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 the past fortnight. If you're looking for something more general and comprehensive, why not give `IrrevocableFate's Love dA Lit a read?

Literature CR Update - March 2012Hello all! As you've probably guessed by the title of the journal and the Community Relations journal skin, this is the monthly update from the literature community volunteers.
Farewell!
As with previous months, March saw some changes to the team, and so if you've not already done so, please send some love and thanks to `Krissi001, `Mollinda, and `peskaa for their work as volunteers!
Lit Central
With spring picking up speed and everything else, the world is starting to get busy, and the lit community on dA is no exception. Here's some stuff that's gone on in the past month, or is currently ongoing:
General lit news

CRLiterature: Now Sponsoring ContestsWe recently sponsored two Halloween contests, and we'd now like to give you or your group this opportunity as well.
Nothing is guaranteed. Of course we'll look over each request carefully and let you know as soon as possible, but there are times when our resources may already be stretched thin.
We'd love to promote community-organized contests whenever possible, so don't let this stop you!
There are some expectations: if you've never run a contest before and participation is uncertain, that's probably not going to stand up so well to a group contest that's being going for four years and already has people sending in their entries. If you're not sure, go ahead and fill it out and we'll let you know what we think.

#CRLiterature
As announced last week, #CRLiterature is now open for membership. Over the year it has been open, it used to be watch only, but `thorns and I want to start building this group into something more interactive and community driven. Over the next few months, we will be adding little elements to the group to achieve this, but we want to know what you as the literature community think you want to get out of this group. Ideally we want to make this a community hub- soon members will be able to cross-post their projects/lit news journals so the information is better spread and we want to encourage more challenges and education too. Please feel free to share your thoughts on this, we want your feedback!

Literature CR News- May 2012Hello all! As you've probably guessed by the title of the journal and the Community Relations journal skin, this is the monthly update from the literature community volunteers.

Farewell and New!
Obviously the biggest news in literature this month is that our very own poop-flinger $wreckling has migrated from the volunteers team to the marketing team! We wish him all the best as he starts his new job. Trevor also recently graduated, so a double bonus May for him! $haldron also has completed the migration!
This month we also said goodbye and thanks to `oilsoaked and `ChewedKandi in the CR team with $namenotrequired taking the community projects gallery
Other news in the CR Team is name changes! For those who venture beyond literature, here are the volunteers who have changed their names:
catboyry is now kit-y
sphilr is now SamuelRaffa

Farewell! Now with more hello!
As with previous months, February saw a few changes to the CR team, so if you haven't already done so, please thank `Casperium, `dammitMEL, `evilsyndicatemember, `shelldevil, and `zandog for their work while on the volunteer team!

May Contest: Navigating deviantART The contest deadline has been extended to June 10th! There will be no further extensions, so get your entries in ASAP!

It's a common complaint...
Particularly for our newer members. "I've set up my profile...now where do I go?"
May's contest aims to answer that question. Your challenge is to create a tutorial aimed at deviantART's new members that shows them as much of the site as possible. Think about when you were new - what areas of the site did you discover only after blundering around? What areas did someone else point out to you? What do you wish you had known as a new member that seems like common knowledge now?
The Rules

You must be a member of #SolutionsSanctuary to enter. All join requests are automatically accepted.

All entries must be created specifically for this contest (uploaded on or after May 10th).

Entries should be uploaded to t

Literature CR Update - April 2012

Tue May 1, 2012, 7:04 PM

Hello all! As you've probably guessed by the title of the journal and the Community Relations journal skin, this is the monthly update from the literature community volunteers.

Farewell and New!
As with previous months, April saw some changes to the team, and so if you've not already done so, please send some love and thanks to `Alexander-GG, `kuschelirmel, `LabyrinthCreations, `Nyiana-Sama, and `ScENeYmE for their work as volunteers! Also, `anmari is now watching over the Architecture Photography gallery along with her chat/forum duties!

Lit Central
April is the cruellest month for writers taking part in NaPoWriMo and Script Frenzy, but that certainly didn't stop community activity! Here's some of what went on during the past month:
