Poet Laureate Competition for October.

[Mal]

With the big shake up in the Co9, this is starting a little late. So, unless there are objections, I'll open up submissions until October 26th, at which point we'll vote on the entires.

Agreed?

[Duckyian Empire]

Agreed!

Is there any specific topic to write the poems?

[Aersoldorf]

Awesome, and I'm with Ducky - are there any guidelines?

[Mal]

There are no hard rules.... I don't believe creativity should have hard rules attached to it.... Moreover, poetry is one of the ultimate forms of self expression, thus I think that "do's and don'ts" just have a chilling effect on the creative process.

The only guidelines are that the entry should be focused some facet of what we do here in XKI, whether it's RPing, TITO, Recruiting, etc....

Also on a personal note: I'm back to work so I won't be as distracted as I was and I will be back to logging in daily.

Last, this contest is going to be subject to a popular vote. I am a great movie critic but the nuanced world of poetry, which I actually love, is something that I am not qualified to judge alone.

On the 26th, I'll close submissions and put up a poll so that everyone may vote. I'll leave the voting open for 5 dys. When the poll locks, the person with the most votes wins.

[Duckyian Empire]

Thank you for the guidelines.

[Benevolent Thomas]

Oh damn I forgot to enter again this time... There will always be another one I guess...

[Duckyian Empire]

Oh well...

[Witchcraft and Sorcery]

GOD DANGIT I should check this board more often. I could whip up something quickly... should I? I don't think I could in my current state. Dangit... well, there's always next time.

One of the many perks of being a Cubs fan.

[Duckyian Empire]

What's a Cubs fan?

That's fine. Real life > NS/XKI.

[Aersoldorf]

He hasn't posted the poll yet so you do still have time I guess. I wrote mine in about 30 minutes during lunch today, although I had been running ideas through my head for a solid week before it came to me
