Contest~ [applicable entries]
A member requested a certain type of contest over the PM. I informed Kyosuke and he gladly complied to the idea~
This contest is mainly for Poetry/lyrics. I'm hesitant into thinking if putting the two in one category is a good idea, since the difference between them is relatively minor. I'm also unsure whether or not this should be a short story contest. If anyone has comments/concerns/questions, feel free to post away. This thread is for people who wish to participate. Please do not post your finished work here. I merely want to clarify how many participants are willing to submit something. I don't want to host a contest between a measly two~three contestants...if that somehow does happen, I'm going to be postponing this. The general idea is a bit vague so far; I'll try to add more information later on. Meanwhile, feel free to sign up. The deadline -> somewhere at the end of March/Beginning of April. This includes the time you need to work on your piece. By that time, this thread will prolly either be closed/forgotten. XP I still need time to pick the judges, which will supposedly include myself and Kyosuke (if he agrees). If you wish to be a judge, please send me a link to one of your works and a sufficient reason. ...I'll type of rules later~ ^_^; So posts should either be: -comments -clarification -requests edit- Participants so far code_zerro_the_deluge ~Ozy~ Lady Akita Sparky07 Akinari (ty onii-chan~) <3 Eliana Tomasu-san Jedi_Amara blackhaert eventidemjj Rolling Pichu edit2- Rules One piece per contestant. No multiple works, please. Please respect each other's work when posted in due time. Your work must be submitted the Second of April. Note that this is not the official date; it may be changed due to some circumstances, but for now, I think roughly one month is sufficient. Don't spam up any thread I create (posts shall be deleted). Post only relevant things. Don't yell at me (the judges in general). If you have any concerns regarding the given results or the situation, state so reasonably. Incoherent babbling isn't loved, btw, XP Post your own work. Plagiarism is NOT tolerated on any level (plus you'll be disqualified, which really sucks~) The rules will be edited if I need changes (which will prolly happen sometimes soon). *sigh* One cookie per person. Don't ask. ._. edit3- official contest of Poetry/Lyric. Now I need to gather some judges. ~~ *advertises on sig* Judges- Me. 22sa. Dactylus. Paul. Judge applications = closed. |
i am joining the contest. I maid my poem already.
|
Sign me up, it's that simple. Bah!
|
I'm gonna sign up. I prefer poetry, however. Stories take time. And time I haven't got.
|
This looks interesting. It would be fun if it were a poetry/short story contest, but of course, that's only my opinion...the more options, the more people you might have who are interested. I'll definitely keep checking on this...
<3 Sparky07 |
Well, since Lily kept requesting, I'll join...>>
|
Allright, add me. Arty told me to submit a poem o_o
|
/me is the lyrics master. I will join. *rushes off to allpoetry.com to find the best song*
|
This is really great, seven people and all~ Still debating whether or not it should be poetry/short story contest.
... I *really* *really* *really* need Judges. >_____> If you have any experience prior to poetry/lyrics and such (and I mean a good experience), your help would be much appreciated, but I'm not asking any of you to drop out. Just for people who decide to gaze upon this thread after this post~ ;-; |
I want to sign up, please~ :D
|
Quote:
Please be poetry. I can't write short stories, and I think most people here would prefer poetry. I bet people will drop out if it's short stories, including me. |
Lol. Now that I think about it, most people *are* here for the poetry/lyric part...k then, it's official. Poetry/Lyric contest. ^_^
I still need judges. *just lost one* |
Gah...XD *is itching to post her poem*
How many judges do you want? |
Quote:
|
I need about three at minimum, including myself. Four would be nice. Five will prolly result in too many disagreements, although I'm not quite sure.
22sa- Um..let's see...Arigatou, 22sa-chan? XD Lyrics are similar to poetry, except it's based off of songs and such. I'll explain later. Thanks. |

This is the truth. And sure Lily, I'll judge since you took the time to ask. Haha...liking poetry more than prose...who ever heard of such poppycock? Hahaha... |
Dac, be nice.
Thank you again for accepting the position. I really appreciate it~ Now I don't need any more judges. I don't know how long I should keep accepting contestants...eh, perhaps I won't set a limit. Besides, by April 2, it'll be too late to enter anyhow. Again, thanks to everyone who signed up. ^_^ |

