no prewrites...dangit... I thought inspirational was always fresh to the eyes, no matter when written. Shucks, and I've got two perfect ones for you... maybe next time around. Unless I come up with another, good luck with your contest and everyone that enters. Gary
-
wow you have a lot of entries already! have fun judging x x
-
To be rele cheeky you could like re add one's that are perfect if you were that desperate to enter i mean.. i didnt say that
-
hay hanny! woah u you have loads of enteries!!!
(damn just read that lucy already said that! grr o well) -
all contests should allow prewrites becuase we may have a poem that meats the requirments and is awsome and we would not be about to make another poem like it...and if i had know that prewrites were not allowed like every time themni would not put one poem on this site until the contest was open
-
that is your decision but this is MY contest and i will have it however i like! if you don't like it, you go and start a contest that IS allowed prewrites. If you don't like how I've done things then don't go moaning to me because it's not my problem. This is my contest, I've spent points on it - not you! So why don't you go find someone else to bother who hasn't allowed pre writes because you are being sour. Sorry but get over it. Best wishes
-
i'm gonna have to agree with hannah, not having pre-writes does mean that it is kinda fresh poetry
-
yeah paint this town red is rite cos this is her contest n she does get 2 do it how she like... i know iy's a pian that most contest dont allow pre-writes bt hey thats life n we jus tave 2 get ova it ... basically if u want to ave a contest where pre-writes r allowed then ask a friend ,or do i ur self,2 set up a contest....

Gahhhh!
The whole thing about people complaining about not being able to submit their pre-written poetry is rediculous. I'm sure we've all seen a contest where we think 'hey, I have a great poem for that' only to follow the link and see that it is a prewrite-only contest, and it's a bummer, but to comlain about it is purely crazy. People who put up their points for a pre-write only contest are looking for people to be inspired by their contest idea, they aren't looking for someone to find a hole to plug their pre-written poem in. I think both contests have their merits, I personally have a hard time with writing on the fly, but when I saw this contest I got inspired and wrote something which I thought was pretty doggone funny (and short). Honestly, there's a whole heap of contests out there, there's no reason that someone can't find a contest which fits their prewritten poem, there's no need to turn to this contest judge and whine about their 'perfect poetry' if it's good enough for this contest it must surely be good enough for another humorous poetry contest which does accept prewritten poems.
Sorry about the long post, I guess I needed to let this out of my system. Long story short: I agree with Paint this Town Red, her contest, her rules, end of story. -
