`Endless Night Dark Poetry Contest [13+] Haitus. Darkness is always Endless. |
Hallo Spooky, Cute & staiNed ! I will be reviewing your work "`Endless Night Dark Poetry Contest" for "Game of Thrones" Content: Created on October 24th, 2006, this is a contest that invites writers to submit their best dark and gothic poetry. Pluses: Aww, it appears there was a welcoming image there at one time, and I'm curious to know exactly what it was; as it had to be fitting enough for the theme of this activity. Your intro is funny and cute despite it being for such a grim theme! "Cuddle, cuddle"? Is this romance...but then again, there could be romantic gothic and dark poetry, can't there? Hah! The rules are clear and concise. The contest runs monthly and deadline is given for last day of submission. All items had to be newly written for the contest specifically and rated 'E' for the forum though ratings for the items themselves can be anything (okay, had me concerned there for a bit as I wondered if you'd have any entries at all if everything was stuck at 'E'). You provide different prompts that the writers have to pick from - only one prompt to pick. But here's the catch! You can enter three times per round, but each entry has to make use of a different prompt. Nice! However, just because you toss in three entries means you win three times. Only one win per person. Any form of poetry is acceptable as long as you specify what kind of form it is in the item. The prizes were quite generous for back then, which is why I'm sure you had a lot of participants since it went up to Round 40! Donations were also welcome to keep the activity running, and I'm not sure if I submitted anything (seeing as I still suck at poetry), but I'm glad to see I was a part of the donating team! Anything to keep the activity going...until you had to leave the site for a while. Thanks for your contribution to the Writing.com community with this activity! Not sure if you'd want to revitalize it again, but I'm sure there would be some poets who will love to be a part of it.
