EVERY OPTION KNOWN TO MANKIND!!! TAKE A LOOK!

CONTEST WILL NOT CLOSE UNTIL MARCH 21ST!

IF YOU WANT TO DO AN OPTION THAT IS TAKEN WITH AN X, PLEASE CHECK BACK LATER AS SOME PEOPLE WHO BREAK THE RULES WILL GLADLY STEP ASIDE FOR YOU!!!

Symptoms of NOT entering contest: Itching, Vomiting, Shinkage (in various areas ), Sorrow, Nail Polish Remover, Aching, Motion Sickness, Oozing, Weeping, Pain, Death...

This is going to be a combination of every contest I've ever had and then some...There are so many options it's crazy, and all points I get between now and Judgement Day go to here.

Okay, [X] means that there are no more spaces for that option. I set the amount according to how many I would like from each. I take one away every time a poem is entered in that spot, and when it gets to 0 I add an X.

You may enter as many times as you want, but only one poem per option. You may not combine options.

~*~'~*~

My First Contest:

1. [1] Write me a poem about giving a cat a bath!!! For those who have ever done this, we know it's not really a laughing matter...

2. [3] Write me a poem about picking your nose in class and hiding it!!! No, I have not done this before...

3. [2] Write me a poem about sucking your thumb and not being able to stop!!! (a little random but hey?)

~*~'~*~

My Second Contest:

Ever heard of the four elements: Earth, Fire, Wind, Water? Well, now you have. Anywho, almost everyone should know what I am talking about when I say that everyone has a certain element that they...lean towards. For me, it's water. I LOVE water! So here's what I want:
You have to write a poem about the element YOU feel most connected to.

[X] WATER-I don't want you to use the words water, liquid, hydr-anything (i.e. deHYDRated, HYDRolic, etc. whatever)
The better you don't use words like that and still make it so I know what your element is, the better you do. (not to mention the word water will get you DQed)

[X] FIRE-I don't want you to use the words fire, burn, or flames
The better you don't use words like that and still make it so I know what your element is, the better you do. (not to mention the word fire will get you DQed)

[1] WIND-I don't want you to use the words wind, air, or gust
The better you don't use words like that and still make it so I know what your element is, the better you do. (not to mention the words wind or air will get you DQed)

[1] EARTH-I don't want you to use the words earth, dirt, or ground
The better you don't use words like that and still make it so I know what your element is, the better you do. (not to mention the word earth will get you DQed)

~*~'~*~

My Third Contest(I would like to see a little humor here, but don't just make the whole thing a joke):

YOU MUST HAVE *AT LEAST* 5 STEPS IN YOUR PLOT!!!!!!

1. [2] WRITE A POEM - ABOUT HOW YOU WOULD TAKE OVER THE WORLD.
2. [3] WRITE A POEM - ABOUT THE WORLD AFTER YOU HAVE TAKEN OVER.

~*~'~*~

My Fourth Contest:
(1) [1] Tell me what it's like to die. Yes, it's morbid. But that's okay, because as the owner of the contest, I'm allowed to be as morbid as I want.

(2) [1 per song - 2 left] I have 2 songs on my author's page. Pick one. Write either about it or write something inspired by it. Or, about how it applies to your own personal experiences. (Put which one in your author's notes please)

(3) [2] Tell me about me. I know, it's both stupid and vain. I just want to see if anyone can do it...aren't I a stinker?? (I suggest you read my author's page for this one)

(4) [X] Write about smiles! (Thank you for that idea Naz) I admit, if someone can write an interesting thing about smiles, I'll be impressed.

(5) [1] Write a *FUNNY* poem about King Tutankhamen. Make fun of him for being short for all I care.

(6) [1] Write about inspiration. Or rather, about the inspiring feelings that inspiration inspires within you. Get it?

(7) [1 per quote - 14 left] I have several quotes on my page. 15 to be exact. Again, pick one. Either use it in your poem, or use it as a title and base your poem around it. First to message me with it gets it. (I'm hoping you tear each other apart for this one...)

--Bonus quote! If you find it and you're the first to write with it, you're guaranteed at least a HM!--

(8) [2] Write about how you would kill me if you were sent to assassinate me. Plot it out, make it interesting, make sure I don't live to kick you out of the contest for trying to kill me.

(9) [1] Write something about how you would (badly) pick up a guy/girl. Use lame one-liners, cheesy ideas for date spots, and make sure you add a twist.

(10) [X] Write about monsters. Under the bed / In the closet / etc. Make it interesting.

(11) [3] Write a poem in which you are one of the characters from TNBC. I want detail with this! Tell me what bugs you, who you fancy, etc.

(12) [3] Write a poem in "What am I?" type of form...for an example: http://allpoetry.com/poem/3196494

(15) [X] Write about what you see when you look in the mirror...the good, the bad...and the ugly...

(16) [X] Write about your ex or such. In a hateful, murderous way...

(15) [2] Write about the evil demon that posseses your computer...you know what I'm talking about!

