Hello DA Songwriters, I'm =BlackPeregrin, the photography account of ~PublicAffairs.

What's Your Idea?

Just about every great artist releases a Greatest Hits or Best Of collection sometime in their career: The Beatles, Earth Wind & Fire, Queen, Elvis Presley, The Eagles, Bob Dylan, the list goes on.

How about DeviantArt, as a community, releases our Greatest Hits?

If we got all our poets and writers to take the lyrics to a song they've written, and submit it to one big collection, then we'd have one hell of an album.

Think about it: Take all the active writers on DA- which is a lot, trust me- and each of them submits their very best song, then we have on our hands a collection of some of the great literary works on DA.

Do you want to be part of that experience?

Yeah! What do I do?

Submit the link/thumb to your best or favorite song on DA (that you've written, of course), in a Note to myself (=BlackPeregrin) or my other self (~PublicAffairs) by June 6, 2009.

You have about five weeks to send in your works, so there's no excuse for you not to.

I'd very much appreciate it if you advertised this in your journals, on your profile page, wherever.
This will be legen... wait for it... dary! Tell your friends.

But wait, there's more

I'm also considering awarding a "Title Track" honor to the best song in the collection, just as encouragement and for fun.
This will be voted on by myself and a few selected others.

If you're interested in being a judge, or even better, submitting a prize for this, Note me or ~PublicAffairs.


Don't let me down, DeviantArt. This can, and will be awesome. But it won't happen if you don't participate.
