Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on November 29, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 400
- Final notes: Hello, everyone;
Firstly, my apologies to those I never had a chance to comment on. I've been sick and up to my eyeballs in schoolwork/running the new member's contest, and despite trying my best to get to all your poems, I didn't quite make it... On the upside, I'm so happy that there was no crap in this contest. Every single one of you delivered, but the winners were the ones that had the most impact on me. This contest even put me in a much-better mood than the last one. Thank you all for entering, and now that essay-season is over, I will be able to finish judging in peace once I shake this stupid bug.
My very best to all,
L.

"picking fights with the judge is a no-no"
agreed. I don't understand why people do that. people need to grow-up -

Well, I just came off of hosting a contest where not one, but THREE of the contestants decided to pick a fight. Unfortunately, the people in my OTHER contest bore the brunt of my pissed-off-ness and I left them some pretty nasty comments
I don't want to scare people away, but it pisses me off when people bash the final decision... It's like "this is MY contest, these are MY rules... FOLLOW THEM, DAMNIT!"
*head-shake* -

agreed. if they don't like it they can suck it up and go run their own contest.

Indeed! That's why I always include the "this is MY contest... blah blah..." in the description. If people want to complain about it, then don't enter...

Oh, my pretty one... I don't know how I missed your reply, but it's the most beautiful thing I've heard all day
