I came up with the idea of creating a contest for each major category posted here on allpoetry. I have decided to start with love, as it's coming up to Valentines Day and I feel quite romantic.
The Rules::
+ Enter as many times as you like (100 if want!)
+ Prewrites allowed and encouraged
+ Swearing/erotica etc is allowed, as long as you label entries correctly
+ Less than 50 lines preferably, but this isn't a rule
+ Tell your friends.
Points/trophies will go up! I imagine they will both go up quite a bit.
Oh and I'm hoping to get at least 200, but more is perfectly acceptable.
Good luck all.
~ Stef ~
Other categories I'll be covering:
Dark
Abuse
Metaphor/Abstract
Personal
Other
Suggestions, please leave them here.
Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on March 8, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Honorable mention: 10 people
- Final notes:
Thanks everyone for the patience in the judging. I had a bad back which slowed the judging down and then have been in rounds contests, but it's all cool now as I have been helped by M a r l u x i a (Adam).
I am going to continue on this series so you all can enter your prewrites there too!
So yeah, keep an eye out everyone. Will probably post a link on here, but just keep a check up, next time wont take so long!
M a r l u x i a will be helping me in all of these, which is great. So thank you very much Adam, it's a pleasure bro!
Well done to the winners, hope you enjoyed the contest. I commented on all, or Adam did, however small! We are kind like that.
Well done again and look forward to the next installment!

I used to think that love was how much pleasure you could get out of it. Pleasure can not run a relationship.

Good luck with this, judging high entry number contests can be a nightmare. Last one I did had only about 40 or so, which isn't hugely high, but one of the entries was 450 lines long lol.
I think I have already entered most of my love stuff in other contest you have held, so I might have to write fresh for this.
Excellent contest and excellent dedication. -
Hey, you and me both. Good luck with your contest! I think I'll enter a write or two.
