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.

My last three poems are horrid

lol! good contest idea
-
-
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.
-
-
thats a good idea, but i dont think i have the muse right now to pen three pieces.
-
-
Understood.

Then enter whenever you wish. I will inform you when I am about to close if you have not entered anything yet for a "just in case".
-
-
I still entered my latest three. If this is still open and I wrote something else, I shall replace it - if its still open.
C'est my plan
-
-
Sounds good.
I can't wait to read them.
-
-
-
-
-
Which also reminds me, if you don't have 3 to enter, you can always enter just 1 or 2.
-
-
I gave you my latest, not the one before the latest, and the one that comes right after that [lol]
I hope I can
my second one is in a contest so don't want to put it in another ..
-
-
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.
-
-
Wow babe ... you have a lot to go through ... are you bored? lol
-
-
Bored & in the mood for some good reading. Hope you've entered.
-
-
This has to be the funnest contest yet!!
-
-
-
Enter enter enter I want the cool prizes ... well the chance at them. !
-
-
I am glad you are excited! I am excited too. I know it is not much yet, but once we hit 700 and up, it will be showered with fun stuff and cool prizes.
It seems improbable, but I will keep this open for a longer now.
-
-
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.
-
-
And now I don't know how many poems I do have here... confused @_@ since you raised the limit to 30.
-
-
Hmmm... I'll count 'em up for you.
-
-
-
-
i think you are going to go crazy reading all these entries, good luck
-
-
I don't expect to judge it all within a day.
So I'll give myself a few days at least. ~ a week at most.
-
-
this is going to take you so incredibly long to judge its going to be rediculous
-
-
I calculated around 5-10 days for judging.
-
-
Interesting!

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?
-
-
Wait a minute... Or do we have to enter 30?
-
-
You may enter up to 30. You can enter any amount less if you want.
-
-
Okay, I fully understand the contest now.

But what I don't understand is why the system won't let me add a second poem! I already entered one, but it's not letting me add a second.
-
-
It's not? Lemme check this out.
-
-
Never mind, I got it now! I was on the wrong screen.

AP is sooo weird sometimes.
-
-
True.
-
-
Oh, and you don't mind if I enter lyrics, do you?
-
-
Not at all.
-
-
Sweet.

My recent 10 are officially entered. ^^ -
-
Yay! You can also enter 20 more once you write them if you want.
-
-
Don't worry, I shall!

Awesome contest.
-
-
Thank you.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
!
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. -
-
ohhh... Okay.
So recent writes, and then I can keep adding them as I write them in April?
I think I get it, thankies!
-
-
Yes!
You got it!
That way, with 30 at max, we might get to the Ultimate Goal.
-
-
WOOHOO

I'm entering my top 10 now!
Oh, and never mind what I said above, it's letting me enter more than one now.
-
-
Okay-dokay.
-
-
-
-
-
-
this is an awesome contest! best wishes to all who enter!
-
-
Thank you.
-
-
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?? -
-
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.
-
-
Curiousity is the worst for me!!!!
We NEED to get to those!
I NEED to find out what the surprises are.
Or else I shall pass out unconcious - after all... curiousity DOES
kill the cat! -
-
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.
-
-
Whoever does manage to win this contest... wow... what an accomplishment.
-
-
That person won't be me.
-
-
You keep your chin up, too, missy!
You never know.
I am going to analyze and read all entries thoroughly & with much thought. Everyone has a chance ~ including you.
-
-
Hee.
Just keep your chin up. 
-
-
Yay I took you past 700!
-
-

*dances ~
No dancing icon? Hmmmmm*
You are a superstar!
-
-
Haha, no, I think you very much are the super star!!!
-
-
We all are superstars.
-
-
Lol, yayy
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
AAAACK I have to know what happens past 700.
-
-
More prizes & a twist for ya.
-
-
*faints*
Wait, it's not like I'm going to win anyways.
-
-

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 ~
-
-



Wait a second, 60 changes???
You added 60 chances.
I don't understand the contest again. Help?
-
-
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.
-
-
OHHH

I get it now.
-
-
Okay.
<3 Best of luck to ya.
-
-
My muse is going haywire again. I need to write for this to fill my curiosity.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
...Holy crap. You are crazy.

