-
-
haha, thank you for pointing that out, it was past midnight when I started this and I was out of wack, lol...at first I forgot to add Pink Floyd...I about smacked myself for that
-
-
Thank you for commenting on my poem "Innocence".
Great contest!
-Bella
-
can we just use one of the band's song titles for option number one? if not just dq my poem..
-
-
Well...it says write about the band or choose on of their songs...so I think that your poem should be fine, lol
-
-
How do you put the option in the authors notes if it is a prewrite?
-
-
Go to the poem you want to put it in, then on the right hand side there will be a link that says edit, click on it, then scroll down...it will look just as if you were writing the poem but the background will be different. Just find your author's box, and put the option in it.
-
-
Ah, and another contest ends... as I expected, CoffeeAngel did well! First place, in fact!
Congrats to all the winners! ^__^b -
