Rules:

1) No bashing anyone!
Let's play nice.

2) No swearing!
No need for it here.

3) No dark poems or stories!
It's the holidays and
happy times.



(Kirbysman)


4) You MUST include the names of all
the moderators in your write!

You can find a list of names at the bottom of
the page for your referrence.

5) The theme must be of a moderator gathering of sorts,
where everything that can go wrong
does go wrong ect ect.



(Maatkara)



Now for the best part of the contest...
the PRIZES!


The gold winner will be awarded 1000pts
and a 3 month silver membership

(Thank you Santa!)

Also, we are offering a bonus!

      HI Vera,

      Glad to see this contest has caught your attention As for not having a set subject well we ask it be the following which is stated on the page


      5) The theme must be of a moderator gathering of sorts,
      where everything that can go wrong
      does go wrong ect ect.

      A gathering of the moderators, be it Xmas or New Years or even a meeting of some sort, but holuday related. How would you see such a meeting/gathering happening? What could possibly go wrong?

      If you have any questions please feel free to ask

    Don't do well with this type of contest, will leave to the much better poets who seem to come at writing these with ease. Pondered for a while, but found that I would be the one who went completely wrong with a write. I will be intersted in reading the ones that do come up with something. Hope you have a lot of entries, I'm sure you will be most entertained

    Ho Ho Ho!

    Hmm I forgot how special these names were now I got faces to put on them. What could be worse? Well I will say this much since time is of the essence that this seemed to be rather entertaining sitting here making money bored as hell. But it could be worse like I just said. I shall always think of this when ever I think about this site for the next 4 years!
