Thank you for your consideration of an entry.

REMEMBER: Rules are your friend, it goes a long way to obtaining the prize.

NOTE: I don’t read entries until contest is over. In respect to your time and effort, I will comment on each entry.
DOUBLE NOTE: I judge by “what I like” or am looking for in the contest and then if I have a tie I have a scoring system to help out. I don’t let favorites interfere with my judging. I keep it anonymous as possible. So placing me on the ignore list because you felt you should have won doesn’t faze me in the least.

    You spill out films of misery from every crevice of your tongue.
