Heyyyyy!!
Ok, So, yeah, I know there are quite a few of these old contests floating around, but I'd been wanting to do one for so long! So, Laydees and Gentlemens, Bois and Gurls, and those who are confused in the middle....
Welcome,
To Prompt You!
:Cue Applause: Yaaaaaayyy!!
The way it works is clear.
I have a list of quotes, from numbers 1, right through to 60.
What I ask of you darling individuals is to 'start' a new poem, and your title is to be the number you request.
Following that, I shall IM/PM (whichever, I mean I'll message you personally) with your quote/lyric. I shall then post it on this page, so people are
a, not choosing the same numbers, and
b, they can see what other people are writing for, and can be inspired again themselves, if desired!
For example, you'd like to write about quote #47, You don't know what it is yet, so you start a new poem, and put 47 as the title. I'll then send you a message with the quote that you asked for, and you will then write your poem. This means I will only comment on your poem once...Which suits me fine, and means all of your comments are useful. (Hopefully!)
Rules-
~Must include full quote in Author Notes, (stops copyright issues if you give them credit!)
~Any form, style accepted. Freewrite, rhyme, left aligned, centre, dirty pretty, all fine...
~Any topic, but I need to see the link between the write and the quote...if tenuous, explain in AN!
~Multiple writes allowed, if you dare!! (You do NOT have to request new quotes... Go on... set yourself a challenge, make a completely different poem out of the same one!!!)
I may add HM's later (probably will, actually, I usually do!)
Any questions, Message me/Comment, you beautiful people!
GLWT!
