Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on December 15, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 300
  • Final notes:
    This was a very difficult contest to judge (Tattboy speaking) so it came right down to the wire.

    In the end "Windows of the Cursed" got it by being a mix of a very proficient poem (loved the 'broken rhyme') with being a great story using just a few lines.

    Well done to the winner and thank you to everyone who entered.

    Oh, if you're wanting to read morbid pieces, I wrote one that's morbid and amusing once you know what it's about; http://allpoetry.com/poem/3702820
    Either way, this was fun, you don't see enough contests with suitably dark inspiration.
