Unnamed Lipogram How many roads did I pass,
my partings always too short and to a point,
with ubiquitous hostility?

I still risk a crossing on occasion,
in muddy boots and what suits that particular day;
always fitting, but not in fashion, I'm afraid.

Out in this no man's land,
trust is too rich a luxury for most.
'Nobody is about for nothing', although I am, usually.

It's this random motivation that disturbs, I think,
and draws curious looks from passing cars,
all full up and striking out on trivial campaigns.

I long for sand and surf, or subtly sloping mountains,
although plain farmland will do (at a push).
At dusk, I plod back.Unnamed Lipogram by ~LiKNa

The Town in the Tall Grass The Town in the Tall Grass

Li walked with his head bent forward, so that all he could see was the ground beneath his feet. He had sensitive eyes, and the harsh evening sun blinded him every time he tried to look straight ahead.
His map showed a string of villages along this road, but so far he had come across nothing but mile after mile of tall, wild grass. He plodded on resolutely anyway.
There was a mountain range on the horizon, and as the sun slowly disappeared behind one of the taller peaks, Li was startled by a bright flash of light in front of him. He looked up sharply, squinting against the glareThe Town in the Tall Grass by ~LiKNa

Tunneler If Dannie had a mouth, he might have been yelling something. Lacking a corporeal body, he chose instead to repeat a string of swear words over and over to himself. The star system he had so enthusiastically thrown himself into was slightly more complicated than he thought, and he found himself dodging gravity wells on all sides.
Although, 'dodging' wouldn't be the most appropriate word to use. Like a marble rolled along a rippled beach, Dannie tended to move along the dips and curves in space-time made by whatever celestial bodies happened to be nearby. He did have some control over where he went, but it was the kind of control that depenTunneler by ~LiKNa

Tots and Teens: The Children's Literature Contest

Just what are the merits of children's literature? Or are there any? Is it somehow more palatable and less merit-worthy than adult literature? Or is that just the opinion of adults who have forgotten what it's like to be a child? Well, you tell us. Your task is simple. Write us a piece of children's literature in any or all of the following three categories:

Poetry

Traditionally, children's poetry tends to have very exact rhyme and rhythm. It will usually tell a clear story, very often with a big dose of humour and without a great d

Clean up your Lit!Clean up your lit!

As spring is upon us, it is the time of year for refreshing. A fresh outlook, new life and of course everybody’s favourite job that involves removing muck from windows, throwing out old clothes, and of course reacting those cupboard tops you haven’t touched since last spring- yes its time for spring cleaning! In deviantArt, it is also time to wave your feather dusters about- it’s time to clean up you lit!

The literature galleries have been in a state for a while now. The huge amounts of miscats that plague the galleries are overshadowing the pieces in the right place, as well as leaving the deviant putting

ProsePlease Q and A: FebruaryInterview with lovetodeviate

This month’s ProsePlease Q&A features Aditi, better known to the literature community as lovetodeviate. A deviant since late 2004, Aditi has been a stand out in the literature community, pushing critique, and organising projects like Writers-Workshop and ‘Advice for a Young Writer.’

How long have you been a writer, and what first got you started?

I used to say that I started writing in the ninth grade when I was asked to write an essay and substantiate with quotes: I was too lazy to research, so I made up a poem and attributed it to some nondescript name, and my teacher bought it. That’s the

Man, it's been a long time since I updated this :/

I'm working full time now as well as attempting to write a novel, so I really haven't had time to think of much else. Travelling to and from the place I work is exhausting and time-consuming, so I'll probably be looking for somewhere more convenient in the near future. Until then, though, I've got zero free time.

I checked my messages this morning to find that I won something in !lovetodeviate's Lit Crit Contest, which was great. I've never won anything like that before! Thanks to all the judges who liked my crit.

I see that I had a word count thing going on the last time I posted here. That now stands at just below 30,000 words, and should have increased fairly dramatically by the end of the weekend.

Hello! I wanted to take a minute to thank you for your wonderfully detailed and well-considered critique of Averted. Your points are solid; lots of "why didn't I think of that" stuff. Thanks for spending so much time on my story, it helps a lot. I'm actually looking forward to re-drafting this one!

Thanks, I didn't see that one coming at all!

I really need to figure out why people keep thinking I'm female, though!

!lovetodeviate Jan 14, 2008

Lol, I'm one of those awful people then. I blame your username. Anything that ends with 'a' or 'i' sounds female to me. Maybe I blame my Indianness more. Sorry!

Is Indianness the feminine of Indian?
