i am well-aware
of my boorish tongue.
but your stealth
of my silohuette
leaves my lips
sewn closed.
this bad fashion,
with threads
in fantastical disarray;
leaves euphoria dancing

scattering as soon
as they're touched.
infinite nostalgia
halos your hairs
like palilalia
and i wonder
if this time,
if i am allowed
to hold you,
in his stead.
THE ART THIEF MANUAL
During my career as the Perverted Art Thief Hunter I have encountered various plagiarists. I dont consider myself to be an uber N00B killer (Hell, it takes more than just one person to get the scum banned! So, teamwork, teamwork, teamwork!), but Im no newbie. And Id like to share my experience with you.

I am a flawed being, so it is entirely possible that I have made a mistake with any one group's listing; if you notice tha

EDIT, JANUARY 2020: Guys, this article was written ten years ago. I'm leaving this guide up, in case it still contains anything helpful, but I have not kept track of the changes to the Groups system and can make no guarantees for accuracy/up-to-dateness. If you have a question about why you can't find a particular button or setting mentioned in the article, I don't have an answer for you---the thing you're looking for may simply not exist anymore.

Welcome to DeviantArt! Let me know if you need any help.
Putting your art in "groups" is the best way to get it noticed. Just go to the top, go to "More", then click "Groups" and you'll be able to search for a group. There are lots of groups for all different kinds of art, and you can submit to multiple groups. Most require that you join the group first before you can add your art, so make sure it's a group you like.
