Hey guys, so it's about time I've hosted a contest. The theme is "Pure Emotion" - you can write about anything except erotica for the sake of younger writers entering this contest.
So write about nature, life, work, sports, love, hate, sadness, happiness, anything as long as you feel pure emotion in it! I want to feel the poem/story/whatever.
Please show me what you've got as a writer, make it worthwhile.
On to some rules:
1. No TyPiNg LiEk DiS!~@~@~$$ - It takes away from the poem.
2. No erotica - There may be minors and they don't need to stumble upon it.
3. Please spell check your work! I won't hold it against you if there are one or two typos. I will let you know when I comment on your work if you've made one so that you can fix it and make your work a masterpiece, but if there are too many errors to the point where I can't read it, I will disqualify you.
4. Try to comment on other people's work - see what you're up against, this is meant to be fun, and you can learn from other people. I won't disqualify you if you don't, but it lightens the mood.
5. Have fun, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to message me!

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on September 30, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 3 people
- Final notes: Hey guys, I just want to thank everyone who entered this contest. Thank you also for commenting on each other's work! I enjoyed reading everyone's work, you all did a great job. I'm pretty sure everyone (except 1 person) entered a prewrite, so next time, I think I'm not going to allow prewrites, I think it would be neat to see you guys come up with something on the spot!
Anyways, it was really hard judging this because I wanted to give you all gold, I loved every piece. You were all amazing, all of these were heartfelt pieces.
On to awards:
Gold: My Memory, My Home
Silver: harvest
Bronze: Soul Longing
3 Honourable Mentions:
The Girl Who Stole The Sky
Daddy, I am dying
Visible in Darkness
These last three: vintage confessions,
Welcome Home Darling!,
and The Ultimate Defence is to Pretend came very close as well.
So congratulations everyone! I'm proud of you!
I'll be hosting another contest soon, feel free to join it! It'll be better!

Contrary to what it might sound like, my poem is not erotic... I'll leave that at your discretion If it freaks you out, I'll enter another one!
