24 Hour Contest :The Rent is Due...

...and that really has nothing to do with the contest at all.

Just write something.

Ten lines or less.

Any subject.

No rhyme.

Left-align.

Due to problems with my computer that doesn't allow me to judge contests myself, I'm adding onerios13 as a judge to act in that capacity. Don't expect comments from her, she likely wont be reading entries. She's only been added to close the contest and post my final notes.

I, however, will comment on everything.

So get to writing.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on June 26, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 2 people
  • Final notes:
    Yay! I'm able to judge it myself. lol. For whatever reason, the gods were smiling when I woke up, and AP was working correctly for me again. Good day.

    Anyway, I can't say enough how much I appreciate all of you entering, and giving me some fantastic entries to ponder. I juggled between my finalists, but finally settled on an order I felt really good about. Some of you made it extremely difficult, and I love ya for it. Hope to see you all in the next one being posted soon.

    "something"
    There it is, I win(lol).
    I did as instructed...you said write "something."
    If you noticed, I even did it twice to make sure it was right.
    Have fun with your contest, just wanted to show you my sense of humor
