There will be no explanations because upon entering this prewrite contest, you are expected to adhere to posted guidelines below.

"I have almost all my contestants in every single contest before never follow the rules"
Same here.
I always put 'don't message me asking why your piece was removed.'
and what do they do?
Just that.
Gosh.
Maybe you and I are the only ones out here that read rules
-
And my piece that I want to enter is 18 lines long.
Is that okay?
I won't enter it until you say you :] -
-
mebbe you can make the shortest lines into longer lines?
-
-
Hmm.
It wouldn't look right :/
oh well.
Thanks anyway hun ♥
-
-
-
all my august pws rhyme so good luck with the contest
-
cool contest, but I don't write under fifteen lines...best wishes with your sanity
peace Muddy -
Do you consider issues to be political? Things that should be dealt with by the govt or that people don't tend to know about.
?
-
-
if you think it fits inside the guidelines, then enter, but if I remove it then you know it doesn't
-
-
If it was written in August but not put on the sit can it still be interested?
I am only asking a lot of questions because I want to make sure I've followed rules before I enter. -
-
I would have no way of knowing when the original written date was because your poem will have the first date, which is in september, as your original publish date. hence why, august prewrites only.
-
-
wow, that was a dumb question on my part. Sorry
-
Good for you for enforcing your rules. I always find that's the hard part.
-
Thank you for the HM & congrats to the winners!
