Pick Apart My Stuff - Top five place and pay

1st.  300
2nd.  150
3rd.  100
4th.   75
5th    50

I write mostly songs.  Pick one that you think you will like and let me have it!  Tell me what you really think!  I want to know what you think it needs.  I am not making money on them.  Include title with entry and I will look for comments.  Try to avoid one that has already been done for this contest.

Next, give me your best poem or song.  You should only have one best.  I will choose the entries I feel are best, but I am going to tear into them and try to find fault.  I don't care about topic or language, but keep in mind, garbage is offensive.  I only eat out of the trash occasionally, although I may sleep in it more often, hehe.

I really want your best work, so I can see if I can find ways to improve it.  Especially if it is not making money.  Same boat, you and I.

Andy

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on February 2, 2005
  • Rewards: Gold: 300
  • Final notes:
    When judging, it was easy to see that I had lots of talented writers, but it was hard to see a clear first place. After reviewing several times, it went to Mythtress. 4th place was "A Thousand Times" by Pixie8409, 5th place was "Hotch Potch" by shimmerysoup, and an honorable mention to Apache 143 for "Down And Out" Thanks for participating.

    not sure if we where suppose to submit a song , poem, or story. i will assume (yes i know never very smart) that any type of write is acceptable. I will find a song to critic soon.

    I'm seeing $$$$

    Okay: Sounds like there should be two entries.

    $$$ First is a collaboration of sorts to enhance something you have already written so it will sell.

    * * Second is our best write so you can give pointers of your own.

    Hopefully, the combination equals $$$$ for us all.

    I want you to pick one of my songs and tell me all you think is wrong with it. Things I should fix. I will do the same with your entry, song or poem.

    Thanks But no thanks.. Tucks tiny tail and runs. Besides as the saying goes, Isn't one mans trash another man's treasure? Though your songs are nice I will say that.. I just am not up to have my one heart and soul song crucified.. Take Care, Catressa

    The idea was not to crucify, but to improve, if possible. Constuctive criticism, but something real. There were two I had nothing to suggest and most needed little change in my opinion.
