Stephany is an American artist and writer who has been a member of DA for 7 years. She is best known for her role as a dedicated literature CV, but she is so much more than that. Long before she signed on to be a volunteer, Stephany had been working hard to deliver the largest compilation of news from all around the lit community on a weekly basis. Her undying efforts have made her a shining example for her fellow writers around the globe!

On a personal note, Stephany is described by her friends as a warm, friendly and funny deviant who "gives the best hugs." It would be a challenge to find a person who gives more time, effort and love to the community than HugQueen!

  I Ship UsI can not measure our love
in words, but in how tight
we hug when we finally
see each other again. There
is starshine in your smile
and I could swear that you
are Aurora, wreathed in
beauty, but with less sleeping
and more ass-kicking.
You are kind and selfless,
a true paragon of love
and a goddess of all things
good. where most have blood,
you have eternal love.
all the light in the world
is simply not enough
to express the light
your friendship and
love bring to me.
Passion and excitement
exude from everything
that you do and you pour
your heart into; everything you
make, everything you touch.
When we first met, there wasn't
a doubt in my mind that I
had found one of my soulmates,
someone who could laugh
over puns and obsess over
pokemon, someone who wouldn't
judge me on anything I'd done.
A kind soul that is there
for all to see. One that has
been scarred and one I
wish to protect. Everything
you do becomes better
simply by your being there.
You are the reason I believe
in friends b  SnowdropsWinter is
whispering; the snow,
faltering.

Despite her young age and the fact that she has spent only one year on Deviant Art so far, it’s conspicuous how meiyue is determined to make this community a better place. She is incredibly kind, willing to help out friends and strangers alike, and is showing her appreciation to her followers in various ways. Annie has improved a lot during this short period, and is always willing to share her knowledge. She also takes the time to visit pages of other deviants, give out llamas, or leave constructive criticism whenever she has anything helpful to say, or whenever an honest opinion is needed. She also holds giveaways for her watchers, even though she’s saving up points for a premium membership. Annie is also an enthusiastic suggester of daily deviations. Last but not least, she found a special way to draw attention to underexposed artists. She has a custom box on her page, where she features unnoticed artists, which she updates once a week – the featuring offer is completely free. She is also a crew member of the group; ProjectPorkchop which also helps unpopular artists. I think her generosity toward other people can’t go unnoticed – she has befriended and brightened the spirits of many, and is always willing to spread a little love around.

It’s hardly possible to find anyone in the community of writers who’s unaware of the name BeccaJS. Becca has been a Deviant Art member since 2005. She tries to convey positivity, love, fun, but also deep and emotional messages in her wonderful writings. She has also done an incredible amount for the community. Using CRLiterature as a hub, she pushed to have a central place where all writers can go and find out what's going on around dA when it comes to Literature. She is a founder of writing-workshop, and runs quality shops there, helping out both new and experienced writers to better themselves and explore new genres and forms they have never tried before. She is also willing to help out newbies, or anyone who may have a question, and is also often found in different chat rooms. Becca is always eager to leave constructive criticism – she’s giving away critiques and holds an event during the Christmas season, called Critmas, where she encourages other artists to do the same. Deviant Art would never be the same without her – as told, "Becca is a name in the Literature Community that is synonymous with awesome

&nbsp; The Cat BossI know he lurks;
alert eyes behind the sofa
waiting, waiting.
Suddenly a paw torturing
these feet, yanking at
my socks
Crawling the pond edge
musing perhaps how cold
it might be, the creature
Pats delicate yet
Springs back in terror;
He won't be soaked today.
Stolen comfort, he
Places himself in prime
Spot- my chair
No longer
my chair. Only
the shake shake of biscuits
allow his ginger tail to bob
into the kitchen
expecting.
Begrudgingly, he plants
his purr-box up against
my side. The gentle scratch
behind his ear reminds
us both, he's always
in charge.  &nbsp; Walking with a ToddlerSlow he may be, plodding gentle his
tiny legs. Each stick is a new
exploration three steps to
another.
 “come on” you shout as he trots over
gravel laughing delighted at the crunch-crunch
beneath his feet
and there
and back again.
 A dog bounds by, so much energy that
it sparks fear in the little trekker as
he clings to your leg, begging to be lifted.
Arms wrapped around his world,
he points at the sky, tells you its blue.

Feli is an amazing friend with a wonderful sense of humor. She’s always ready to cheer people up and she achieves that beautifully!!! She’s dedicated to this community via group work and mentoring other deviants and leaving thoughtful comments on our pages. She features people all the time, she truly goes out of her way to make us all stand out!!!

Her uplifting comments and cheerful personality is something that makes those of us who have the pleasure to interact with her often, happy to call her our friend!!! It’s rare to see people who can connect with others the way Feli does, but she does it, she succeeds making her friends and watchers feel special!!!

I think not just this community, but the WHOLE world is a better place because of her existence!!! I love our Feli, and I nominate her because she has earned her wings through the love she spreads around on a daily basis!!!

As a side note, when I lost two of my core gangstas due to personal circumstances and I desperately needed help, she jumped in to help without even batting a lid. When it turned out that Eve would not return it was logical to make her a core gangsta, so this is kind of a double celebration.

