Daily Literature Deviations is a group dedicated to promoting the work of Literature artists on deviantArt.
By showcasing one featured Daily Deviation per day the Literature Community Volunteers provide the community with a showcase of excellence in Literature. In contrast, we will be showcasing excellence with a series of literature pieces each day in a News Article to serve the community. We are a diverse group featuring 5 pieces of quality literature every day.
In such a large community many artists feel that their work goes unnoticed. We are here to help change that!
You can visit our profile page here DailyLitDeviations or our group here Daily-Lit-Deviations

There is a "6-month rule" which means an artist cannot receive another DD if they have had one in the last 6 months. Daily Deviation selectors are limited to a maximum of one selection per day. This has been put in place to focus on quality vs quantity. If there is no one assigned to an area you want to suggest a DD to, please note moonbeam13 with your DD suggestion. Please suggest to only ONE person, do not send the same suggestion to multiple people - it causes great confusion.
---
(Note--If you just want to suggest a piece for a DD, you may send your suggestions to BeccaJS, DorianHarper, neurotype-on-discord, inknalcohol, OR SingingFlames (who only does Fanfic). You can find their individual guidelines on their pages.)

How to Suggest: Find a piece of literature you think should be featured as a DLD or DD. Send your suggestion VIA NOTE to the appropriate Admin--please keep in mind that for DLDs, some of us ONLY feature poetry, some of us ONLY feature prose, some of us can feature both, and some of us ONLY feature foreign language pieces. Confused? Go here-- dailylitdeviations.deviantart.… --for a general overview of who features what.
If you are suggesting to a DLD Admin, PLEASE MAKE SURE you go read our guidelines--you can find them here: dailylitdeviations.deviantart.…
If you are suggesting a piece for a DD to inknalcohol, PLEASE MAKE SURE you go read his guidelines--you can find them here: grimface242.deviantart.com/jou…
If you are suggesting a piece for a DD to DorianHarper, PLEASE MAKE SURE you go read his guidelines--you can find them here: dorianharper.deviantart.com/jo…
If you are suggesting a piece for a DD to neurotype-on-discord, PLEASE MAKE SURE you go read their guidelines here: neurotype.deviantart.com/journ…
ALSO--YOU ARE allowed to send in Fan Fiction suggestions, BUT ONLY FOR DDs. If you'd like to suggest a piece of Fan Fiction for a DD for this contest, send your suggestions via note to SingingFlames. You can find her guidelines here: singingflames.deviantart.com/j…
For this contest, you MUST suggest a piece to me (either poetry or prose), a piece to the Lit CV of your choosing ( either inknalcohol OR DorianHarper OR neurotype-on-discord ), AND a piece to one other DLD Admin of your choosing. That's right--this time, you're suggesting in THREES, not twos, because that ensures DorianHarper, neurotype-on-discord and inknalcohol get notes. We all need to start suggesting more, anyway, yes?

Got it? Good! HERE'S THE DEAL!
Starting December 15th--TODAY--the contest will be officially open. It will last until January 15th. I will be accepting prize donations throughout that month, so if you'd like to donate, please do! Any little thing helps!
The Rules:
You are required to send ME a DLD suggestion, AS WELL AS sending one DD suggestion to the Lit CV of your choosing AND one DLD suggestion to another DLD Admin of your choice.
This contest will run for ONE MONTH (so, from December 15th to January 15th).
FOR EVERY THREE suggestions you send in--so that means your suggestion to me PLUS your DD suggestion PLUS your suggestion to another DLD Admin--you will be given a tally (or point, if you will). Whoever has the most points at the end will win! There will be a first, second, and third place for this--and maybe one or two honorable mentions depending on how things go.
PLEASE ONLY INCLUDE ONE SUGGESTION PER NOTE--this helps us keep track of how many you suggest. I know last time, I piled all the suggestions into a note folder and then counted them at the end to match them up with the rest of the Admins' suggestion counts. It was much easier to do them if there was only one suggestion per note. Besides, that's sort of how we PREFER our suggestions be sent in, anyway. 
When sending your DD and DLD suggestions in, PLEASE INCLUDE the following:
I am participating in TwilightPoetess's DD and DLD Suggestion Contest.
IF YOU DON'T INCLUDE THIS, YOU WON'T BE GIVEN POINTS, SO MAKE SURE YOU INCLUDE IT IN EVERY SUGGESTION NOTE!
Please note: If you DO NOT send a DLD suggestion to another Admin AND a DD suggestion to the Lit CV of your choosing, YOU WILL NOT be given points. Please make sure you follow the rules, guys.
ALSO--You must send in suggestions of OTHER people's work. No self-suggesting, please. That's cheating.
