Quickie Contest - 2000 points for Gold

Will close whenever I feel like it, so get your pieces in quick! May close in as little as an hour.

Winner takes 2000 points, and still a hefty amount of points for silver and bronze.

The bar has been raised high with the first two entries "The Crying Game" and "blues this time" , so make it good.

  • Final notes:
    Christ this was difficult. I don't think I've ever had this many people in my finalists list. The quality of the entries was some of the best I've seen in a long time. And to think, you all entered in less than two hours! That says a lot about the talent of each and every one of you. Thank you, everyone.

      Nope. Sorry. lol. I noticed I was allowing prewrites and had to change it with a quickness. I wish that box wasn't auto-checked.

          lol I'm guilty of the endless "good job" comments, on occassion. Sometimes, I just lack all the necessary energy to say anything worthwhile. lol

            i usually just dont comment and piss people off in those situations. hahaha. but i feel pressured into moving pieces up if they have a million bajillion comments telling me the poem was the best ever. and i dont like second guessing myself.

              I see your point, though honestly, I never scroll down to read comments on pieces in my contests. I think I'm too lazy. lol

    The contest doesn't specify how many times we're allowed to enter.

    Or maybe it does and I'm going blind. I dunno.

    Anyway, I assume we're only allowed one entry, correct?

      The one-entry-only box is checked, but for some reason, it hasn't been showing up on the contest pages for me lately. But yeah, it's one only.
