V.THOU SHALT WRITE THY MEMOIR
The fifth commandment of deviousness is to write your memoir, but what's deviousness without being devious? This is one of several contests being held by the Community Relations team, and this one's for the lit folk, held by GaioumonBatou.
Theme:
With deviantART's 10th birthday in mind, the trick to this contest is to write your life, using ten specific birthdays to show the passage of time.
Prizes:
This is a contest, of course, so here's what's up for grabs!
1st place - 1 year Premium Membership
2nd place - 6 month Premium Membership
3rd place - 3 month Premium membership
Rules:
This is a literature contest, so only writing will be accepted! There are plenty of other birthday contests, one of them is sure to match your medium!
All entries must be submitted to the contest gallery (Contests > 2010 > 10 Commandments of Deviousness > Write Memoirs) starting August 1st, and before August 15th, 11:59 PM PST.
All entries must be created for this contest! Previously created works will not be accepted.
You can enter as many times as you like, but you can only win once!
You can write fiction or non-fiction, at your own discretion. Poetry will not be accepted for this contest.
All entries must be less than 3000 words.
As stated in the theme, 10 different birthdays must be incorporated into the story. How long or short each birthday segment is is entirely up to you.

Now that lit week is over, I just wanted to let you all know that Monday is my last day as a GM. I'll be posting a longer journal about it later, but I just wanted you all to know the real reason why I've not been accepting DD suggestions is because I won't be featuring any more. :]

I'd never really talked with David much myself, but he had a large impact on a lot of people I know, and from what I can tell he was always very well-liked around here. Erica was one of the first people to greet me to the chat system, when I first

You've got the power
to be doing better things than sitting around complaining about a feature on an art website, like helping the people in Brisbane, or helping a man go to school so he can make a living, or helping a friend get through a rough situation, or even just spreading the word about people in Brazil who are in need of help.
