Happy 200th Birthday Pride and Prejudice!Oh joy Austenites! Today is the 200th anniversary of the publishing of "Pride and Prejudice"

What a joy this book has brought to my life. Not to mention the films, tv shows, "sequels" (good/bad), mugs, board games, dances/balls, etc. that have been inspired by this story. I love to think how bemused Jane would be by the success of her stories, and how much we embrace them. I could gush and gush and gush about this all day but instead here are some of the deviations I enjoy around the site dedicated to this beloved novel:

If you know of any other amazing works based on Jane Austen's works or the Regency in general please share!
I thought about wearing my Regency costume to work today in celebration but thought that might be a bit much.

Upcoming film contests, articles and art history!Firstly I would like to say happy 2013 to everyone! Also thank you very much to everyone who has been sending me Daily Deviation suggestions!
Now there are a number of things coming up in the film and animation community, so firstly let me start off with the #ArtHistoryProject.
February is our Film and Animation month!
So I'm scratching my head as to how to write an introduction at the moment! But if you fancy writing an article about a certain style, artist or would like to hold some sort of event please get in touch with me! If you are interested please post at ^DistortedSmile's signup journal here!

Make a short film, win cool stuff!#fella is hosting a film contest for the month of January and you're all invited to enter, whether you're an experienced film maker or have never tried film before but would like to have a go. ANY genre of artistic film is welcome!

Here's the info...
#fella would like to invite you to be a part of a new contest, one that looks at a medium that is often overlooked on deviantART, Film.
Since before the 1900s film has been a part of people's lives. Today, feature films are created with huge budgets in mass of $200 Million+. But, often times short films, which do not get seen as much in the United States (but are more readily available in some other countries) are some of the most impressive films.
We would like to invite you to make a short film. All the details are below, so get on it!