(16) [5] IM me and I'll give you a random word which you must use at least 5 times in your poem. Okies, I'm a very understanding person, so if you end up with a word like "rootlet" and can't write with it, im me again and I'll repick. I'm limiting each person's total amount of retries on words to 3 though!

(17) [1] Write about today's society and where it is going. Include the government, poverty, education, and aliens.

(18) [2] Write about how much you hate this contest and all of the stupid rules. Don't forget to mention how mean the creator of this contest is for making all of the stupid rules and such.

(19) [1 per option] Tell me about, A ) Worst Nightmare, or B ) Fondest Dream...The twist? Make me feel as though I'm dreaming while I read it.

20) [1] Tell me about your experience with vampires.

23) [3] Write something kind of like the movie: The Number 23. Make it so that there's some cool thing where you have a hidden message or something like that...Okay...Maybe I watch too many movies...DO IT ANYWAYS!

~*~'~*~

My Fifth Contest:

[1] I believe that it is impossible to truly describe the feeling of absolute depression. For option 1, I would like you to prove me wrong. Explain the feeling of wanting to curl up on the ground and never get up again.

[2] I believe that you must love someone even if they hurt you to the point of breaking. For option 2, tell me why you agree/disagree. Explain pain with love, or pain without.

[1] I believe that nothing is truly original anymore. All things are a cliche because someone has already used or created them. For all options, you must prove me wrong, but for this one (3) especially. Give me something so unique, it changes my opinion of poetry.

[3] I believe that no person is empty enough to make it through life without crying. You cannot try to prove me wrong here, you would be lying if you did. Instead, make me cry. Whether through a personal experience or otherwise, make me cry. This is your fourth option.

[1] I believe that those who do not know themselves are lost. I've never felt as lost as I am now. I don't care how, but help me figure out who/where I am. We'll call this one option 5.

5) [1] Break every single rule and then some!

~*~'~*~

Okay time for the rules! By now, you may or may not be wondering the purpose of the numbers in []. That is how many poems I'm allowing per option. You must message me with your option and which contest it is from. First come first serve. I think that there are enough options for this not to be a problem. I'm not allowing prewrites. Once again, I think there are enough options for this not to be a problem.

1. DON'T BORE ME!

2. Do not type like an idiot just because you have the mental capacity to. Save it for your email, because it has no place in poetry.

3. No "My boy/girlfriend dumped me wah wah wah."

4. Suck up big time! j/k...I'm actually not a big fan of suck-ups...so basically, brownie points are non-existant.

5. Put your option choice and contest number in your author's notes.

6. Put "I'm a little teapot, short and green" in your author's notes so I know you read the rules.

7. NO PLAIN BACKGROUNDS! They're soooooo boring! Also, make sure that your background relates to your poem.

8. No clashing backgrounds/fonts. I have to read it to judge it!

9. While I am allowing swearing/erotica/whatever, DON'T OVERDO IT!

10. Put "Glow in the dark nail polish" in your author's notes so I know you read past 6.

11. Don't mock my favorite movie! (or else!)

12. Don't just put in the stupid phrases and then not follow the rest of the rules!

13. Don't make up random rules just so you can torture people!

14. No love poems! (Unless you're doing #2 of contest 5, or #9 of contest 4, which is supposed to be funny, not gushy, or if you submit it, it qualifies, you follow ALL of the rules to the letter, it applies to at least one of the options, and I approve it...)

15. Please drink responsibly! (i.e. not at all)

16. No not entering the contest!

17. No complaining! After all, the more you whine, the more I'm likely to DQ you...

18. Check back weekly for updates...I have a bad habit of adding rules and such frequently...so make sure you at least check before 03/21/08.

19. Don't not follow the rules that don't apply!

20. Don't feed your llama mi gato gordo! (I'm not crazy peoples...I think)

21. NO USING THE SAME IDEAS AS SOMEONE ELSE!

22. NO RACISM/SEXISM/ANYTHING LIKE THAT!!

23. Please put, "I have read the rules, understand, and agree to abide by them." in your notes. No one enjoys that part, but in most cases it is needed.

I swear. If you do not follow EVERY SINGLE RULE, you will get 1 warning, followed by disqualification if you ignore the warning. (I'll give you 3 days after the warning to fix it before I kick you out.)

REWARDS:

1st - Shiny Gold Trophy and 375 points, not to mention fame beyond your wildest dreams!

2nd - Shiny Silver Trophy and 235 points, not to mention people will idolize you and say you're cool!

3rd - Shiny Bronze Trophy and 125 points, not to mention all the high-fives from your friends...

4th - Weird Green Trophy and 30 points, and your mom will tell you you're special.

5th - Weird Green Trophy and 30 points, and someone will say hi to you.

6th - Weird Green Trophy and 30 points, and...well, you're just lucky there even is a 6th place...

**Point values may change and honorable mentions may be added if I get more points...

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!?!?! WRITE FOR PETE'S SAKE!
