About 'Overpricing' thingsMOVE on 'Overpricing': About 'Overpricing' things

[My Opinion Versus Everyone's] Please remember these are simply my opinions and are not meant to imply that you should agree or disagree nor should these prove to be offensive in any way; if I do come across displeasingly then you have my apologies beforehand, thank you.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I see a lot of comments here and there that go something like this...
"50 points?? Why would I pay 50 points for an adopt..."
or...
"100 points? Are you sure you're not overpricing that...?!"
And I'm sure many of you have seen similar comments, now I understand that points aren't the easiest things to accumulate when you're fresh into dA or even well into your time here, as I was once a 13 year old kid who joined dA and got excited over her first 10 points :la: ...which I kept and refused to spend because i
To Praise Life: 5Welcome to To Praise Life! This article series will be a newsletter/feature for those who have participated in my project, as well as a place to find some inspiration. 
It would be much appreciated if you help spread the word! ( & Comment!) 
Contribute to the Project or Donate


I am hoping to reach at least 300 inspiring messages from the community if I can. 
At the end of this year, 2013, 10 calenders and 16 three month PMs will be given away to inspired deviants.(that means random/anyone. )
The calenders to remind you of how special every day is, and PMs because sadly the notebooks are no longer available. 
However, the points cost of this project's completion i
TeamWork- round 2!We're jumping right into a new round of our TeamWork-project!
We were really overwhelmed by the attendance last time, and since so many wanted another round, here we go :la: !
For all those who don't know the project yet, here are some answers to all the questionmarks over your head!
What is the project about?
The aim is to team up two artists to achieve a close and individual learning-experience.
One of the two will be the teacher, whereas the other will be the student. (But our teachers will learn through this project just as much, I'm sure )
Teachers will present assignments to their students and provide them with tools, techniques and lessons to achieve the goal they both decided on.
In the end we'll present all the finished assignments in a big chat event and on our group page!
There also might be prizes for Best TeamWork, Best Final Artwork and Strongest Improvement!
We will provide all teams with tips, rules and guidelines on teaching, as soon as al
NEW BL/ind Dating Service~Dracushit here again, with an exciting new offer. Our top looove scientists have developed a new dating formula to help those who are unlucky in love, like me. Check out me hitting on Kobra. Yeah, I know, how are we not dating already? He's a tough nut to crack. But thanks to the new Better Living Industries Dating Service, I've got someone to tide me over until Kobra realizes what's up. When I joined this program, they paired me with "your right hand." At first I thought "Hey, is this some kind of sick joke?" But it turns out that me and my right hand are perfect for each other. It never sasses me or lets me down, and it loves white gloves as much as I do. Thanks, BL/ind!
I know you must be thinking "Damn, how can I get a piece of this action?" Well, fortunately for you, BL/ind has decided to let Killjoys in on this. Just complete this quiz, post the answers here or note t

More Sketch A Day Announcements!SOOoooooo instead of trying to track down everyone one of you guys, I decided it would be easier to just make a group. XD #Sketch-a-Day-Project Feel free to watch the group if you want! I will invite everyone that said they would do this to the group tommorrow. OvO YOU CAN STILL JOIN IN SKETCH A DAY, JUST COMMENT BELOW. OvO
The concept is simple. You draw a sketch every day and post it online. Or at least every other day for those busy folks! There is no time limit or requirements, this is basically all about self-improvement and applying yourself!

Let's see those feelings! :eager:
Share Your Writing Process:new: Writing this journal, I feel I prematurely posted it. The goal was to get others talking about the writing process and how they approach it, but the emphasis became my work, which is a no-no! So with that in mind, here are some questions to take into consideration (and a silly one, because why not).
Do you feel your writing process is 'fixed,' or that it changes depending on what you are writing?
Do you edit as you write? How does this affect the finished product?
How do you feel your process is unique compared to others?
How come when you call a wrong number, someone is always home?
In addition, if you would like to get involved with this journal on another level and would like to display your writing as you develop it and answer questions about your process, do leave a comment saying so with a link (on dA) to where the writing can be found so that others can watch it progress and keep me updated (I'll most likely watch those that participate, to stay updated).
It's question and answer time again!And this time I will answer both kinds of questions:
Questions about me AND questions about photography!




Whatever may interest you can be posted here. :kiss:
Hugs to you all!

Project #365DaysofMusic Needs Volunteers

:iconnicswaner:

Hello,

Here at #365DaysofMusic we are planning for 2013! I am currently working with =Shuriken95 to bring the group back up to speed and to do that we will need many more staff than we had before! We are restructuring and looking for people who would be interested in joining the team.

#365DaysofMusic is devoted to providing a prompt a day for artists and writers by sharing music that members suggest. If you're interested in joining us on the staff side (the people who choose the music to feature), send the group a note with some information and we will consider you. We will also be contacting a few people to join the group for the next year.

You must
:bulletblack: Be a member of deviantART for at least 6 months
:bulletblack: Have experience with sta.sh, articles, groups, etc. in the deviantART Community
:bulletblack: Have time to help for at least a couple hours every other week for 2013

Apply
Send #365DaysofMusic a note with the following information:
:bulletyellow: How active can you be in 2013?
:bulletyellow: What genres of music do you listen to?
:bulletyellow: Are you capable of making unbiased decisions and following a schedule?
:bulletyellow: Are you tolerant of others' musical taste?

Thank you for your time, we hope to make 2013 a year filled with music!

I'd love to consider joining but I've only been a member for three months, haha.
Will you be opening positions again later in 2013?
