Here is a chance for you to be put on my favorites list and also to be read now for me to leave a comment. Even once on my list, it doesn't necessarily mean that I will read what you have written. Not because I'm trying to be rude or anything like that, I usually am busy doing other things. That's why I have contests like these every so often so I can comment.
The top three will be added to my favorites list!
Now, if by chance you are already on my favorites list, then there will be a sister contest especially for you.
The following rules apply to both contest; you can enter up to five works no matter style or subject and can only enter the proper contest (which you can go and view my favorites list to see which contest is for you).
If you're on my favorites List then go here for your contest:
http://allpoetry.com/contest/show/2450149
NOTE: Please be sure to look at the right list. There should be less than 60 people on my favorites. The other list is who has me on their favorites list which is over 100. Go by the double digit list and not the triple digit list to find out which contest to enter. Thanks for giving me the chance to clarify
UPDATED NOTE (to the one above): Recently, AP has done some changes while I posted this contest (I think it's because they love to see me update things as I am known as a procrastinator, but not at this)! So my 58 on my faves list is now 116 and 168 have me on their list, so don't get confused which list to use. Now there is a thing called Mutual Friends and I have 81 (also does not effect this contest).
Note of Understanding: If your entry wins a prize, I expect you to leave that entry in the contest to represent the awarded prize. I understand if you wish to take your other entries out and I have no problem with that. It just burns me up when someone takes the hardware and run from a contest. I think it shows disrespect to the host and to yourself for not liking the entry that won it in the first place if you have to delete it from the contest. If by chance, you don't want your poem to win, please don't enter.
PS: Five HMs have been added to this contest and those selected will also be added to my favorites list. I decided to do this for there are so many entries and gives a chance to add more people. I never expected such a big turnout.
This one has been extended to 5 July 2009! Once it's closed, it may be closed for several weeks until I can comment on every single entry. Then it will be judged.
Updated as of 2/25 August 2009:
Just Information for you to know where the contest stands and that I have not forgot that this contest is closed for judging. It had 285 entries and I want to be fair to all who took the time to put there work in here. This was a contest for me and not the individual as I wanted to see who I wanted to put on my "Faves List" and I thank you to the remaining people who are still in here!
73 15 54 0 (Well, that didn't work as it jumbled the poems to different places; update 25 August 2009) There were 97 unread and now 142 unread, I just don't get it, but will be back.
24 27 33 13
The above numbers represent the number of poems (in each column) that I have to comment on. Even though it's a small number, it will still take time. Then I will go through all the entries submitted by every person and pick the favorite (not necessarily their best one) to me and put it in the preliminaries (if you only have one, then that one makes it-lol). Then I will go through the Preliminaries and reduse it in half, but not eliminating from the list, just rearranging the order until the top half is complete. I will do the same until I get to the top eight and then just arrange the top three leaving the other five in no particular order. The number of poems were 285 but now read only 274 entries. It's hard to say if I got to comment on the entries that someone removed, but however, I do my contests fairly and won't be rushed. If the poem had to be removed for another contest or for your patience was growing thin, I can't help those circumstances. Will update the numbers periodically, until they become zero.

DUDE I cant believe this!!! I wanna be on ur favys!!
-
-
HAH I changed my pic and username...you have no idea who I am now! =[
-
-
No matter if you looked like a fairy tale princess or King Kong, it has no relevance on the contest. Neither does a screen name, even if I like one name better than another, it won't influence me one way or another. As long as you're happy with your changes, that's what matters. Look forward to your entries
Ted E
-
-
I went to look at your favs,Dang Theodore!
Can't not believe you did not have me on your favs!
lol
-
-
See, now you can earn it by things you have already written. There's no advantage of being on my faves anyway, but there are many I should have already added but never have. I still have to type up my wives name list and have to add 5 or 6 honorary wives to it before I post the new list. They were accumulated during the dormancy of my Authors Page for the four months. Procrastination is one of my middle names...should be the last name(lol)Ted E
-
-
Yep 'Procrastinator Ted' Is going to be your new name! lol
You are wayyyyy behind..You need to get busy!!
-
-
I entered three,Hopefully you'll enjoy them.
-
-
Well, you have the option to enter five, probably will only let this contest open for two weeks. It will take about four weeks to probably comment and judge as it already has over 100 entries. More the merrier! I am sure I will enjoy them
-
-
I'm always behind...sometimes even called one(lol)!
-
-
Sorry that made me giggle a bit.
If it takes you that long to add someone to your favs,or to make a list for your wives,I don't want to even imagine how long it's going to take you to judge this contest! Might as well add to the Title of this
"I'm going to take my sweet time judging,So be prepared" Just teasing you!
-
-
Those who know me know that's implied, for those who don't will soon find out(lol)
-
-
Of course they will.
-
-
They will have to for there is no choice on that one

hey
This is awesome thank you for making the contest eek im a little nervous i hope i make a good impression -
-
You're very welcome. There's no need to be nervous and I'm sure you willTed E
-
-
Looks like you have a lot of commenting to do
-
-
Since it turns out that I got yesterday off from work, I did some heavy commenting. That won't be the case today since I will be going to work. However, will try to slide a few comments on some entries in this one. I have decided when the contest date expires, that will be the end date. I never dreamed of having this many entries. I figured fifty tops, boy was I ever wrong. I almost have four times that amount and figure I will by the contest closes (if not more). That is one thing, I will comment on every piece before I judge a contest. A friend of mine sent me your face pic on my facebook and I told her I knew someone at AP with the same pic(lol). Eventually, I'm going to have to write about that and post it
-
-
My face pic is probably everywhere.. one of my friends sent it to me, and I fell in love with it! Go ahead and enter my contest too, it would be fun Whenever you let people do prewrites, then you should expect a TON of entries Have fun dear!
-
-
Too late, I already put one or two entries in your contest. Whatever was the max, I did(lol). Figured I should torture you with my work since you want punishment
-
-
oh yes, punishment *sigh* I love punishment... The good kind anyway... Torture is also good lol
-
-
-
-
oh oh oh hey! Does this mean I am on your faves?
-
-
-
-
-
-

I tried my best to get to at least one of everyone's in this contest, but I have missed the mark. The next time I will have ample time to comment will probably be this Sunday. I'm sure my time will be limited for the rest of the week, but will try to squeeze in one to six entries until my next full day off from work. I will comment on every entry in this contest even if it takes days (or a week or two, hopefully not) when it closes. This contest will not have an extension as the sister contest may have one. That's to allow the people on my faves more time since some have not been on in awhile and may not know these contests exists. If you want on my faves, better watch the closing date for this contest closelyTed E
-
Ok TED.. Where ya at ?
Stay off of face book! lol
get on over here and get your contests judged..Stop procrastinating!!
-
-
I wasn't at "facebook" either and trust me I have been having withdrawals and missed on "property" opportunities. Going to try to spend time at both, ohhhhhhh yeaaaaaaaaah!
