Some people on here hate dirty pretty and that's fair enough, but I find it a fascinating and beautiful form. I find I can express myself better with this form than with others and don't really care if some of you folks don't like the form. Frankly, you don't have to enter this contest if you don't like the form, go to another one of my contests or a different contest holder all together.
Now I got the unpleasantness over with, I'd like to propose... Well, anything, in this genre. I have some options here for you & I'd appreciate it if you added the option number in your authors comments box.
♥1♥ Write me a murder in dirty pretty form. Any kind of murder. Political, crime of passion, accident, massacre - just make sure it's in dirty pretty form and the form isn't lost within the topic. I'm sure you sweeties can do this for me, I have all the faith in the world laying on you!
♥2♥ Enter your best dirty pretty prewrite. Please only enter one prewrite for this option. You can enter prewrites for the other options but you must add the option number to the prewrite. I don't mind more than one prewrite but for option 2 I do not want more than one prewrite. Blow me away with your best shot at dirty pretty, or the one that you are most proud of or won the most trophies. Basically, give me your all.
♥3♥ Write about being a young girl who has made many mistakes and chosen the wrong friends and partners and incidentally has made a name for herself as a slut or whore. Expand on this idea and write me a heartfelt write through either her eyes or the men who encounter her. She is between 16-19.
♥4♥ Write me about prostitution. About how the prostitute feels, or the client. This can be in any style.
♥5♥ Like option 4 I want you to write about prostitution, but I want you to write about a particular incident or 'night out' for this prostitute/pimp or client.
♥6♥ Look through my poems (don't have to comment at all) and rewrite one of my none dirty pretty writes as a dirty pretty write. Change words and moods, just write down which poem it is you have expanded on peoples x
♥7♥ Use as many of these phrases as you like. Put the ones you used in authors comments (punctuate in your own places or change it, just keep the words the same):
& if I cry a thousand times more you may just smile whilst I fade away;;
t.e.a.r.s make me stronger after each adrenaline rush;
Take me and tie me up baby so I can be [[perfect]] in your eyes for once
Dare to l♥o♥v♥e me baby;;
B.r.o.k.e.n and t|o|r|n til I can't feel anymore
Heroine, Nictotene, Caffeine;; none as addictive as you;
Oh what a beautiful disaster I have become
Nothing lasts forever, just like each breathe I take;
I am just your plaything;;
I am your whore without pay
Another tear slides down my c*h*e*e*k.
Broken ♥ never let go of lost love
OK now for the rules!!
Rules
1. Please enter option and sub-option is appropriate.
2. Please add Call me b|e|a|u|t|i|f|u|ll; I need to hear that pretty l*i*e (can punctuate that however too).
3. Can swear or use erotica, just be tasteful.
4. Dirty pretty please.
5. Enter as many times as you like. But only one prewrite in each option. Can enter a fresh write in each option as well. So basically one fresh and one prewrite is allowed per option, just to stop confusion.
6. Prewrites allowed.
7. Have a lot of fun everyone!!!

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on June 8, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 50, Bronze: 25, Honorable mention: 5 people
- Final notes: Thank you all for the beautiful entries. It was hard to choose winners. I chose the ones that hit me in the way I wanted to be hit, metaphorically speaking.
Pretty much all your writes were raw and emotional; I loved the meaning behind and the explanation some of you added. I think this was a successful contest, so I added extra points to Silver and Bronze and I also added 5 HM's for their troubles.
Anyway hope to see you around the site. Well done and best of luck with all your [beautiful, I mean it] poetry♥