Never in my life have I heard such obnoxiousness from any fellow writer, ever. There is a wonderful word that exists in this world, whether it be concerning politics, religion, philosophy, or literature. OPINIONS. See, everyone has one. I do hope you comprehend the existence of this word one day soon. I've been writing since I was about 8, and I do not appreciate your comments. Kthx. Sorry Lily, I'm standing up for my repetoire, hope you understand. =/ |
Well that was gay Dac. Foreal man stay on the topic let's not be ***s like that guy.
No offense though but chill. Sticking up for a friend. |
Oh shiznits! Dac's gonna be a judge! Score! XD
|
I guess I'll enter. My work sucks, but Eli says I stand a chance. So I might as well go and try something. I've got a month to write my masterpiece anyway. Why not. Poetry contest, here I come. Sign meh up~
*still knows I'm gonna lose this* I probably write poetry even worse than I sing. Heh. |
*nod* I've got mine written out already. I didn't know about the contest 'til yesterday, but I'm definitely using this one. I worked on it literally for 3 weeks, and had nightmares about it. O_O It's apparently one of the best things people have read according to some.
|
I would be a judge.. but currently with the way everything is working right now with school and stuff going on with my life.. I barely have time to go on PC nowadays.. which explains my inactiveness... but Lily, I still wish you the best of luck with the success of this contest. ^^'
|
I would love to be a judge, but considering the fact that you said you didn't need any additional judges pushes that hope away... *Decides to unleash his inner Simon Cowell on his own writing...* If any positions appear, tell me please!
Anyway, I didn't realize that I had quite such of a talent for writing until just recently, maybe two years ago. Simply because of my writings, many people refer to me as the "Hopeless Romantic," and a "Forward Philosopher." I got the philosopher quote for this (I put in a card for my Dad I made): "Though our view may become clouded with the shadows of the sky, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel to halt our fears, and to fulfill our dreams." I have dozens and dozens of papers of things I've written, particularly music lyrics (my Dad is a singer, and I sing also (but I'm not famous yet!)), and I would like to enter this contest. Is there any prize, or is it just bragging rights? |
You really could've just asked me to judge Lily. I'd have been happy too.
Well, since you've got judges now, I'd love to enter. As and extra comment, I'd like short stories allowed. |

So...wait a second...I just read the first post, and I'm a bit confused...is this a poetry/lyrics only contest? Are you still deciding whether or not to make it a short story/poetry/lyrics contest? Or is it a short story/poetry/lyrics contest? It's just a bit fuzzy...sorry if you posted it somewhere and I missed it.

I should've specified it sooner; sorry. ^^;
Paul, if you want, there can be four judges...do you have (a very good) prior experience with poetry? |
Quote:
Just so happens I got accepted into the Bemidji State University's anthology for teen poetry in Minnesota. And I've gotten in some ok vanity anthologies, but they're really nothing to be proud of =X If you're willing to accept me, I'd love to judge ;P |
I'd be happy to have you as a judge. You're probably 834627846% better than me. ^_^; Thank you!
Thus concludes the long, grueling hours of begging people to be judges...x.x edit- eventidemjj, I'm so sorry! I didn't see your question at the end. I truly am sorry. x_x And yes, it's mostly bragging rights~ Unless someone can think of a good prize *over the internet >=D*..or would you rather have me mail money instead? XD |

I apologize so much for trying to say what I thought before, obviously it’s not condoned by your mighty, supreme wisdom over these matters. You have been writing since you were EIGHT after all. I'll try never to be so irreverent toward you again. I mean, God forbid I should use sarcasm, right? How cruel it would have been if everything I said in my previous post was nothing but a playful jab! Dear me, but that would be unthinkable! I’m so very, very sorry for my ignorance. Please, next time you disagree with my opinion, feel free to once again mock me while jabbering on about the importance of point of views again. I’ll make sure to, again, succumb without any resistance at all. =\ Dude, Akinari, do I know you? Well, if you're cool with me being here, that serves me just fine. Greetings and well met, haha. Edit: Ah, it's Niko. Dude, we're judging. Score. |

