    I was hoping pre-writes were allowed because I wrote a poem inspired by a Twilight Zone episode about a doll called Talky Tina that scared the bejeebers out of me when I was a kid. Here's the link anyway -

      EDIT: I now allow pre-writes... i realized not many people are "twilighties" or trekies so pre-writes are ok. i know i would probably want the same if i stumbled across a contest like this.

      -Vampirella hahaha, i am reminded of this show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ct8rdiWm9w
