Dewdrop Morphing {contest]

 

Last week I hosted a "quickie" contest. They seem to be all the rage on here as of late, and I must admit I quite enjoyed it and had some wonderful entries. The name of the contest was "Raindrop Morphing" http://allpoetry.com/contest/2356972

 

 

 

 

This is not such a quickie that it will close in an hour or so. I will close it tomorrow morning [July 10th] or after 20 entries[whichever comes first] This was extended for one extra day. I would like more entries to judge from if possible.

 

 

 

 

You did so well morphing into a raindrop, that I am sure you can do it with a dewdrop as well.

Become one and go from there wherever you might fancy to be.

 

 

 

 

The rules are pretty much the same------a few differences only. I will allow "mildly erotic or sensual" this time. I am sure most of you understand what is meant by that. If you overstep those boundaries I will ask you once to re-write it-or I will disqualify. Please understand that I am not turned on by vulgarity and that there is a huge difference between sensuality and mild erotica vs pornography.

 

 

 

 

so the rules are:

1) be curteous and do not bash each others writes

2) try to comment on each others writes [that is not a requirement though] as I understand the lack of time to do so all the time. I will not hold it against you if you do NOT comment

3) I will comment on each entry while judging [I will read them all though as time allows, but will reserve commenting until later]

4) Please no more than 20 lines

5)Form does not matter...if you rhyme however make sure it is not forced. Also if you are using a complicated form , please note the name of the form in your author note.

6) Please use proper grammar as well as spell-check-but I can overlook an accidental typo. We are all fallable.

 

 

 

I am looking forward to your entries . Be creative....you are writers and "imagination" is one of your strengths. Best wishes to all my wee lil dewdrops...

 

thank you,

reenie

 

 

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on July 11, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 300
  • Final notes:
    Thank you once again for a wonderful contest [whomever you may be]This is one of the few that I have held anonymously, and I believe I prefer it the other way. That is not because I want my friends to win [on the contrary] I believe I know what they are capable of and I hold them to those standards Everyone here did a fantastic job and this is the first time that I had one contestant a bit upset with me [I guess because he is rightfully proud of his work , and I failed to see and or read the entry the way he thought I would}. I hope we can go on from here......but I felt that I could not make exceptions in order to be fair to all others. Thanks again. The ones that did not recieve a trophy are not in any specific order
    congratulations and hugz of thank you,
    reenie

    Hahahaaa..."fallable" That was quite clever. This looks rather interesting. I hope you get enough good entries to make judging difficult.
