-
Lol yeah I remember that xD
That's why I was asking ! It came up twice and I was just wondering if there are MSI lovers on here xD -
-
but what is MSI?
-
-
oh it's a band.
It's really Mindless Self Indulgence, but MSI for short =] That's a mouthful xDD -
-

how many times can we enter?
-
-
sorry, only once at the moment. but i might change that and if i do i will send out a message to everyone in the contest.
-
-
No! You're not a Twilight fan...Can't you hear the sarcasm?
-
-
of course not! why would you think i was? JK!!! Lol!
-

Somewhere in these comments, Missa, you mentioned only being able to enter one poem, but the contest says one may enter two pieces. I'm curious which is correct; I have entered a poem based on a title prompt but I think I'd really like to try my hand at writing one for your goldfish story, lol. Any input?
-
-
oh yeah, you can enter two. i changed it about halfway through the contest. and if you worte on a title, you can do any other option, just not the same exact title. lol. thanks for asking!
and the goldfish one would be great! no one has done it yet! lol. -
-
Awesome, thank you! Posted it this evening. Poor goldfish. What an adorable prompt that was!

Thank you for the silver. I am delighted!
Congratulations to the other winners and thank you for hosting.
