Here at Word-Smiths, we have a wealth of talent. Take a meander through our gallery! It's chockful of genius. Here are just a few pieces for your perusal.
Let's start off with prose. There's everything from gulls eating at a Croatian restaurant to what happens when we die – so dive in and read.

Chat!
OK, true confession. I am a (semi-)recovered chat addict. I hung out in the old AOL chats way back in the mid '90s (I'm showing my age), back when the web ran through a phoneline and AOL charged by the hour. So I'm ridiculously happy about folks in the lit community camping out in the dA chats in a new chat, appropriately named #CommunityLit. It's a hub for critique and stuff like that -- more will be unfolding soon, so watch for it.
An associated group, CommunityLit (https://www.deviantart.com/communitylit), has some keen things will be going as well (have you written your slinky yet?) -- so look out for that, too.

This competition inspired me to write two poems that I'm glad have been written, contest or no contest. What I mean is -- to place or not to place, it helped me birth two poems that I can feel good about. And, as brendan said, so many works submitted were all quality. Everyone wins in one way or another. So having said that, let me congratulate ALL who won, and all who entered, and to the man who made it all possible!
And... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
