Okay here's the deal. This is my first contest, and I'm holding it to expand my AP family, and to find new poetry to read, and to inspire me [how exciting 
]
First I'll tell you a little bit about myself, my name is Becca, I'm 15 and I live in The Netherlands. I'm looking for a brother, a boyfriend and/or girlfriend, a mother, any aunts/uncles/cousins, I already have sisters but I love sisters so generally anyone is welcome except a father because I already have the most amazing one
I want your best poem, prewrites are totally welcome. It doesn't have to be on any subject in particular, I just want something original that YOU are proud of. There are only a few rules, and a few hints as to what kind of poetry I like.
Rules :
1) It can be a poem or a story
2) I would appreciate it if you would keep swearing to a minimum, though I don't mind as long as you don't use the word c×nt, I hate it.
3) Only 2 entries per person
4) Please put 'toadstool fetish' in the authors note to prove you read the rules and include what part of my family youd like to be. If you dont, I may have to delete your poem. I'm sorry, I don't like to be harsh, it's just easier for me.
6) Have fun!! (that's the most important one)
Preferences:
1) I usually read dark and/or sad poetry. But all poetry is fun
2) Rhyming sometimes really bugs me as it seems forced, but I'm up for it anyway.
3) If you can make me laugh or cry... then I will worship you for life
First place: Shiny golden cup (whatever part of my family you want to be) and 300 points (yay!)
Second place: Shiny silver cup (as above ) and 100 points
Third place: Less shiny but still awesome bronze cup (my love
) and 50 points.
Depending on how it goes (I don't even know if anyone will enter) honorable mentions may come about... and maybe the points will change. Please join, it would make my day.
And one more things, I will try to comment on every single one!

Dear god, lol. That's a lot of perspective family members. Well I certainly wish you luck in judging this ridonculous amount of entries (Yes ridonculous, I like to make up words).
