I've actually decided against adding on to this story; I've tried to revamp and revamp the prose, and frankly, I can't find a smooth way to add what I want to.

However, I will (within the next few days) post my final updates to the story, and hopefully, that will be that.

I've finished my piece. Now what?
Submit it to Community Projects > Projects & Clubs > Photolit Inspiration.

Once you've done that, send a note to me with a link to the deviation so that I can put it in my "PhotoLit Entries!" journal.

When does the prompt end?
This is still tentative, but I believe we'll have it run until the ninth of October.

How are we supposed to create a photo (or piece of literature) from a piece of literature (or photo)?
I don't have any instructions on how to get inspired specifically, but I will tell you that you should definitely try keeping an open mind and letting the feeling come to you.

I'm an amateur writer (or photographer). Can I still participate?
Absolutely! We encourage everyone to participate in the prompt. Tell all your friends

While looking through the gallery, I found several pieces that inspired me. How many pieces am I allowed to upload?
You can upload as many pieces as you'd like. If one piece inspires several of your own, feel free to upload all of them.

I write and take photos. Can I upload both literature and photography?
Absolutely!

While reading, I was inspired to write. (Or, I was inspired by a photo to take another photo). Can I still upload it to the Photolit Inspiration category?
While, that's not the point of the prompt, per se, I support inspiration of all kinds. So, as long as you credit the deviant as specified in the Guidelines, that's just fine.

Does my photo need to represent characters or the plot of the literature specifically?
Not necessarily. Inspiration can come from any point in the story, and I wouldn't dream of limiting its scope in any way.

Do we have the right to represent the characters of a piece of literature?
Yes. The authors of the literature have agreed to participate in this prompt, and if any problems happen to occur, I will accept full responsibility.

There are a bunch of deviations already in the Photolit Inspiration category? Are they participating in the contest?
No. I don't know why they're there, and hopefully, we can get them removed.

I love the idea of this prompt and want to sumbit a piece to inspire others. Can I still do that?
You can. Just send me a note with a link to the deviation, and I'll be happy to put it up.

If you have ANY other questions, send them to me in a note, and I'll respond as promptly* as possible.

Your thoughts: "Sharpened Tooth? That sounds just vague enough to click on!"

Word Prompt
Well, the number of pieces for this first critique has been quite small, but I think I know the reasons why and have an elaborate plan for making the next prompt shine.

If you have any cool ideas for what the next prompt should be, leave me a note with "PROMPT IDEA" in the subject box.

In the meantime, check out the two pieces that were submitted. They'll be here until the 19th.
