3) Be creative. The more creativity the better. (Isn't that what poetry is about?)
4) Basic skills like spelling, grammar, and punctuation are very important.
--If you write texting talk (like "u" or "omg") or other immature and lazy ways of speech, I will completely ignore your piece.
5) DoN'T mOleSt THe shIFt KEy.
6) Finally, write out your username in your author's notes in spaces, like this:

You've got a bloody nice list of songs there.
'--If you write texting talk (like "u" or "omg") or other immature and lazy ways of speech, I will completely ignore your piece.'
'immature and lazy ways of speech' - Darn good way to put it. Nice contest. -
RRGHH!
I can't pick! -
-
...sorry...?
haha. maybe that's a good sign that you can't pick.
-
-
In case you're curious... Enjoy The Silence is a Lacuna Coil cover of a Depeche Mode song. And it's fucking amazing. Blows the original out of the water.
-
-
Ah yes, that's right!
I know. The cover is. ugh. SOOOO much better than the original. There are so many covers of it, too, and Lacuna Coil's version just absolutely murders every single one of them.
-
-
I didn't even see the part saying any Paramore song... *gasp* I'm ashamed lol. We have almost the same songs on our Ipods.
P.S. Paramore's new album is almost out! "Brand New Eyes" Can't wait! -

-
-
Yep! ^_^ In fact, I think I've got that song on my list anyway. You can do a piece on that if you'd like.

Yeah, sorry--I'm not accepting prewrites. Lots of people have song prompts already, but I wanted to make this contest..idk..fresh? whatev.
-
-
Alright.
After listening to three quarters of these songs again, I'm going to have to dibs "Eclipsed" by Evans Blue. -
-
That's fine. haha. And everyone can do any song they want--I'm not eliminating them or something.
I bet you had fun listening to all of those songs.
-
-
