Deviation Actions
ProsePlease has recently launched its new section called Community Critics. This new facility has been created to foster skills of critique and sharing, tools invaluable to the writers of DeviantArt. Community Critique not only provides opportunities for prose to be critiqued, but it also rewards community participation. Each fortnight, the member who delivers the best critique earns the right to have one of their prose critiqued the following fortnight.
To celebrate Community Critics, ProsePlease will be holding a weekend of Live Critique in its !dAmn chatroom, #ProsePlease. This event will take place during the long Easter weekend, from Friday the 21st of March 12:00am (midnight) UTC to Sunday the 23rd of March 3:00am UTC. This event is open not just to ProsePlease members, but also to all writers of DeviantArt.
For help converting timezones, feel free to use: Time Zone Convertor.
The purpose of Live Critique is to familiarise all participants with the methods and means of critique, as well as to generate a sense of community. Sometimes, the best way to develop one's writing is to learn from our common faults and weaknesses. Only then can we give our writing the full attention it deserves and consequently, build our craft.
We invite all Prose (and even non-Prose!) Writers to attend. Don't forget to make yourself a cup of coffee/tea to nurture your bodies, as we nurture our minds!
Yours truly,
vampbabe and AxDude
