Rant.

I'm not entirely sure how else to describe this contest but this:

Rant (rant):
[n] a loud bombastic declamation expressed with strong emotion
[v] to talk in a noisy, excited, or declamatory manner

RANT.

Okay. Got that?

Good.

Teh Rulez:
1. No erotica.
2. ...err...
3. RANT!

Okay, go.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on August 14
  • Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 5 people
  • Final notes:
    All right.
    I know I normally comment on each entry, but with so many, I just got overwhelmed, so I'm sorry.
    Also, they wouldn't let me have enough trophies, but if you're on the Preliminary Finalists list and didn't get a trophy, I now give you an HM with a Somebody Else's Problem field (if you read Douglas Adams, you'll understand). Huzzah!
    I will say, though, that I'm probably not doing this kind of contest again. It hurts too much, seeing all of you hurting. But all of your entries were beautiful, and I truly thank you for them.
    I love you all.
    Yours in Christ,
    Emily (AllThatRemains)

    i would love to honor you with a fresh write,
    but i am brain dead, so i'll enter a prewrite.

    if i get over myself in less than 13 days,
    and you enable 2 writes, i'll enter a fresh write.

    if i get over myself in less than 13 days,
    and you don't enable 2 writes per poet,
    i'll submit a freshwrite and delete my prewrite from the contest.
