And have you NOTICED all of the MISCATS lately??

There is a very good reason why all of the miscats have been left alone recently.
There are some important changes taking place concerning them, in all the galleries,
including ours!... Data is being collected by deviantART, to better understand how
and why so many miscategorizations are made. For more information concerning
this, please take a few minutes to read about it in this Newsletter!

Also, where are all the DAILY DEVIATIONS??

wrote the following in her journal about it.

"Unfortunately, the tool to select Daily Deviations has been broken for
a couple of days and as a result, you're seeing less and less. Devious
Technology is frantically working to save the day and when it's fixed,
we will be back in business Thank you for your patience."
