15 minutes - 3


15 minutes.

no rhyme.

left align.

write, just write.

don't overthink.

short or long (but i don't believe 15 minutes can allow too long).

it closes at my discretion.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on January 31, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 300
  • Final notes:
    Damn. I loved the variety.

    I had to give Muddy first because of the metaphor that was just fabulously done.

    Because I have been hosting so many damn contests I am running points low but if I had them the seven finalists all would have gotten something.

    Thanks for playing. Its been fun.

    Think I'll pass this one. Too much stress to try to do it with all the chaos at work. Hope to see more of these though. So fun!

    Think your 15 minutes are getting a bit longer each time - that is good - allows more to enter. LOL
