Hey guys, I'm about to leave for class so I am going to make this quick. You can enter up to 3 prewrites. I'm not sure when this contest is ending... Uhm.. Any subject. Tell your friends? No rules.
Also, I would love to make this a rounds contest. So if anyone who enters could write a comment on the contest and tell me if it should be rounds or shouldn't. That would be helpful.
I will comment every write.
Go CRAZY ;] ♥

How many rounds and what kind?
-
I am never quite sure what a "Rounds" competition is in "Allpoetry" parlance. It seems like a watered down version of an
Accumulator - which I did once try to run but which was spoiled by certain people removing their poems prematurely.
However I do intend one day to try again! -
A round contest could be fun
But you'd have to make sure everyone was willing to continue through and such. -
I would like wouldn't mind a rounds contest. Just let me know how you would do it.
-
ive never been in a rounds contest...id need more info...
-
I think a round contest would be funn...you should do it...if you want
-
Wow, lots of reading ahead of you! Good luck to everyone!
-
round contests would be fun but i think before I'd enter I'd prefer knowing what the others rounds would be about for exmple I hate being forced to write on a prompt maybe ma muse wont agree ...so rounds are fun but when we know what the other rounds will hold
-
Rounds? Sure, why not?
-
I am not too fond of rounds contests
-
wouldnt mind rounds contest
-
rounds
er i dont know what a rounds thing is -
a round contest is fine with me, it just depends if there are going to be prompts in the next ones, am not sure if I will have enough time to participate...
-
totally go for rounds haha
-
how many rounds? cause it sounds interesting
-
i personally dont like rounds contests, especiallly if you enter another contest that has rounds. it gets to hectic
-
non-rounds.
-
I really aren't that into rounds, especially if I do not know what the rounds will be about and sometimes it is hard to remember you are in a round, especially if you somehow end up in more than one
-
if you do a round contest then make it just out of these poets that entered, say like with this one you told them to submit 3 poems, do the same poets in the next round but only submit 2 poems and etc. reward winners of each round and then an over all winner when all the rounds win. just an idea because if all your rounds are like this then you will have way too many poems to judge
-
A rounds contest would be very nice. <3
-
Not rounds/accumulators .... you could find yourself stressed and busy with coursework from your classes, and especially if you leave the contests open to so many entries like with this one, you could find 1) that it becomes a real chore and you don't enjoy them, or 2) that you're snowed under with college work, and might not be able to give it the commitment needed to read, comment and judge everything. I think it's easier and generally better just to do individual contests with a good set theme, with a lower number of entries, which the contest-host can use to sharpen their critiquing and commenting skills, as well as challenging those who enter. Hope you have fun and enjoy reading
-
I am scared to do rounds !!! lol i just ... love getting my emotions out in poetry and ... i like knowing if they are good to other people...
-
rounds!
-
not sure of the round idea
tell me more -
Whatever. Doesn't matter to me.

RE Rounds:
You could choose 1 in 4 or 1 in 10 (whatever is managable for you) and put them in the "finalists" of this contest and then invite them back for the next round (perhaps mention this in your "judge's final note"- tell people to see for them selves if they've qualified for round 2) And in round two do the same- and depending how many poets you "cull" each time you could do three or four or "whatever" rounds- whittling down the contestant to a final round...
I see you have about 400 entries here you could spin it out as long as you like or for all the points you've got to spare! -
I don't fully understand the concept of "rounds" but it sounds cool, so I'm voting for it.
-
I would love rounds...but it wouldn't let me place three poems in...you might have changed that because of the amount of entry's I see..
-
it says we can enter up to 3 prewrites, but the settings only allow 1. please fix, thanks!
-
well that would all depend on how many rounds you wanted to make it and what kind of rounds they are
-
It all depends on how many, who can enter, and ect. So my vote-thing is maybe.....
