)In total, 68% of the applicants DID NOT help with last year's dASAW, while 32% did!If you are not selected, that does not mean you are excluded. There is limited space (10 spots) for volunteers, and unfortunately the decision is difficult when you need to cut 15 people. You will still be able to participate even if you are not a volunteer, and we might even ask you for your input or for some help later in the process! ;D 
I will feature underexposed artists that I've happened to find using the Discovery page here on dA! If you would like an overview of how to use this page, feel free to see this brief guide!

As part deviantART Staff Appreciation Week, `SanguineEpitaph and #StaffAppreciation team have come up with a fun project for deviants.
As a way of thanking my supportive watchers, I will be featuring artwork which they have chosen: one piece of their own, and one piece they love. Enjoy. 
Memories: Music saves me She walks down the halls, hearing them. Hearing them call her these evil, rude things. "Fat. Ugly. Stupid. Weird. Emo. Liar." They can't see the scars, because they aren't there. They're in her mind, they've corrupted her mind. The thing is- That girl? She was me, and probably still is. But something has changed. That made me stronger, gave me more confidence. My name is Miriam: And this is my story.
I know this topic is ignored, or when presented, done so in a way not as… surreal. But this is a personal, and memorable, experience. All through my school life, well, up until this point, I was teased. Taunted. Bul
Phoenix wingsI've been through the fire, so where are my wings? I've fallen apart, waded in my own ashes, where's the life I hoped for? Everything in vain, a silent plea for flight away from the lightless despair, and nothing but a soft breeze passing me by... a breeze that I'll never rise above. If a myth can do it, why can't I? I'll become a bird of beautiful fire and glide off, striking out on the wind, and if hope holds out and luck holds up
I'll never
be back.

A cobbled ochre footpath led in curving spirals across the road and into the northern entrance of Star Mall. Waiting for the cross signal, Asha glanced warily up and down the street. There were neither cop cars nor Agency vehicles on the road, and no visible Blue Suit Agents on the footpaths either. It looked like just another normal autumn day in Araam. The traffic light buzzed above her and she stepped off the curb, crossing through the paved spirals to the mall entrance.
Absently, she touched the b
Why now?"Answer my pleas
'Why now?'
I begged to differ but alas nothing
Nothing to change their minds
Pulling me away; I struggle to stay put
This sad battle was lost
Staring behind me now as the things I held dear were gone
Torn apart of myself but yet--
I wasn't able to cry
Tears seemingly pour down my cheeks
Although I was not paying any attention
As more thoughts streamed through my mind
'Why now?'
I begged to differ but alas nothing
Nothing to change their minds
I suddenly fall, fall into an abyss
Waking to only find out that it was
Another realm I was soon to be in
Shifting to face in a different direction
What was to become
So much wonderful works!
