Hi!
This is my first contest, as I am very new to this site. =]
I don't know how to fix the only one entry thing, I'm so sorry!
So I guess one entry is the limit.
D:
I want to get your creative juices pumping, and I want to see hard work out of you guys. =]
As far as form, I tend to be partial to rhyme, flowing, that is.
You may look at my own poetry to see what sort of style I prefer.
The topic is up to you, though I want deep emotion, profound thinking, and a unique perspective if you are to choose a topic that is often written about.
I don't want to read something that I feel I've already read.
I want to be moved, to feel emotion as I read your work.
I generally don't like emo poetry unless it's extremely well written, I don't know what Dirty Pretty is, but I don't think I like it...
I don't usually prefer non-rhyming over rhyming...
Though if you do non-rhyming well, that's a different story.
I will be partial to good grammar and spelling.
If your entry is well punctuated, capitalized and well spelled, I consider it a more refined entry and you'll most likely do better.
Make me feel.
Don't bore me with seventh grade school stories, cliches, or overly forced poetry that's really only special to that "someone".
Rules:
1. No erotica. MILDLY sensual is fine, but that's it. You'll be DQ'ed immediatly if it's not tasteful.
2. Do not overuse profanity. Once or twice is fine, but more than that and it loses tastefulness.
3. Use grammar. It'll help you a lot.
4. nO tYpInG lYk DiS. kay? kay.
5. Do take a look at my poetry, it'll help you get an idea of the form I'll most likely be subconciously partial to. This is definatly not required though. xD
6. Please post in your AP what your inspiration was, why you chose that topic, and what makes it different from the norm. This is only a required two sentances or so.
7. No rule seven.
xDD
Have fun!

Hi!
It's only allowing one prewrite! -
Uhm, I'm so sorry about the multiple entry thing...I told it to allow three! D:
Is it working better now? I put a '0' in front of the '3', that might help...D: -
"I will be partial to good grammar and spelling."
"choose a topic that is often wrote about." - I'm pretty sure that should be "written"
