The Random Rounds - Round 8

Welcome to the yet another round. You're all doing a great job! This round, you will have to contact one of the judges for inspiration. You can contact Frodofan, JM Kenyon, or CelticMoon. But only one (unless they should be too busy to get back to you in time). Whoever you contact will then give you something that you will have to use as your inspiration. It may be a picture, a quote, or anything we feel like giving you. Beware! The Contestants: Trista put S.O.S. bonus into affect Poetryality Desire Blondone Whitemaiden Ash-er-mah-leigh Wolfspiritguide = entered The Bonus 10 points added to the score of anyone who can work an octopus into their poem. There is also a hidden bonus that will also get you 10 points added to your score. The Catch! If you get an 89 or lower from each of the judges you will automatically be eliminated (even if someone else got a lower score but did not get 89 or lower from ALL of the judges.) RULES #1 No adult material. #2 No nutcrackers! #3 No extensions. Contest closes when it closes. Make it in or not. If you do not, you will be eliminated. #5 Absolutely no chat lingo. #6 No bashing. #7 You must put your username in your author notes. #8 Your poem must be inspired by your prompt. Explain your inspiration in your notes. Scoring System Title - 10 Style - 10 Form - 10 Spelling - 10 Captivating - 10 Originality - 10 Reaction - 10 Rules - 10* Makes sense - 10 Enjoyable - 10 With the highest you can get being 100 10 is the most you can get. Each part of your poem will be rated on a scale of 0-10. *For the RULES category you can only get 10 or nothing. If you so much as do not follow one rule, you get nothing. You can get nothing inbetween 0 and 10 only 0 or 10. If you have any questions, don't be shy. Judging Panel: Frodofan - JM Kenyon - Celticmoon

  • Final notes:
    1st - Wolfspiritguide 2nd - Desire 3rd - Poetryality It is with much regret that I announce the elimination of Whitemaiden this round. She came in with the lowest score this round, 222. Whitemaiden, you know you've got a lot of talent and I'll keep reading your work. Ha ha and keep bothering you for the rest of your life! Also leaving us is Ash-er-mah-leigh, one of our often winners, with a score of 247 because she got less than 89 from each of the judges. Sorry to see you go. You were doing so great. But, afterall, it's just a silly contest. Keep writing. You have a very original style. Dry Summer/Sullied Heaven by Wolfspiritguide 269 Ivory Carousel... by Desire 266 My Tower by Poetryality 257 Somewhere Inbetween by Blondone 248 Bonecarver by Ash-er-mah-leigh 247 Code Name... by Whitemaiden 222 We're down to five contestants now. Only a few more rounds to go... Trista used her S.O.S. bonus this round to escape elimination.

    Thank you so much for the Bronze here. Wow! Looks like we've dwindled down to very few contestants. I am patiently awaiting the next Round. I won't be on much after today so please leave me a link if possible, although I will be checking.

    Congrats to all the winners and those who managed to stay afloat!


    Much Love ♥
