What is this business?!
This is a small update on what's going on around the literature community, that's what this business is. The idea is to try and make the community more readily accessible for everyone, whether you're new or have been here for a while.
Please note: these updates will not be all-encompassing in terms of community happenings, as the community is quite frankly rather large. Instead, this article will focus specifically on things that are currently ongoing, or happened within t

Site Update: January 12, 2012
It's 2012, and it's time for the first Site Update of the year!
Just a little while ago, we posted the latest Sta.sh updates and asked you for more feedback. Now, in this update, you'll find all the feedback from those 500+ comments gathered into the Known Issues section below, just after the Change Log, which will tell you about some brand new features launching today, as well as all the bugs fixed since the last update.
The last update was all about Sta.sh, and there are some pretty big Sta.sh announcements this time too, but this update features any changes that have been made to deviantART, Profiles, Messages, Sta.sh, everything!

This mentions thing just makes everything more annoying, because it tells you every time someone posts a thumb of one of your deviations. This sounds like a great thing, right? Unless you make/have made emoticons, since those are generally made to be used in conversations.
So there's an opt out option, which is good. But what if someone makes a comment actually linking to something you made for the sake of linking to it? And having them link back to your name with :dev(username): seems to create a notification too. There is one opt
A sign that you are doing art all wrong: an hour long speed paint forces you to slow down and look at the details. You know, the opposite of what speed painting is supposed to do.
I have been attempting to relearn to draw, something I do every now and then. Most of the time I'm happy just drawing silly cartoon things, sometimes I actually want to bother to actually learn. I am trying to find the line that does not want to make me put things through walls.
I fully recognize that part of my problem is that if I try to hard then I stop wanting to draw. If drawing is not fun for me then I don't have my normal outlet for coping with life. If I c