So please, let's all keep our opinions to ourselves, this is simply a thread to announce your entrance into this writing contest ;< |
yea what he said home boy so just chill and take a deep breath.
|
Could you sign me up please? I'd like to break my head in this one... =D
|
Ok, you're in ;D Lily will edit the first post **nudges**.
CZtD, that was pretty much spam, and I have no idea what you're talking about o.o |
Umm the fight maybe.... That is what I was talking about.
|
Allright, I'm just going to ignore jerk, and move on with life...
This poetry contest is supposed to be fun, not full of crap...x_x; So when shall we get started? ^^ |
I think I'm going to stop sign ups now; 11 people are enough. @[email protected]
And edited. I'll post the thread somewhere around March. ^^ |
...you realize today is March 1st, don't you? XD
|
XD
I'm pretty eager for this, actually. I've never actually submitted anything to a contest before...I've subitted things seldomly, but I've one it like like twice... |
XD Yes, I know it's March, but..um..
K, to specify, somewhere...in the middle of March. o_o |
Sounds good then~ I have issues with planning things extensively <<"
|
I've actrually won a silver and bronze medal at allpoetry.com but that was just informal contests...acutally kinda like this one XD so maybe I do stand a chance.
So I hope we wait just a little to make an official submission thread, I need to get working on my own submission. ^^ This should be fun. |
Is maybe the 15th good? Just a suggestion. I can't wait though it should be fun.
|
Oh, oh!! I'll join the contest!! Is it to late to join already?? Cause I'd like to join, please??

Lust~ A bit late, but sorry- I specifically said (or rather implied) no more people, as it'd be an unfair privilege. ;_; Perhaps next time.
On a happier note, the thread is posted. *poke* |
Annnd posted. I wrote it during writer's block, so yeah.
|
One question, little one. What is an "applicable entry"? This doesn't seem to make sense. :<
|
Quote:
|
o_o My, my. Look at all those entries. A whole two of them.
Wow. *looks at the date* March 26th. Wow, you're all vigilant to post aren't you? *shakes head in dismay* |
I believe we should send out PMs to signed up members that haven't posted any poetry yet.
|
I have already PMed everyone, don't worry. XD They're probably waiting until the last minute.
|
Ok XD
You're a good planner ;3 |
*nods*
Just getting a bit concerned and such. |
stfu I was talking to Lily. >P
But just kidding about stfu. I apologize. It's good that you're concerned. |
Quote:
O_O I want competition. |

Arty: Dude, I am so not getting 1st place, what the heck are you on about? XDD *reads your poem* That thing totally pwns. |
I'm posting my entry on the last day. In a contest like this, I want to make sure I have my best work represented. My computer is currently on the fritz, so I'll have to work by hand on it. I normally type them up first. So...yeah, you'll definitely see mine soon.
|
Eli... I think we are both being excessively modest. XD As the writer, I never brag about my writings, and I still think your poem rocks. :D
I have no idea how good will your poem be, John... I don't recall reading any of your poems... Sure you'll do pretty good, though. I know you o.o |
Okay, let's stop with the modesty contest. You're all awesome poets. End of story.
<3 Hope more people post soon~ It's great that the Roy Mustang fan Rolling Pichu submitted something. ^__^ |
XDD
Sorry >_> John is a God. That's all I can say. I've seen bits of poetry of his...dear God...O_O |
I didn't mean it like that.. Comparing oneself to others when one is prematurely talented and vividly skilled saddens me, although I'm fully aware I'm subjecting myself to either hypocrisy or a vague outlook on modesty. n_n;
I'm rather curious to see all poems~ Oh, I lost track of time already... |
this should be very fun. indeed.
|
Quote:
And yeah, we should shut up. I'm specially looking forward to Niko's and John's poems... I know that both are awesome at poetry. I'm hungry of entries but there's only suspense on the menu... >>; |
yes well you people may think that but I am not giving up on mine. Short yes but message works to fullest. Speak negative negative will happen. Nice poem you to.
|

