May I Prompt You?

Picture is Your Prompt!

.

 .
Picture Credit: http://evilxelf.deviantart.com/art/Yesterday-s-Girl-38650200 
.
.

Normally these contests do not go too well but I have hopes for this, as the picture tells me a story, one I can feel personally;
.
.

Rules:
.
  • There is no word or line limit here; however I have a short attention span;
  • Do not under any circumstances enter the poem you write for this into another contest until this one is closed and judged;
  • Credit the Picture in your AN;
  • Entering more than once is welcome;
.
.

Reserves Welcome
.
.

I reserve the right to close this early if I feel I haven’t gotten enough entries

.

.
Please Note:

  • More points will be added at closing same as always
.
.
.

Please Remember!
.
  • No Word or Line limit BUT I have a short attention span
  • Do NOT enter this in another contest until this is judged
  • CREDIT the picture in your AN!  -  I won't be nice and allow it to stay if you do not credit the artist properly [It is my pet peeve]

.

.

 

I have more than once had a poet enter a poem in my Picture contests and use a different picture - Do NOT do this! Please!  I am prompting you for a reason.

.

.

.

 Brownie Points:  The name of the Picture is "Yesterdays Girl" - THAT is what this picture powerful for me; brownie points if you bring Yesterdays Girl into the poem somehow

.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on October 3, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Honorable mention: 23 people
  • Final notes:


    Thank You everyone♥

    I gave everyone an HM instead of the Brownie Points since almost every single entry had yesterdays girl in it - I'll admit that was a little disappointing but nonetheless

    HMs - the first 6 HMs are the orignal HMs going to be awarded - the rest are not in order and are the Brownie Points


    Stay safe♥
