Cause & Links

:bulletred: Cause
We are TheWriterSantas.
Our group works like any other Secret Santa service would. You add your name to a list (in this case, the sign-up journal each month) then you have your own Secret Santa assigned to you, and meanwhile you are signed up as someone else's Secret Santa!
This is for the writers of dA, so obviously it is for the literature arts and not the visual ones.

:bulletgreen: Sign-ups and Joining
Sign ups start on the day of each holiday, check the journal for the current state of the SS events. If you want to join, as either a member or a Contributer, then please--click the join button! But first read the FAQ and Rules. Links below.

:bulletred: Rules: thewritersantas.deviantart.com…
:bulletgreen: FAQ: thewritersantas.deviantart.com…

As we do SS services all year round, the Sign Up thread has the list of holidays that will be done, and they will also be announced in a journal when they are decided. The current list for 2012 will be:

:bulletred: 2012 Holidays
January: Chinese New Year (23rd)
February: Valentine's Day (14th)
March: National Chocolate Caramel Day (19th)
April: Earth Day (22nd)
May: Be A Millionare Day (20th)
June: Bald Eagle Day (20th)
July: Toss Away The "Could Have"s and "Should Have"s Day (21st)
August: Artist Appreciation Month (19th)
September: National Play-Dough Day (18th)
October: Halloween (31st)
November: Start Your Own Country Day (22nd)
December: Christmas (25th)

Thanks to :iconphantom-wolf42: for making our group icon, also!

The end of October marks the end of another SS session! We had some lovely submissions this month:

The Ties That Bind [And the Ones that Break] [October SS Gift for phillipskid32] Happy Birthday"Thank you Mr. Harrison." Jackson said smiling.
Beep.
He sighed, removing the headphones. He looked around, hoping to see something interesting, but he saw the same old white walls, the same old boring cubicles surrounding him and the same old people busy talking to customers.
He sighed; the decently lit room made it look like it was still noon outside and he hated it…
"Troublesome customer?" asked Jenny.
"Nah, I'm just a little tired today," he said, looking at the clock.
"Well your shift is almost over," Jenny said, following his gaze.
"Yeah," Jackson said, rubbing his temples.
"Man you look awful," Brad said, peeking at him from his cubicle.
"I don't look that awful," Jackson said in a dry voice, "and stop exaggerating everything."
"Well, I'm actor-in-progress," Brad laughed at his own joke.
Jackson groaned, and leaned back in his chair. He sighed again, trying to dim out the background sounds, but to no avail. He looked at a wall lamp until his eyes started throbbing in pain.

You Had me at Hello You had me at helloYou slid down from your normal lunch seat, leaving your friends for me.
I fumbled with my fingers, trying not to do the same with my words
As we began to chat, you told me you liked how how my hair curls
It's crazy how little I knew about girls,
but you were kind, and patient, like you were teaching me to ride a bike.
Little did I know: you'd be the love of my life.
You were my type:
Long hair,
Rockin style.
Your hugs made me ripe.
Your kisses,
Sweet as those romantic nights.
But all great things must end.
I learned that, when you chose him.
Not a year later, you had another man.
I guess that must have been god's plan.
But you had me at hello.
As you very well may know.
Now you want me back? Oh...no.

Hello,

It looks like this group is inactive. I'm trying to kickstart a few new writing groups. Check them out if you're interested. :) 
Story-Specters
This is a writing critique group. It works off of a give-one get-one basis. Folders are routinely emptied to ensure critique requests are from active members.
Write-Fantasy
A Fantasy Literature showcase! Find fantasy writers or display your work. This group is organized by subgenre and offers dedicated folders for members' chaptered works.
Prompt-Write
New writing prompts every month!

***If this group is still active, sorry, and feel free to hide this comment

Nope- there was some trouble with people never completing their pieces, others wanting to take part then never responding, etc. I may reboot it sometime if enough people genuinely want to take part

Nope, I'm afraid not- this session has already started. The next session will start on the 18th of September though and I will post a journal about it, so keep an eye on your watch list!