WE LOVE YOU DEAR FELI!!!

The words charming, passionate and dedicated don't even begin to describe our next angel! Phyllis is one of the kindest and most supportive deviants around and is always helping others in any way she can. Her gallery is overflowing with positive energy and you can feel the joy in everything she shares! She's always there for a deviant that might be struggling and not sure where to go next and she supports those she watches by spreading their informative journals, contests, and projects through DevNews.



In addition to her main account, she also has a stock account where she offers high quality stock with lenient rules. Her efforts earned her the "Great Stockers with Fair Rules" award in 2014. Phyllis is also a highly respected member of the Senior community where she is an avid contributor! Just recently, she started a brand new interview series through DevNews to further give exposure to outstanding members of the community. If you add one new name to your watch list today, let it be WDWParksGal...you won't be disappointed!

Ricky is a beautiful soul and an incredible artist. He is a staunch supporter of literary community with his groups like LitRecognition and literatureroadtrip and is also a swing admistrator for DailyLitRecognition.

love lettersside a.
woman who gives far too much. (jenene)
beautiful soul, step away
for a moment and take it all in.
you love so much, 
you love so much,
you love so much,
you love with all of your being
that i often wonder 
if you've forgotten
how to do anything else.
woman who gives far too much,
i understand how the wear
and tearing apart of your love
can tear your cheeks
but you need not wear
the selfishness of others
as war paint to your
features of solace.
you are too beautiful
for the scars people
so callously disregard
as your burden,
because it is not.
but i know you love
until there is none left
and even then,
you will always find
trinkets of it 
in your back pocket,
so i am here to reiterate:
when your seemingly
endless waterfall of love
begins to run dry,
please know i can be the well 
where there is an infinite
supply for the woman
who gives too much;
the woman who loves
and lives as if it
she was put on this earth
to only do such,
i will always have   the greatest love ever experienced.side a.
woman with the sad smile. (simone)
i've seen this smile
for as long as i can remember.
it is a sad smile,
a beautiful wonder,
a tragedy that never quite ended,
and strength in the way
she never ended either.
i am but a stone
sitting atop your mountain
that has never budged,
even if there is a slightest
of cracks in her formation.
with the strength of a thousand men,
she fights for me.
for her. for him. for them.
and she does so without question,
she gives herself away
until there is none left for her,
but i hope that i can continue
to give more to you,
to show you that i too
will become a mountain
in your image.
at least a pillar of strength
for someone in the same way
you have been my mountain,
my strength
since the day i was born
and how literal do i mean that.
woman with the sad smile,
as long as you are smiling
and holding onto the hope
that is the cornerstone
of our family,
we will fight for you
as you fight for us.
and i will die for you.
live for you,
and strive
t  learning how to walk (steps and aptitude)first drafts are always hardest.
constantly a revolving door
of evolutions working
in progress to
find contentedness
but it is often contention
we find laced under wrinkles.
 
i see you with blurry vision
and twenty-twenty
glass view
for what i believe to be
a beautiful girl
just learning
how to walk again.
 
i say it with the utmost respect.
your introversion curls
like shadows in
closet skeletons
frames holding bones
and weight as it pushes
back within itself.
 
i hear you echo within
vocal cords and shaky sighs
holding yourself together
with weak arms and a soft mind
but i see the hardened areas
of your incorporeality.
 
steady and still
moving and waving
moods swinging
like pendulum cords
meshing contusion,
confusion.
soliloquy somber
and unwavering
as each barrier
ricochets
like elastic collisions.
 
obvious detriment
coats division
but i am here to say
that we all have two beings.
 
short-term is our true self
long-term is the aptitude test.

He takes the time to supports fellow deviant with features on his profile page, with HTML coding, in giving valuable critiques and wonderfully uplifting comment. He also runs many features in his journals, including a monthly interview series. His gallery encompasses alluring pieces of poetry that inspires us and touches our heart and soul! A wonderful and truly deserving AWW, he really is generous and considerate, also showing incredible compassion for people who are suffering emotionally. Thank you for the incredibly touching contribution that you make to all those who cross your path Ricky!

Denise has been a member of Deviantart for a year, yet she has made perhaps even more contribution to Deviantart than someone who has been here for ten times as much. It’s impossible to see that she has gone full force in every aspect of making DA a great community. She is there whenever there is a worthy cause to promote, or an artist to give support. She leads a group for digital artists and a senior contributor to another one, helping another people in her field to get some attention. But that’s not the only way she helps fellow artists to get more exposure. She’s the founder of The-Feature-Showcase and a moderator at GetDailyDeviations , both aiming to discover outstanding art. She also often suggests daily deviations, mostly in her own category – digital art -, but is helping photographers as well. She’s also moderator of a group which is specialized to bring underestimated artists to the spotlight, not to mention her astounding features and interviews with digital artists. Talking about community, Denise is a contributor to several reputable groups trying to promote positivity, holding communities together, helping newbies to start their own way, and is a supervisor at of dAWishingWell and helps to grant wishes of really many deviants. And last, but not least, she’s been a gangsta of love for a really long time – and after so many acts of kindness, good deeds, devotion and love given to every single deviant she knows, she really deserves to earn her wings!
