Stock Photo Phun – October 20

By ~ Oct 20, 2010

This has been one of our ideas for a while, so we’ll see how it goes.

Your Caption Here

What you see at the left there is a picture uploaded by you, our loyal DSSers, into the Stock Photo Phun section on the forum.

We’ve selected this image and now it’s up to YOU to tell us what it means.

How do we do that? Why, with a CAPTION CONTEST, of course.

We’ve added a handy little vote button to the comments.

So, in your comment, leave a witty caption for the photo you see here.

Demand Studios Stock Pic o’ The Day

How to Be Scary

Ooohhh. Now that IS scary.

Oh god, now I sound like one of those people who post on the Demand Writers Forum.

One of us! One of us!

Just wanted to touch on a comment left by one of the readers, Chicklett.

She was commenting on an earlier post where I asked what the hell was up [...]

WTF With Demand Photos?

By ~ May 29, 2010

One of the recent changes to Demand was the addition of some online stock photos.

Now, as much as I like to bitch about Demand, I think this was a great thing. It really saves a lot of time and makes it easier for writer.

The problem is – once again – with their cataloging system. It’s the same exact problem I was talking about with their f**ked up title category system.

Now, I worked in a library for a while. Some of my best friends are librarians, so maybe I’m a little anal about this.

But couldn’t Demand at least take the time to get this shit straightened out? [...]
