So DA has a fairly extensive News network where you can submit your own articles and people can read them. When I check them, I mostly read the thumbshares and recommendations of artwork. I also have been fortunate enough to have been featured through this system a few times!
I wanted to know if you guys write and submit articles? Read them? I think that this is a very useful tool which is underrated and overlooked by many on this site. I'm just curious as to what people think of this feature!

For example, if you had a gene that could prevent a certain disease and people wanted to use that gene to help millions of people, would it be your right to say no just because it's your DNA? And of course I also address a lot of peoples concerns about genetic engineering (as an engineer, I am PRO genetic engineering haha!) basically explaining that only the privileged and rich could afford to augment their genes having a minimal effect on the quality or diversity of genetic materials of the human race...
Hmm maybe that made it sound boring. It's more about some of these augmented people and their fights and relationships and how they are both revered and austercized and how the social climate can change. It also has a significance of politics... like how the legalization of Cocaine (in the story!) shifts a lot of rich, wealthy, dangerous people in the drug industry from drug trafficing to PEOPLE trafficing as DNA becomes our most valuable resource; specifically, that pertaining to the immune system (which has always been the driving force of evolution) phew!
But I read them because they're useful. (features, tips, advices, contest lists...) However, they aren't as easy to find as deviations. ;A;
I guess people like me never really thought of how great a tool it is. I should check it more often.
