we play to win. [contest!]

Tue Nov 17, 2009, 6:04 AM
WELL THEN. IT'S TIME FOR THE FIRST CONTEST I'VE EVER HELD EVER.
[tell me what i'm doing wrong.]

first, second and third place will all receive features from :iconcorina90:, :icononeofthose-rachels:, :iconsiluriformes:, :iconlosingmyfaith:, and myself. [:
first and second place will receive a little more love, and bigger font in my journal. XD
i don't have enough money to do a subscription or anything awesome. shoot for the top three spots, and you're betting on lots of pageviews. [: just write your best.

RULES.

i. this contest will be literature only. sorry to anyone who wanted to enter drawing-type art. i love you, but there just aren't enough of you interested. you may submit up to THREE PIECES. one or two is cool, three is tops, four is not cool, and five is just ridiculous.

ii. there is no limit to words, nor poetry/prose. i do ask, however, that you don't submit haiku and the sort. i simply don't enjoy them very much. you can if you want, but you'll probably lose. no offense. they're just so freaking short.

iii. a good rule for writing in the profanity sense, is keep it to radio standards. if you can't say it on air, don't say it in your writing. however, sometimes i swear like an angry, drunken sailor. i don't particularly mind profanity in your writing. just try not to have the f bomb every five seconds, kthnx?

iv. OBVIOUSLY I AM NOT A STICKLER FOR CAPITALIZATION. HOWEVER, PUNCTUATION AND GRAMMAR ARE SUPERAWESOME. only exception here is in poetry, where i don't mind if you leave off lines without periods and commas and the like. ... i feel like i just broke one of my own rules for some reason. but i don't know what it is, so moving on.

v. just note me with the link. [:

vi. NOW. THE PROMPT, FINALLY. write something that has two sides to it. yin and yang, hot and cold, love and hate, partly sunny or cloudy? i don't care. but there has to be an opposing, or cooperative force. you can be as specific or as vague as you so choose. you can write about one or both sides. just make sure that there are two.

vii. the deadline will be december 17th, 2009.

viii. any questions, comments below. [:

i wanna say something poetic
like i'm a bouquet of sunflowers and wishes and hope
that i dance in your windowpanes
and my heart is a thousand grappling hooks
latching onto the top floor of a building with you inside.

i'm only a posing for photographs
my smile a little too wide
and my legs too white
and my eyes a little too blue.

i'd like to say no worries
i'll swim the english channel with you
and we'll swallow sorrow-water
tears in our lungs
and blood everywhere but our lips.

but i'm just me, just meredith.
i am not a heart of ink
i am not a song of love
i am flesh and bone and worries and wishes
and i am happy.
