I came up with the idea of creating a contest for each major category posted here on allpoetry. I have decided to start with love, as it's coming up to Valentines Day and I feel quite romantic.
The Rules::
+ Enter as many times as you like (100 if want!)
+ Prewrites allowed and encouraged
+ Swearing/erotica etc is allowed, as long as you label entries correctly
+ Less than 50 lines preferably, but this isn't a rule
+ Tell your friends.
Points/trophies will go up! I imagine they will both go up quite a bit.
Oh and I'm hoping to get at least 200, but more is perfectly acceptable.
Good luck all.
~ Stef ~
Other categories I'll be covering:
Dark
Abuse
Metaphor/Abstract
Personal
Other
Suggestions, please leave them here.
Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on March 8, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Honorable mention: 10 people
- Final notes:
Thanks everyone for the patience in the judging. I had a bad back which slowed the judging down and then have been in rounds contests, but it's all cool now as I have been helped by M a r l u x i a (Adam).
I am going to continue on this series so you all can enter your prewrites there too!
So yeah, keep an eye out everyone. Will probably post a link on here, but just keep a check up, next time wont take so long!
M a r l u x i a will be helping me in all of these, which is great. So thank you very much Adam, it's a pleasure bro!
Well done to the winners, hope you enjoyed the contest. I commented on all, or Adam did, however small! We are kind like that.
Well done again and look forward to the next installment!

Good luck with this, judging high entry number contests can be a nightmare. Last one I did had only about 40 or so, which isn't hugely high, but one of the entries was 450 lines long lol.
I think I have already entered most of my love stuff in other contest you have held, so I might have to write fresh for this.
Excellent contest and excellent dedication. -
Hey, you and me both. Good luck with your contest! I think I'll enter a write or two.