I only entered, like, three. Good luck with this! -
-
Maybe so... maybe so...
I was actually wondering if anyone entered around one to five entries alone.
I would probably enter one to three if I wasn't the host of this contest. I like to see what it leads to.
Thank you! Good luck to you as well.
-
-
Yeah, I'm not a very good poet, so I'm not going to burden anyone with shit in vain hopes to get a trophy I don't even need... if that makes sense.
Are you judging this all by yourself? You brave, brave soul.
-
-
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.
-
-
-
-
So how are you judging this?
-
-
Like I would judge any other contest.
-
-
Is this open to anyone?
Or for only those who have entered your previous contest. -
-
Everyone.
-
-
DDAAAANNNGG!!!
Over 900 entries. We were almost at 800 a couple of hours ago.
-
-
I know!
-
-
Christ this is way past the "impressive" stage and more like the most entries in a contest ever (almost I think)!
-
-
That would be neat. 
I wonder what contest the most entries were in. -ponder- I'd like to know what theme it was & who the winner was.
That would be cool to see.
-
-
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!
You could ask a moderator, they might know
-
-
Ohh I see.
I started this two days ago, I think.
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!
-
-
So close to 1000!
-
-
I know, I know!
Someone, anyone enter some fresh writes if you entered 40 prewrites!

Aaaack, I stand that the anxiety.

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.

*throws OUNCES of confetti in the air and runs around scremaing*
This contest shall go down in history.
Now tell us what the Ultimate Prize is
-
-
Prizes are shown on contest page.

Plus the ULTIMATE PRIZE PACKAGE.
Which could grow. 
How do you like it, Ryno? I know how anxious you were.
-
-
Holy mother of pearl!

-

WOOOWWWWW!!! O.O
-
-
-
oh my.
-
-
-
wow. you must be very brave.
and the person who wins this will be a wow-person. -
-
Heh heh.
-
-
Oh my....this will take you forever to read and comment, I don't envy you in the least! Good luck...you are going to need it!
-
-
5-10 days once I start.

Thank yoou.
-
-
we get a note for every poem that we have entered, thats cool
-
-
I am so sorry abou the inconvience. If I had known, I wouldn't have sent such long messages.
-
-
L.O.V.E.
This contest.
Cool idea.
XD -
-
Dank you.
-
-
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 see... I am sorry.
-
-
What happens if we get 1100 entries? More prizes?
-
-
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.
-
Then again, who knows what will happen?
-
-
???
Okay, I'm going to be totally honest here...you totally lost me at the options part.
We do backgrounds for AP and still enter??? Please explain to this old brainfart.
-
-
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.
-
-
you are insane, to have so many entries.
-
-
Hee.
-
-
Wow - just found out about this contest. Since prewrites are no longer allowed, will have to write a new one. So many points....
-
-
Hello grandmom.

I have missed you.
We don't talk very often like we used to.
I betcha you can come up with someone real nice.
Best of luck.

Heh heh, kind of.. but I'm prepared
-

You've really gotten me caught up in the excitment of this now. what fun you seem to be having! Wonder if anyone else is up to reading all these and commenting on them?
good luck dear, you're gonna need it. The commenting will be easy but I don't envy you having to pick the ultimate winner.
-
-
I am glad you are excited! I am excited as well!
I wouldn't know, but if they want to, then by all means they can. ^.^ Good for those who are free members and need the gold membership for a week. 
Thank you hun!
You are so sweet. I hope you have entered.
Would love to see your stuff.
I agree.. there will be so many good picks!
-
-
You're actually going to read all of those poems??
Man, and I thought I was overwhelmed when I had 60 entries in a contest...
-
-
Yep yep.
I am excited! Tomorrow is the day I start. 
-
-
How do you possibly have the time to read and judge all of these? Wow... Good luck.
It's going to take forever.
-
-
I have it scheduled out... Thank you. ^^
Aahhh.. only two weeks max.
-
-
That's what you say now. And in two weeks you will realize it will take more like two months to finish.
-
-
Perhaps
-
-
-
-
Have fun judging!
-
I think we'll all be okay. Hope your laptop works soon.
-
-
Thank you.
-
-
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. -
-
-nods- That's my plan... Read, judge, then comment. Even if commenting takes a month, it'll be done eventually.
Thanks, Ryno.
-
-
I kinda feel sorry for you with all these entries.

You know, I bet you even might get top commentor of the day award a couple of times in a row.
-
-
I know.. I'm gonna try to comment on as many as I can, considering it is hard to do so with so little time since my laptop crashed. ><
I shall survive!
-
-
tsk tsk tsk... What possessed you to make this contest, anyways?
-
Hey Boy......
.....why was Papa Bear not notified of this contest?
-
-
