely tell that many did, judging by the comment counts I saw going up. Within the week you got to participate, about half of you increased your comment count by hundreds, and 5 participants even made more than 1,000 comments!
These deviants were `Infinite-Heart, ^Nyiana-Sama, ~DeviMonster, *L0NE-W0lf and *Choco-Bunni. Well done all and thank you for your enthusiasm

You have all been featured as a honourable mention... at least! Because of course, only one of you can be the winner. :iconwooooplz:
Actually, just kidding! I have picked TWO deviants who will both receive the full prize set. And here they are!

When it comes to the pure comment count, one person has proven to be truly invincible, leaving her run

Traditional Tuesdays #21Hello, welcome to the 21st week of Traditional Tuesdays. With this I will try to give you a small representation of what you have in store while browsing through the Traditional Gallery. The traditional
gallery is vast and awe inspiring, and this is just a little romp through the sub-galleries. I've picked out 15 deviations for your viewing pleasure. I've had to put a limit on the awesomeness, or the article would be waaaaaaaaaaaay too damn long.

I wish there was more time in the day to browse this awesome gallery, but alas, that's not going to happen. This was just me browsing through the sub categories for a couple of

Gallery Description ProjectMost of you probably are aware that deviantART has a lot of categories. As you've seen over the past few months, we volunteers, in coordination with $Moonbeam13, often help to orchestrate various changes in category structure in order to make the submission and browsing experiences simpler and more advantageous for the community.
That said, there's another aspect of categories which, sadly, often have been overlooked. I'm referring to the Gallery Descriptions. Over time, gallery descriptions have fallen into disarray, leaving many categories with old and outdated descriptions, others with incorrect descriptions, and yet others without a description at all.
At the moment, gallery descriptions are most prominent when submitting new deviations. However, as part of this project, we hope that they will become more evident as you browse the site. One of our goals is to make a simple, navigable category structure focusing on descriptions that are clear, concise, and consistent.

The Stars of dAr: =NAkosThe Stars of dAr is a new series where I interview one member of the deviantART Related (dAr) community each time, about personal and dA related matters. For today we have =NAkos! He's an enthusiastic community member well versed in many different kinds of dA related art - from journal skins to IDs, and from scripts to suggestions, many of which have been implemented. But allow him to introduce himself!

Hi =NAkos, thanks for agreeing to be interviewed
- Please tell us something about yourself!
Hi readers, I am Ákos from Hungary. Basically I am a hobby artist. That means I like to try anything that gets my attention but mostly I am a photographer. On the professional side I am a web developer.

I`m so sorry, but I just now read (the first time when I read the rules, didn`t properly understand this clause) that the second man in the photo must be registered on the deviantArt. It's not too late, if she signs up today?

When does judging start?

~Junniechi May 24, 2012 Student General Artist

Hi there, I have placed my deviation under A Whole New World Contest section >> [link]

But I did not see my entry there D8 & as far as I have checked I did not violate the rules (& I have joined #comunityrelations as a member too) May I ask what is wrong with it?

Sorry for the trouble & have a nice day!

`CreativeJenn May 24, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

Hmm...there must be some sort of glitch dear, because I can see that your entry is the first deviation on the Newest section.

Nonetheless, I can see it perfectly so don't worry about it! If you have additional trouble with submissions though, don't hesitate to let me know.

~Junniechi May 24, 2012 Student General Artist

Alright, thank you for the information >W< *hugs*
