(idea kind of stolen from adoles but changed up a bit)
so i want you to write me a letter.
i think it goes without saying that there should be NO RHYMING involved. (:
it should start with "dear aanika," or "to aanika," or "aanika," or whatever
and it should end with "love *yourname*" or "from *yourname*" etc.
-
EITHER:
1. the letter can actually be TO me (this requires that you've either read my poetry, had a conversation with me, or know me pretty well) and you can discuss things like how you feel about me, how i fit into your life, or anything like that which actually relates to me
OR
2. the letter can be about you, but still addressed to me. you can tell me anything you want that's going on in your life.
-
here's the twist:
there will be a gold, silver, and bronze trophy-winner, as well as five hm's.
for each of you eight, i will write you a letter in response to the one you've entered in this contest. i haven't decided yet if i'll actually post them as poems or personal-message them to you, but either way, you'll get a response to your letter.
for this reason, it'd really help me if you put your username in your author's notes, spaced out like this:
a a n i k a
-
for either option, the letter must be poetic.
aka, use imagery and metaphors and stuff.
now make me feel, okay?

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on July 5
- Rewards: Gold: 999, Silver: 666, Bronze: 333, Honorable mention: 5 people
- Final notes: oh god. this was the best contest i've ever held. every single entry took my breath away and narrowing it down to eight was impossible. even eighteen was really hard. but now i have eighteen finalists who will all be receiving a letter back from me. i'll be messaging all eighteen of you eventually for some extra info to put into your letters. i can't guarantee when each letter will be finished as i'm not going in any specific order, but just know that all 18 of you will receive replies (and possibly some of the people who didn't make the finalists).
the top three letters are in order as well as the five hm's but the rest aren't.
you guys astound me. you're beautiful. you're the reason i'm still here.
<3

i think that shows something.
-
-
Sounds awesome!

-
-
haha, alright, i'll bite.
-
-
apologies for semi-stealing your contest idea
-
-
psst, no thang but a chicken wang!
-
-
-
this is such an awesome idea. bookmarked.
-
-
i lovelovelove your entry
-
-
i'll come back to this.
-
i just wrote a letter, but it is extremely angry.
i think it is just going to scare people.
and i don't think it's something that you'd want to read for this.
but uh, if i can find an ounce of emotion that isn't hateful...i'll write something for this.
cuz i certainly dont hate you! haha. -
-
lol, i ended up reading it anyways,
and DAMN it's powerful.
you amaze me
and i hope you enter. -
-
lol thanks.
i think people are mad scared to comment it though, because, well, the relationship has been rather public on AP. Ugh, kinda sad that the drama is brought on a poetry website.
Mental note: never show the boyfriend AP.
But honestly, this guy that I like gave me another chance. And I do think there's happiness in my heart now - even just a flicker.
but i'll see if i can muster up something legitimate.
-
-
-
oooh i'm excited for this and actually need to somewhat vent about my current dilemma. baha
you'll be seeing an entry from me for sureee. (:

-
i've seen your entry.
and i love it.

I'll try to write something for this
<3 -
-
ooh yay !
<3 -
-
Is it okay if my letter ends up being a sort of mix of the two options? I've been working on writing something and it seems to have fallen in that direction.
<3 -
-
of course! <3

-
I hope you like my poem, ha!
-
Thanks for the HM.

"but just know that all 18 of you will receive replies (and possibly some of the people who didn't make the finalists)."
Let's not invent high hopes like that for the proletarians! -
oh, wow. thankyou for the bronze. :]
