Welcome!

Hello! Welcome to Literature Anonymous! This is a literary group for all types of literature.
:library:


:groups: Joining:

Everyone is allowed to join, just click the button! :eager:

:gallery: Current Group Rules and FAQ: :gallery:


:bulletblue: What kind of literature do we accept? :bulletblue:

All genres of literature are welcome here, as long as it is submitted into the proper folder and follows DeviantArt policies. (So please, no poetry in the prose folder.)


:bulletred: How many deviations can I submit? :bulletred:

Since we are a rapidly growing group, we have decided to lower the submissions to TWO deviations a week, plus your ONE attempt to get a piece into the 'Featured' folder. (This has been implemented to keep your deviantWATCH box from getting overloaded, and to encourage members to only submit their best works instead of half their gallery.) For more details you can read the Help blog [link]

:bulletred: All Gallery folders:
A single approval vote is needed for these submissions, however, this is only to have an overview of what's being submitted and if it's being submitted to the correct folder. There is a possibility to receive feedback or a friendly critique from one of the admins. If a submission has excessive errors and is determined to be of extremely poor quality, it may be denied.

:bulletred: The Critique Me folder:
This folder will now be open. so We can catch up and critique all the works that are in there now. If you want to have a piece critiqued then please Do not submit it to the regular folder. As Members you are only allowed a literary piece in the gallery once. So if you want it critiqued then hold onto it. *Tarelgal will try to get as many done in that time frame.

:bulletred: The 'Featured' folder:
This folder features special works only. It requires TWO approval votes from the admins to be accepted. Please note that there is a TWO week deadline for all votes to be counted, and that your entry will not be accepted immediately. If, by any chance, your submission expires, there is a strong possibility that the votes tied. So please, be patient if you submit to this folder, and make sure it is your best work for us to showcase!

Our Featured quality guidelines are here: [link]

:bulletred: The 'Mature Content' folder: Up and open
This folder is specifically for submissions containing mature material, such as ones with strong sensual/sexual themes. Submissions are ONE per week in this folder All of these deviations must strictly follow DeviantArt policy [link] Strong filters will also be required or your submission. If your submission does not have these filters then it will be denied. The Founder *Tarelgal will heavily monitor this folder and ultimately determine what is acceptable and what isn't.


:bulletblue: Oh no! I've spotted a stolen work! :bulletblue:
Please do not submit any stolen works. You will be reported and removed from the group. (If you have spotted any written work that has been stolen, please contact the group immediately.)

:+fav: The Favourite Gallery :+fav:
All members are welcome to post their favorite literature here. Non-member works ONLY! Also, suggesting your own works is not allowed.
(Please note that the same rules for the group apply here.)

Admins

We would like to showcase a very awesome deviant and Administrator of the group --!EmotionsDotCom:iconemotionsdotcom:!EmotionsDotCom

She has helped get this group started in a way that everyone should be able to appreciate, and on behalf of the admins section, we'd like to say thank you and that we will miss you very very much. You really gave us a well meaning and gentle kick in the right direction and got us organized and ready to run this group. Without you, we'd still be scrabbling around trying to figure out what to do. I really appreciate the help you've given us! I'll miss you! <3
----- Alden "~Okamichu"
(if other admins wanna add a note, just do it below mine)

I really had a great time with you here, and you helped us out a lot. Without you, this group wouldn't be were it is today, nor get where it will in the future. Thank you very much for your time and devotion.
En ik zal je toch nog wel lastig blijven vallen, ook al zit je niet meer hier in de groep :meow: hihi ;p
----- :blackrose: "*Shimaira"


I hate to see her go but at the same time I'm glad for the help she has given this group and I will be always be grateful for the help she has given this group.
----- Tyler "=Spaceplanet"


Thank you for your hard work and wonderful input in setting up this group. Your suggestions, opinions and changes were all helpful and we all appreciate you. :D

THINKING BACKWARDS

Begins: May 1st
Ends: August 1st    May end earlier if we get A LOT of submissions...do not worry you will know

Concept: Pick one character from one nursery rhyme.  Create a backstory for that character.  Make sure that backstory you make ties into the nursery rhyme.

If you copy ANYTHING from Shrek I will know.  Be original

Background for Nursery Rhymes: (nursery rhymes will be posted later)

There was a crooked man
Itsy bitsy spider
Humpty dumpty
The Cat and The fiddle
There was an old lady

Rules:

1) Must be a story, no poetry, songs, character information is allowed. Only a complete story can be submitted as entry. You may have a link to character information if it has extra characters.  

2) Must be a character from the ryhme. you may use other characters but it has to make sense for the rhyme.

3) You can make it funny, sad, horror, romanitic, or just dark and twisted. It depends on how you do it.

4) No mature content, these are nursery ryhmes...please don't make the old lady eat all the kids.... Some of us grew up with these in our heads...

5) One entry per person.  You must be a member of the group to participate.  Admins can not participate because they will be judging.


Here is the basic criteria that we admins will be judging on.  I am not going to give you all the details but just so you know that this is what all of the judges will be looking for in the work.  

1) Story
2) connects with rhyme
3) spelling and grammer
4) flows from one line to the next
5) Generally impresses

I am giving you all summer to work these mainly because I want all of you to think very carefully about your backstories.  I do not want something that you just threw together in a few minutes.

To submit: use the Thinking Backwards folder.  

I am currently accepting offers for prizes.  Prizes will be announced at a later date.

:star::star::star::star::star::star::star::star::star::star::star::star::star::star::star::star::star::star::star::star::star::star::star::star::star::star:

Thanks for reading!  

Your Founder with no life...apparently.... :typerhappy:  :heart:

(by the way that                                          ^ is me in the morning  :P )
