Gothic Tripping on the Fantastical...

Hello one and all. This is my first contest during my first year on All Poetry and I hope I get this right.

Gothic Tripping is a title ,and a poem I wrote, I have picked out for my very own book of poems which I do intend to get published some day. I was going through a bad marriage which resulted in some depressing poems based on my life and some dark poems that are Fictional. Therefore the title was born.


Contest Guideline
----------------------
For this contest I am asking up to 30 writers to submit poems, either 1 prewrite, 1 fresh write, or both (2 entries per person if possible), based on the FANTASY and FICTIONAL worlds, NOT reality itself. I am looking for Goblins, Elves, Wizards, Dragons, Demons, etc, etc... I would like for your genius and your imagination to be free, but remember the dark side, they have cookies...

I would like to breathe, live in, and feel the world you are creating. This WILL be anonymous, I want to know your imagination BEFORE I know you...



RULES
--------

No Erotica

No Dirty pretty

No sTicKy CapS

No Religion

Broken rules equal DQ's...
----------------------------------


Good Luck.

  • Rewards: Gold: 666, Silver: 333, Bronze: 99, Honorable mention: 3 people
  • Final notes:
    Thank you all for entering.

    Unfortunately not everyone followed the guidelines. No matter how great your writes were, fantasy is still fantasy. I received some personal and non-fiction instead.

    The next contest I'll host will be for reality.

    Congrats to the winners and enjoy your weekend.
