Deviation Actions
Celebrating the release of Half-Blood Prince!
To celebrate the release of the movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the Fan Art Department hosted a Character Bonanza where deviants submitted an artwork every day for sixteen days of the characters assigned!
Keeping the news articles thumbnail friendly, I'm breaking up the articles into parts so that all of the artwork can be enjoyed equally over the course of a couple weeks! Take a peek at what our wonderful deviants came up with for each day!
Thank you to all who participated!
Since it is the last article, I'd like to congratulate hyenacub, Rose-Rayne and thrivis who participated in every single day! You three will be going up onto my winners wall!
Day Fourteen: Fleur Delacore - July 29thh
Day Fifteen: Hagrid - July 30th
Day Sixteen: Free Character Day! - July 31st

Let The Flames BeginIt all happened so quickly. The next thing I knew, the Burrow was in flames. I saw the fire, heard it’s roar, smelt the burning wood, felt the heat, tasted ash, but still, my mind refused to believe my senses. This is a nightmare. It must be.
The wind whipped through the rushes, sending the flames into a frenzy. Pieces of the roof began to fall to the ground. Ashes fell around me like snow.
A piece of scorched parchment flew towards me on the breeze and I caught it. It was a picture that Fred and George had drawn for me when they were quite young. It showed the entire family as stick figures standing out in the garden; Arthur, me, Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, Ron, and Ginny. The sun was shining brightly at the top of the page, and the Burrow loomed over us, a welcoming sanctuary. The parchment was smoldering; the caricature of the Burrow was almost completely burned off. Something in the back of my mind told me this was irony.
I sat down slowly, still staring at the picture

Hi friends
Update from the Help Desk
We want to be completely transparent and own up to the fact that we’ve fallen behind in response times from the Help Desk.
We’re sharing this with you because we know that we need to do better and wanted to assure you that we’re taking steps to make sure that we address any and all concerns as quickly as possible.
As a team, we are re-evaluating and streamlining the way customer service functions on DeviantArt, and although we can’t say there will never be issues, we can say there will be a noticeable increase in response times.
More than ever before, our goal is to make sure deviants know they come first.
What are you reading?
Hi friends!
No secret that I read a lot, and I'm usually reading a couple of books at a time. Curious to know what you're reading?
I'm currently in the middle of The Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson and A Darker Shade of Magic by V. E. Schwab :heart:
Leave a comment and let me know what you're reading or if you've recently read something awesome! :#1:
#WatchForever
I've been around for a while, even though it seems like lately I haven't been around much on the journal front. I've been meaning to get back to it, but gosh life is so busy sometimes. It's been such a crazy few years, and I finally feel like I'm getting to a place both career-wise and just life-wise that I'm understanding what happiness really means.
ikazon (https://www.deviantart.com/ikazon) mentioned me in his #watchforever journal, and it really made me think about all of the friendships I've made here, all the people I've sort of grown up with. I'm thirty now, crazy, right? I've spent a third of my life with you amazing folks, and I honestly don't know where I'd b
