Every week, we collect and feature some of the outstanding submissions to our gallery.

Each item is hand-picked by our admins, and presented with a small introduction to make browsing easier. Here we offer you a selection of interesting, quality work for your appreciation and encouragement.

This last week brought us the end of the Moral of the Story contest. Well done to all who entered.

Be sure to check them out in the Contest folder.

The entries are currently being judged. Stay tuned for the results.

Update to Submission Guidelines

After much discussion among the admin team, we have decided to amend one of the submission guidelines in our Group Rules. This amendment is in regards to the use of preview images and/or thumbs in literature pieces, and has come about in an effort to improve the experience of our members, and fellow deviants in the wider dA community.

The amended rule is below, and will take effect from June 16 2014.

Thumbnail Images (or preview images) are permitted so long as you own the image, or the image is sourced from deviantArt AND you have permission to use the image from the deviant who created it. Images from other sites, including Google Search, or those which we believe are in breach of deviantArt's copyright policy, will not be permitted.

How does this impact me?

The submission process will not change, so you can continue to submit your work as per usual. If your work has a preview image that is not already cited in your artist's comments, one of our admin team will contact you to confirm where the image is from, before your work is accepted.

This Week's Features

Pathetique by notCindyChen

"Her name was Aria, and she talked through her music."

A beautiful short piece about a girl who communicates through the form of music, and the narrator's journey to understand her.

Purgatory by perilousrealms

"The vampy lipstick always bled into the fine lines rimming her lips. It made her mouth look slightly out of focus in her sallow face."

This short story is filled with wonderfully vivid imagery and great tension and suspense.

DAD by wordturner

"More than a man..."

A lovely short poem, in honor of Father's Day, about our wonderful dads.
