17.Forever Gone Forever You

18.I Must Be Dreaming

19.Hello

20.Understanding

21. you may just pick your favorite song and do this but i would prefer one of these choices because i think they would be some of the most challenging.

22. Bonus bonus points to anyone who does You. i don't know many people who have heard the song and i don't know how you could turn that into your own. i mean everyone will have just as much of a chance as you if you write a poem about this song....but it will definitely be impressive.


okay those are ur choices...and choose well.
    you may choose any of these and you just have to write a poem that may look like the song but it has to have your own personality thrown in...i just want to hear your version of the song. you don't have to write lyrics it can just be an inspiration from the song....which i would prefer.
   there are only a few rules:
~rules~
1.No making fun of Evanescence
2.No sticky caps
3.no erotica
4.cuss as much as you want you bunny bunny mother bunny bunny sucker!!!!!
5.you don't have to stick to the general idea of the song...i want your inspirations!!!!!!!!!!!!!
6.in your author's notes put ~Amy Lee is a rock Goddess~ and the choice you chose.
7.i want to know what your favorite song by Evanescence is...it will tell me more about you so put that in your author's comments too...(optional)
8.(optional) please try and read each other's work!!!!! i really want to bring us all together as an Evanescence Fan club of a site!!!! obviously optional but i would really really be happy if you guys read each others work...show each other some respect!!!!!! no you don't have to read my work....but comments are always appreciated!!!!! but you don't even have to consider it if you don't want to!!!!!
9.No prewrites....how could there be?????

~Awards~
1st place:300
2nd place:200
3rd place:100

please have fun with this!!!! if i ever go to an Evanescence concert i will definitely be giving this to Amy as a present!!!!! so if you want to put your name on it you can......if a majority of you guys don't want me to do that...please send me a message and i won't...but otherwise Amy Lee,John LeCompt,Rocky Gray,Terry Balsamo, and Will Boyd could very well feast their eyes on your work so...make it your best.

    Amy didn't want the song 'You' to get out to the fans, so if you do include poems in your present, you'd best leave the ones inspired by 'You' out.

    I'd have to say one of my favorites by Evanescence is their remake of "Thoughtless" by Korn. It's off the "Anywhere But Home" live album. And please change the font color. It's hard for me to read it. I have to highlight the words to make sense out of them.

    Nope there are no more secrets unfortunately . The only reason I figured this one out was becasue there were credits at the end of the DVD about the Billboard Awards...but since there were no credits for anything else, I think that is it. I also hear of a secret on the original origin CDs, but since the originals are so rare I don't have one so I can't really explain it. Oh well. I already entered, hope you like it.

    cool

    Hi! I TOTALLY agree with you! Evanescence are gods and I love them to death, but I thought they only had one album. Most of the songs up there I haven't even heard of. Will you please tell me what their other album is so I can get it and ROCK ON? Thanx!