|
it's okkkk. well who else needs to post?
|
Quote:
What the heck, El? XD You've seen like one stanza of one poem...I haven't even ever sent you the big pile of scrap poems I have. Some of those were better than that... I'm a poetry god? Puh-lease. Sure, I know I've got a lick of talent, but...yikes. I'm no Mr. High and Mighty, by no means. I have next to no experience, so...yeah. I've been writing stuff off and on now for a few months, but nothing good has ever resulted from it. I just don't feel good about my own work. I don't think it's good at all. XD I'll write this week, and tonight for sure. I'll just have to give you the best of all the crap I've written I guess. o.o |
well what just happened. you are to a good poet.
|
...
Deadline... Now. XD *looks at list* Mmm, still some people have not yet submitted. D: *walks away sulking* |
I spoke with JA yesterday, and I agreed to extend it into night, eastern time.
I'm going to be depressed if no one else submits. ._. meh. |
*Nod nod* Same [email protected][email protected] I wish these would actually work out...
|
I'm goning to submit mine today, definitely. I've gotta work on another thing first, but I'm going to finish it out today. I'm really pleased the way it's progressed so far, so that says a lot. It's just gonna be a bit long. It's divided into parts...it's a narrative poem, so yeah. I think it may be to people's liking. Especially Eli. XD
For the people who have wanted to read this for a while, I think it'll be worth the wait. |
Hmm. Any clue on when the results will be posted? Sorry for double-posting but this thread hasn't really moved anyway. Anyone know when the winners will be announced? Sorry. I'm just kinda anxious to see how the best poem I've ever done has stacked up. o.o
|
As soon as:
-all the judges agree on a type of format/method -22sa's ban is lifted (since he's banned, obviously we can't do the above..) I apologize for the extended wait, and thank you for your patience so far. .__.; |
Yeah, 22sa's ban kinda screwed things up.
But it's not his fault ;x [It's his fault!] |
umm...are you still accepting contestants? can i join still? if you guys are still accepting...
|
I never got round to writing. ;_;
I hate assignments. They eat your time ._______. |

And... Quote:

Quote:
I read all the entries and am read to judge, so ready when you guys are, Paul, Lily, Dact :P |
aw...man...darn it...i wuz too late...thanks for the info anyways blackhaert.
|
Well let's get on with the show. When will the judges be done? just curious.
|
There are no specific dates, so please stop asking for one. .-.;
|
I just wanted to see if there was one gosh.
|
Quote:
Who's the judge here, you or me? Hmm? There is no need to use an exasperated tone with me, because I'm exasperated as it is, so stop, k? ^_^ |
does it sound like it. does it really. ok shut your mouth. now calm your self down ok good. take your time mental is a efect.
|
Quote:
Anyway, take your time, Lily. I'd love to hear the results soon, but I want it to count, so...you guys do whatever you gotta do to get this contest fixed and straightened out. =P |
I just wanted to know if their was a freaking date set out yet. That is all. But no screw me. One question turned bad by the Lady Godess of the site. Ohh and I was being patient. I just haven't been on in a while and wanted to know if anything changed.
|
Can we please try to rationalize? I hosted this contest by the sole request of you (yes, that's right, you), and I don't think it's fair to digress and berate me like so when I'm trying my best to be a satisfactory hostess. ._.
Look- Quote:

Quote:
Now please, let's all be nice. I'm too tired to deal with your last post. ._. Btw, thank you, blackhaert. |
it is ok. I am sorry to Lily.
|
Lily, if you're already so frustrated, maybe you should close the thread or something and give away some warnings for ... I dunno...flaming? *cough*
But yeah... I'm expecting the results, too... but you needn't be showing your impatience to a thread like this. Besides, that one certain Valentine's Day poetry contest last year lasted for about 3 months... (you remember that one, Lily? 8D) |
I am being patient. What part don't you get? I just asked if anything changed because I wasn't here.
|
How could I not, Onii-chan? Either way, I don't think that would warrant a flaming. .-.
Okay, let's drop the subject now~ ^_^ |
