why is homosexuality banned, just outta curiousity?
-
I will read a few of your poems, sure, but i was curious how many we could enter.
Patricia -
lol so many people long to get published! I would never stand a chance, well, hope you have lots of great entries!
-
Hmmm... I am almost 12, does that count? I would really like to enter this. I respect that you want a teen contest, but I was wondering how strict you were and if I could perhaps enter... Anyhew, best of luck with this, and may it be very successful.
-
I entered a poem and then realized that that poem is already published lol so i took it out
-
I have a question... Persay one gets published, what sort of rights are you asking for?
-
Yay!!
Thanks for this chance, this is AWESOME! Good Luck with the contest!! :-) -
Oh and a question? How will the winners know they have won?
-
Hmm interesting.
And because I must ask, though two before me have already, why no homosexuality? Is it a rule of the magazine, perhaps? And if that is the case, do you know why? I'm just curious. -
I know alot of parents who won't let there kids read things that have homosexuality in it. And it is a very big subject so it's better not to have it.
-
You'll get an IM from me.
-
One-time rights. So that way we will publish your work once.
-
No I'm not a homophobe! Like I said in my other comment, it's a big subject and not everyone is for it so we just won't have it in the mag.
-
Well then you can just send your stuff to us unless you want to win the contest then I'm sorry but I can't help you on that rules are rules.
-
Yea umm i see how you always like, comment on other peopels poems, but ive read them all and mine has to be in the top ten..most of these say the same exact things..only like 6 or 7 are actually good enough to be published. And what are you, do you work for the magazine. Is our work going to show up in that article with your name on it? Something dont sound right to me
-
I ain't having a go but y do you want our poems to be published. Where are they going to be published? Still its a nice thought though.
-
Um... I'm not sure I understand everything you're saying. First, yes I work for the magazine- my sister and I own it. Second, no we will not print your work with our names on it.
Alexia -
wow, sublime420, you sound stuck up, so how many rude comments have you left on peoples stuff so far? I know spanky metal was one of them.
