Just another contest

As I have an abundance of points, and tomorrow is special for me, I am holding a contest.

Please write something that you know I will like.

The picture is not a prompt; it is just one of my obsessions: pictures of sunsets and clouds. Do bear in mind that it is mine and should not be "borrowed" without permission.

I am not limiting your style except in these ways:
Proper grammar is a must.
No chatspeak; I do not understand it and it takes to long to find an interpreter.
No StiCkY CapS.
No foul language. It will show up bunny and I will laugh right past you.

Erotica is okay, if tasteful.

I am doing this anonymously this time. I will not know you, so please do not reply to comments until after this ends. There is a time limit. Brownie points will be awarded, if you can figure out why.

Have fun.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on July 30, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 100, Bronze: 75, Honorable mention: 4 people
  • Final notes:
    Thank you all for contributing to my contest. I did not tell anyone what it was for, but July 9th was my birthday and I just wanted some nice things to read. I must honestly say that after I choose the finalists, I did log out and check out the authors. I did not change my mind, I went with first impressions. However, what impressed me more was that I only know four of you and another name that I have just seen in passing. Several of the poems did describe me very well. Although none of them were specific, I do feel that most gave me a good picture of who I am. A couple had nothing to do with me, but one was especially worthwhile.

    Again, I thank everyone. I did add points and HMs to the list. I did not do any commenting, but I plan to do so, now that the judging is over and to at least give applauds.

    Well wishes in your endeavours.

    I will try to enter this, and my, what a lovely picture. I was sitting in my backyard the other day when the sun was setting, and the sun came through the trees so majestically. I took a picture with my phone and everyone I send it to thinks it was be professionally taken. Just a story, friend to friend! Hugs, auntie!

      Thank you. I have gotten quite good at this. I have a sunset cloud fetish (I think I mentioned that already. ) No problem with the story. Enter whenever. *hugs* to you, also, niece.
