I came up with the idea of creating a contest for each major category posted here on allpoetry. The first, I decided to do love, as it was around Valentines day. The second, which only recently finished, was for dark writes. This one, is for writes about abuse/pain.
Abuse writes can be very personal and very daunting, therefore I want you to take special care in labeling your entries correctly, as I don't want unsuspecting people clicking on the link and getting the shock of their lives. I appreciate this in advance and I am sure Adam does too.
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.
+ We will get round to commenting you, but we don't know exactly when, so be patient.
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.
Alongside me I have Adam (M a r l u x i a) judging so you will either get a comment from Adam or myself, or both of us.
Order of topics per contest:
1. Love [done]
2. Dark [done]
3. Abuse [doing]
4. Personal
5. Abstract/Metaphor
6. Spiritual/Psychological
7. Other
8. Best of the best! - HUGE CONTEST! :D
name any subject we've missed out :)
Good luck.
Suggestions, please leave them here.
