Okay. I've held contests before, but this is actually my first "Options" one. So, please bear with my...hmm. Slowness? Retardedness? Something like that. Just have fun and use your own word here. You have options of Titles, Pictures, Quotes or Themes. Anything goes, but please follow some simple && few rules. :)
[1] Please check your spelling && grammar! I don't care if you use symbols like (&&) to substitute words. Be as creative as you want but please, proofread. Mis-spelled words is a pet peeve of mine.
[2] Make it so I can read it. If I have to highlight, you're going to get DQ'ed. No if's, and's or but's. Consider this your one and only warning.
[3] IF YOU WRITE EROTICA...Please. Put it under the Adult category. This also includes swearing. Label your work appropriately. {{This includes putting which option, && name in the Author notes. Example: "Option Three, 'Gangs' "}}
[4] Have fun. Anything goes, as long as you follow the rules. Be yourselves. I want to see original work. :) And now, onto the options!!

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on December 10, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 2 people
- Final notes: I'm happy to see so many of you have entered my contest, it was really a surprise. Normally I don't get this many entries to re-read over and over, trying to fiigure out winners. I want to thank you all, for giving me differnt things to read, with each poem unique and from your own personality, and some from the heart. I don't think I could have asked for better reads, and I'm sorry I haven't judged it sooner. I hope to see some of these poems get published.
Hope everyone had fun with the contest, and I shall have another one runnign sometime in the near future. Any suggestions for the next one are welcomed.
