Thanks to the help of a few friends (thank you guys, so much!), the Ultimate Goal has been judged.

The standings are final.

 

GOLD: "[They are all heros to me,]" by artis.

 

M a r l u x i a says: "I have never read such a poem before that had the aspects of poetry I was not before fond of and then came through. I am not the type to have a long attention span nor do am I much affected when it comes to war related poetry. This piece opened my eyes, though, and went much deeper than your average war poem. This really went into a more valor and dedication atmosphere rather than an overbearing melancholy and gore-filled poem. This poem really sets the reader into the mood and touches the soul. I am amazed by the talent and structure of this piece. A well deserved gold."

 

SILVER: "autism." by aanika-xox.

 

M a r l u x i a says: "This was really in-depth and informative on autism... plus, on a more personal level. This does not only tell the reader about what the effects are but how it affects the family... and the closest person to the main character... the brother. This is heart-touching, especially the very last line. You can really feel what the narrator is going through, and I think this is most deserving of silver."

 

BRONZE: "~Melancholy Filled Sails~" by MysticalRayne.

 

M a r l u x i a says: "Even the title is capturing! Haha, well, anyway... I really enjoyed this poem, and it stuck with me the whole time. The language is just so intriguing... This gives the reader a crisp and clear image... like none other I have ever read. The mood in here is just so enchanting as well... I get caught up in reading this every single time... It was tied with "autism.", but still.. very much deserving of the bronze."

 

The HMs are in order.


This does not mean the ones at the bottom are worse, don't get me wrong.
There were quite a few finalists, but it had to be shortened down to 18.
Be proud if you made it in. If you are not one of the finalist, still hold your head up high.
These standings are how we perceived them. We are entitled to our opinions.

 

Poetry can be read by so many individuals and have a variety of responses. Some people will thoroughly enjoy a piece while others may not get as much affect from it. There is no such thing as a bad poem. It's just different tastes, styles, and way of reading.

      Aw. You can always write a fresh one. It would be considered your latest. Or write 3 good ones & come back here and enter them if you like. This will be open all day & possibly tomorrow as well.

      lol That is perfectly fine. I'm not a strict judge. As long as they are one-three of your latest, say like... 10 poems, it's all good. And even after 10, I could give exceptions if you had a problem. Can't wait for the read.

    I guess I've entered 10 pieces... however, I had to skip some as two of my recent works are a Spanish one (Which you won't fully understand) and a little essay/comment (Not considered poetry).

      That is fine. With 10 pieces, it is a little difficult. Some people might not write as often as others. You can always submit one later on before the contest's end date, since it will be considered a recent one. Thank you for your entries.

    So we can enter up to 10 pre-writes, as long as they are recent? Do they have to just be from April or can they be from February and March, too?

      !

      You can enter your most recent writes ~ 10 of them. Say you have written 3 in April, and 7 in March.. all in a row, or about, and they are your latest 10.. then yes, in March is OK and whenever else.

      Then you may enter up to 20 from this April, regardless of the exact written date. As long as it is April 2008.

    OK I got a little confused .. you want our latest top 10 or top ten in general? or our best poems posted since the beginning of April??
    What about poems that are not written recently but have not been posted on AP yet??

      April 5, 2008
      Edit | Reply
      It is quite confusing. Here, lemme help.

      When the contest was only 10 entries, I wanted your latest 10 entries, not your best. The last ten poems you wrote. Now, the option is open for 30 poems. If you want to enter your latest 10, you may, but you can also enter any poem written from this month. If you write a poem from now until the end of the contest (when judging begins), you may enter it if you stay at or below 30 entries. No more than that.
      And for poems not on AP but not recent, they can be entered if you post them on AP now. The time you posted on AP matters.

      I am looking at the prizes right now, and honestly, I think the Ultimate Prize is the best... it has so much.

      The 900 mark has the 2nd best.

