lacoterie is a group about being as much of a virtual friendly corner coffee shop as possible, a place where ideas are tossed around and cemented and change is welcomed and encouraged and not just used as tips for the baristas. Throughout the month of May, we're running our annual Transgressions Contest on the theme of "Vices and Virtues", open to both poetry and prose.
SolutionsSanctuary is a group that aims to dispel myths and cure complaints around deviantART. In May we'll be focusing on navigation around dA!
