DOINK! on DeviantArt
DOINK! now has a group on DeviantArt: DOINK-ffex!
It's brand new and just getting started, but we've already begun trying to gather up any DOINK! art that's been posted to DeviantArt. If you know of any art that should be on in our collections, feel free to drop a line in the comments, here or over at DA!
We hope the group will help spread the word about DOINK!, and we'll be updating it with news and fanworks.
Please do tell your artist friends about the DA group if you're so inclined, as we're always looking to have more participants - and if you have artist friends that aren't at DA, you can also point them right here! And speaking of spreading the word...
Advertising
As we hit the home stretch before sign-ups, we're definitely looking to get the word out about the exchange. This year we've tried to make it a little easier for you to tell your friends so you can convince them to create with us, because you know whatever they make will be awesome. We've whipped up some banners for you to use if you would like a quick and easy way to help us get the word out. More awesome people = more awesome fanwork = more awesome time!
Just copy the text under your chosen banner: it makes an image that links back to one of our communities. The LJ version of this post links to the LJ community, and the DW one to the DW community =D
Remember that regular sign-ups and beta volunteer sign-ups open on Monday, March 14th, 2011, 23:00 UTC. Click the link for the time in your area. :)