      The 700 & 800 are pretty good, too, since that is where I find things start to intense. :3

      If anything, tell your friends. You can always nudge them into it if they want. 30 entries max ~ I would hope most will enter that many or try to in the period.

          Hey you ~ yeah you. STOP BASHING YOURSELF.

          This contest is meant for having fun & being excited. Doing your best & going towards the goal. Not strapping yourself down and beating on yourself until you eventually pass out.

          Cheer up ~ everyone has a chance. If you write poetry from the heart... write with your emotions & something that appeals to you as the writer.. then you have a major chance. Poetry is much more than language and depth. Even the most cliche of poems can be great, if done with qualities that a poem would have.

          Just be honest w/yourself and have a good time. If you are doubting yourself, write... write your feelings and see what that will do. <3 <3

          You have 60 chances. Anything can happen ~

              I added a twist for all you guys.

              You may now have 40 prewrites in the contest. If you already have 30 in, you may now take 10 poems from any time and enter them.

              You also have 20 fresh writes you can enter. Fresh meaning written in the contest page and not w/the prewrite option for the contest.

              Max entry is 60 poems.

          It makes sense in a way, but you also can't bash yourself. :/ Because as a writer, it's better to enjoy your poetry.. Funny this is, when you do like what you write, it tends to appeal to others as well because they can kind of feel that appreciation and honesty.. You know what I mean?

          Yes, I am.

            There was a 1000 entry one a while ago, no theme, just prewrites, but that took an age to fill up...like weeks, maybe even months, this is definitely the fastest ever contest to this number of entries!

It just started out being a contest for me to get some reads in & I needed gold membership again since mine ran out... but when my grandmother very kindly said she would renew it again & continue until I got my own account, I was so happy.. so I wanted to make it even bigger & give more prizes because I want to make others happy too.

                The only time I've ever had a membership is when I've commented my way to a silver...I did that a couple of times, this you could comment 100 a day and get a membership for ageeesss!

                  For 10 days, perhaps. I plan to comment 100-200 a day (I do have a day coming up this weekend where I will be going to a college to check out the campus and how it works at college, but that will one of the only "freebie" days of mine.)

                  I would rather give any gold/silver time I receive to the winner of that membership (it would save me a little bit), but I dunno if I can do that... :/

                    Ask a moderator, I'm sure something could be worked out as these are fairly special circumstances!

                      I have a very good friend who is a mod. I will ask her when she gets on. Or, if she isn't on soon, I will ask another. Thank you for the suggestion!

            They're prizes were pathetic compared to yours!

            You certainly have a hell of a lot of points!

              Aww. It still seemed like a fun contest.

              I thought no one will enter 1000 entries if the prizes were not good. So I hope the entrants are pleased. I am still thinking of things to include in the Ultimate package.

              I was saving up for a special occasion. I am sure I will be making another large contest like this later on. <3 This is just too fun.

      Prizes are shown on contest page.

      Plus the ULTIMATE PRIZE PACKAGE. Which could grow.

    Just so you know, I think the notes are multiplying because people have multiple entries in the contest. I have about 30 entries in this contest, so I keep getting 30 notes from it.

      I decided on 1234 entries to be the end point, if anyone makes it that. Freshwrites.. a challenge.. and an increase of points. Gold increases to 3,000 more, and Silver + Bronze by 1,000 more. Not much, but just a little addition.

      In the past few days, the entrants have been sending in poems to make it to 1000 entries.. the Ultimate Goal. Now that the mark has been reached, the contest is only open to prewrites.. so anyone who did not enter before & wants to win the prizes mentioned (underneath the trophy places at the end) can have a chance by entering as many fresh writes as they want. And anyone who has entered may work towards the contest's entry limit, 1234, for an increase in points for the winners. Poems, not backgrounds, can be entered.

    If worse comes to worse and you have to get it judged before mods have to judge it you can always read all the pieces then take time commenting everyone - if that helps.

    Don't stress yourself.
