About Love dA Lit

Love dA Lit aims to promote volunteer opportunities, various resources, prompts, challenges, and workshops, as well as highlighting various contests, and spotlighting a specific group every week. This is by no means a complete list of all the literature going-ons, merely a tool to help you get involved and stay informed.


Love dA Lit is published every Sunday, by HugQueen via news article, and the Community Portal will be updated in accompaniment with it!
