Final Fantasy Fans...this Contest is for YOU!!

I love the Final Fantasy series of games...especially Vincent Valentine (see picture)...What I want are poems about a Final Fantasy character...ANY character, from any of the FF games, or any story line, just make sure you put their name/story in your author's comment box...I would be thoroughly tickled to get poems about Vincent... (if you'd like an example, here's a link to one I wrote...) http://allpoetry.com/poem/show/2776952
And remember, Moogles are characters too! Kupo!

ok, the rules:
- no sticky caps
- no chat/gaming lingo..please don't, it makes my brain hurt!!
- try to stay away from erotica...I know some of these characters are just too beautiful to be real (Vincent!!) but, I just don't think erotica applies here...
- no prewrites...

Enter as many times as you like...
I will try to comment on each entry...
I reserve the right to close the contest early...
I may add more points if I like the entries I get...

Have fun with this!!

If you have a prewrite that you think would fit this contest, message me and perhaps I'll bend the rules for you!

Alright!! This is going SO well so far (suggestion... write about a character from Final Fantasy VI, Shadow, Locke, Terra, Kefka, Cyan, Celes, GoGo, Sabin, Edgar, Relm, Setzer, Mog, um..that abominable snowman thingy who's name I can't seem to recall right now...*scratches head* OR even chocobos!!)

HEY GUYS!! RAVEN TEARS AND I DECIDED TO START A FINAL FANTASY GROUP ON HERE....WHAT DO YOU THINK? WOULD YOU ALL JOIN AND BE A PART OF IT? LET ME KNOW, ALRIGHT? PERSONALLY, I THINK AN FF GROUP ON HERE WOULD ROCK!!!

    nice

    it's a really good idea. I love final fantasy, but I don't know any of the characters well enough to actually write something about them. I'm still pretty new. you'll probably get some amazing writes! have fun!

    Okay I like to enter but I have a prewrite which I mailed you about. I like final fantasy x the best. It have been a long timne since I played. Yuna was always my favorite. Auron is awesome and kicks a**. I like Tidus though. I always liked underdogs.

        Good. By the way, if you love Vincent Valentine, you'll love this one fanfic called "The Poetry in Blood." If you've never read it, you can find it here: http://www.casualvillain.com/words/ThePoetryInBlood/

        If you have read it, then I'm sure you'll have no trouble agreeing it's pretty much the most awesome fanfic ever written for, well, anything.

        I gotta warn ya, though, it's pretty long--the whole thing could probably fit in a decent-sized novel.

    Final Fantasy games are amazing. I was thinking about something for Cloud, but I can't get my head around anything that hasn't already been said in Advent Children.... grr.

      try it, anyway...I don't care if it's already been said...if it has, pay tribute to it the way I did in "Lucrecia's Apology." I didn't say anything there that hadn't already been said, I just paid tribute to it...come on, give me one for the love of the games!!! you know you want to!!!

    Awwww, I didn't get the chance to enter. I thought that the contest was ending on the 5th of Arpil. Please hold another one like this in the near future.
