haha, i see you are you on your old account?
-
-
Why yes I was lol.
-
-
haha. i love the name though.
-
-
-
-
gahhh i'd love to enter but i already am in 390489 rounds contests. if you ever need an extra judge though, i'd love to help. ♥
-
-
sure then.
-
-
wonderful (:
-
-
Shaaahahaha!
-
-
are there any guidelines i should go by or any information i should know ?
-
-
not that I know of. between us three we need to make a 100-point rubric for the next round.
-
-
This is the rubric I use: I grade using a rubric of my own creation: 25/25 1. Must follow rules 100%: 5/5 2. originality/not cliché: 5/5 3. Grammar & all other English mistakes are fixed 5/5 4. abstraction draws me in/imagery is salivatory 5/5 5. Must keep my attention: 5/5
-
-
That's a great rubric to go by. Everything needed in a poem is fixated in it, so I don't see why that wouldn't work, unless we'd want to add something else. Also, I can donate points of any value under 10,000 if needed for this round and future rounds.
-
-
haha, me and Christina figured we'd donate 10,000 between us. we can raise it slightly for it to be even. so we each donate 4,ooo to the rounds in total.
-
-
Sounds good. Would you like me to donate it now or later?
-
-
later love. I'll contact you.
-
-
-
-
-
Then I also will do decimal points to be completely precise. I have spreadsheets so that I can lay all this out and then whomever has the highest out of 25 wins and so on. I find it the most fair and effective way of judging.
-
-
mmhm, i agree.
-
-
Then we'd just combine our results in the end and whomever really appears to win, that's the winner.
-
-
yes, I agree. We make a hell of a team.

-
-
Should I just give up or enter another..?
-
-
please try again.
-
-
Hm, not sure whether I should enter. =/ But if you ever want a super-brutal guest judge or anything, let me know.
-
-
mmhm. welcome aboard.
-
-
actually, i've decided to withdraw my entry cos i don't have the time for another rounds contest... but if you still want me as a judge, let me know cos that sounds a lot more fun
-
-
welcome aboard as a host, darling.
-
-
-
-
-
-
So ya didn't like it?
-
-
You were disrespectful to a judge, for whatever reason. And I will not tolerate it.
-
-
how did I miss this?
-
okay, I dont have the time to write you ladies a fresh write, I actually have plans this evening
Yes,
Can you believe it? Not with the man of my dreams, he lives in Ohio
Anyway, my submittal isn't in any contests-I wrote it for me.
That's about where I am in my writing.
Have fun ripping it to shreds, you have my blessing.
Love to you all,
jin -
