* A Word from Sophie *

Hello Fractal Family!

Firstly, I want to share with you that our "2008 FRACTAL SUMMIT"
was a great success! ~ We discussed many topics of interest that
are on all of your minds, formulated plans for the near future, did
some critiques and wrote the 'ABC's of Fractals' together, for our
PROJECT EDUCATE: FRACTAL WEEK ~ Coming August 4th-10th!
We will be bringing you a comprehensive summary article on the
summit, so look for it soon! ~

SUMMIT LOG available; note me with your e-mail addy!

And join us for "Fractal Critique Night"
this coming Friday, July 18th in #FantasticallyFractal
from 8pm-10pm EST. ~ Hope to see you all there!

*Please send me your DAILY DEVIATION suggestions!

(*Daily Deviations are special site-wide features, not awards.)

To Suggest a Fractal DD

Choose a fractal from the Digital Art > Fractal Art gallery

Send me a note entitled DD Suggestion for: (Recipient's Name)

Put the link or thumbnail code of the piece you want to suggest in the note!

Why does it deserve a DD? Write a description! I want to know what you think.

The amount of favs/watchers a deviation/deviant has is irrelevant.

You may now suggest yourself.

If the work you suggest doesn't get featured, don't fret!

Just send me more choices ~ The more suggestions, the better.

PLEASE ... At least, BE COURTEOUS!

If you have a problem with one of the deviations I choose as a DD, please be
considerate and DO NOT leave negative comments on the featured piece, or send
messages to the artist about it. These features are meant to encourage the artist!
A Daily Deviation is a positive experience for them, so please don't steal their joy.
You are, however, free to note me about it! ~ Thank you, sincerely! ^Sophquest
