Deviation Actions
No sooner are you settling down into a quieter, coffee-stain-on-a-paperback small-town life, that someone comes knocking on your Detective Agency door. There's something suspicious going on, and it's up to you, the newcomer detective in this fog-bitten place called Los Diablos, to figure things out.
This is your chance to make a name for yourself and your agency.
Your task is to follow your target for however long it takes to get to the bottom of things. Once you have the facts, you will be writing them up for your supervisor and your client.
Your stake-out coffee expenses are on the line--and the safety of the town too, of course.
Rules:

Rules:
- 1. Piece must be submitted as a Literature deviation. If you include images, they may be previews or linked to the main text contest entry in the Artist's comments. 2. The piece can be in any format (story, report, list, notes, etc) and it can be from any point of view (first person, third person) as long as it makes sense. 3. There is no work (or word) limit, but don't skimp and make it too short! You need something solid to back up your expenses. The Detectives Union encourages its members to aim for 1,000-5,000 words or so. 4. Entries will be judged on the following criteria:
- a. Creativity. b. Readability. c. Awesomeness.

Ten years, and a couple cute dogs
Earlier this week, I realized it's been over a decade that I've been a member of deviantART. Wow. Ten years this may, from poetry to photography to prose to more photography to digital art. It's pretty intense, but the biggest thing that hit me when I logged into this account after this long hiatus was the reminder of all the wonderful people I've met along the way.
If you'd like to keep in touch, and I hope you do, you should watch me over at ninebark (https://www.deviantart.com/ninebark). We will chat and note and comment and have an amazing time. And if that's not enough, let me bribe you with some pretty pictures:
Come say hello and tell me what you've been up to,

This is kinda how I'm feeling now, but beats me if I know why.
Life is good. Cat is healthy (finally). Work is only kinda nibbling at my soul. Research is meandering. Writing is happening. Food is delicious.
Spring is coming.
Naiya approves.
Hello hello again!
First of all, I want to launch a humongous thank you in Halatia (https://www.deviantart.com/halatia)'s direction. Meg selected one of my poems for today's DD--I'm superflattered and superhappy. Maybe this will be the kick in the tooshie that will get me a little more active on dA again, and (maybe maybe) writing again. :dalove:
What have I been doing and where have I been?
I've been all sorts of crazy these last few months--and it doesn't look like it'll change anytime soon. I will be continuing full time in grad school, and then doing a part time job and a full time internship (now won't that be fun?) while keeping up with my baby book review site and working on an editi
Write a character into real life
I came across this jewel of a news story just a few minutes ago: Dr. Conan T. Barbarian loses tenure at Trinity College
His profile indicated he had been "ripped from his mother's womb on the corpse-strewn battlefields of his war-torn homeland, Cimmeria, and has been preparing for academic life ever since".
So, in the spirit of awesomeness, I challenge you to write a fictional character into real life! Did Sherlock Holmes sign up for Livejournal? Is Alice applying to join the police force? Has Luke Skywalker taken over a multinational corporation as CEO?
What would their website profile look like? Their wikipedia article? Their biography?
