Some of my favorites have been invited
for the first time,
some for the second time.
I can definitely change prompts, so just ask me if you'd like a change of prompt.
I have put some "restrictions"/optional ideas for some of you
just for fun/a challenge,
but you can break them if you're feeling a little genius/rebellious.
!
You know I like what you do,
so do it for me.

And this is why only one of us will survive"

Yeah, I know Eminem lyrics are a little random,

and neither do I.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on November 13
- Rewards: Gold: 1234, Silver: 123, Bronze: 123, Honorable mention: 5 people
- Final notes: Have you ever looked at the entries in a contest and said, "Aw, shucks"?
The Bronze was the hardest trophy to decide on; after rereading entries and talking to my co-judge, kiwigirljacks (who should have entered, but ended up co-judging ), I can safely say
all the honorable mentions were worth of Bronze.
I want to make another contest similar to this; I know you probably all write for fun and DON'T care about trophies...
so enter the next one you're invited to, PLEASE.
Thanks for playing
and read the Gold winner (chewing bottles)
Jessica

Woot!!!! Cool

You don't hate me for the prompt?
LMAO, I was looking at pics of Scarlett Johansson
and you've never done one on her.
Or Adriana Lima.
Or The Matrix.
You know, I've been bloody nice to you, prompt-wise...
LMFAO!
-
-
I love the prompts!!!!
Pffttt please!!! You've been difficult!!!
LMAO -
-
!
Even your own prompt?
Difficult, with you? No way!!
As I recall...only 2 poems with Eva Longoria.
Just ask Marty how evil I can be.
LoL -
-
Oh CRAP!!! I just typed a huge message reply to you and lost it!!
anywho... lol.. ok.. I'll give ya that
-
-
Shit cakes!! Did you try pressing 'back'?
That sucks.
Now I'll get a condensed milk version...LoL.
Okay, so I'll take it you will be entering, scarlett and all.
-
-
Tried that!! Grr... not too condensed milk.. but yeah a bit..
btw I LOVE condensed milk
Yep, I will definitely be entering
-
-
Condensed milk...isn't that for baking?
LMAO
Nobody drinks it ALONE, right???
Okay then!!!
-
-
Sure! Make russian fudge with it.. mmm mmm mmm
But heck yes!! A teaspoon of condensed milk is sugary goodness
Plus if you put it in the freezer it doesn't go rock hard.. just kinda like toffee.. mmm mmm mmm
-
-
UMMY-YAY!
Oh...ig-pay atin-Lay alert.
Heh.
Russian fudge...okay, you totally started this food convo, not me.
!
I like toffee!!!!!!!!! -
-
I totally did start this one!!
hehe
Toffee = JOY!!!!
Russian fudge = EUPHORIA!!!
-
-
LMAO!!!
So many exclamation marks, I had to continue them.
So, Russian fudge is superior than normal American fudge?
-
-
!!!!
Hell yeah.. if it's made by scratch and not mass produced.. my mum used to make it all the time.. OMG it's sooooo good...
It's just butter and condensed milk and golden syrup.. I think lol -
-
*drowned in solidified drool, there was so much of it*
-
-
*drools too cause it's sooooo sabroso*
Pahahahaha -
-
Did Pink pass on the Spanish?
I did teach her a few phrases...I got 'sabroso' from Meg in the summer.
!
-
-
Yeppers... Just thought I'd throw it in there
-
-
It's a kick-ass word.!
And...you like lechoso condensed milk.
Did she tell you about that 'lechoso' as well?
-

Slythern? My dear, out of sheer perversity I always cheer for the silver and green!
-
-
HAHAHA!
Silver and green is an awesome color combination...
Although I'd have to be in Gryffindor.
-
-
Like I said - I'm perverse.
-
-
Ditto, ditto...
Hmm, how do you say 'ditto 'in French? -
-
In French you can use the Latin word "idem", but I believe they also say "dito".
-
-
Really!!!
It's 'idem' in Spanish (but with the accent guy on the 'i').
'dito'<--pronounced the non-English way I take it
-
-
If you know to whom you have given which prompt, Jess, why are you bothering to make the contest anonymous?
-
-
Dude, I'm not a gold member.
-
-
Um... what am I missing here?
-
-
Silver members don't get to make non-anonymous contests.
Doesn't matter, I already know who everyone is...like you pointed out.
-
-
<- *light dawns* DUH
-
-
LoL
Wish I was a gold member. :/
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Yay! I love such contests Thanks for the invite, I'll have to think of something...
-
-
Is it going to be hard?
Well, I know it's gonna be good.
-
-
good yes. Hard... writing poetry up to my own standards can be hard sometimes But I'll have to. I love my prompt!!
-
-
I like your prompt too.
It's musical and creepy.
-
-
-
-
question: we can write in any style we prefer? i think i LOVE my prompt Thank you for inviting me.
Oh, and condensed milk is like the best thing ever to come in a can
-
-
Oh hell yeah
I like anything you do... Any style, yes!!!
I'm quite sure you're not into overpunctuated d.i.r.t.y. [pre]tty crap, so yessss to anything you have in mind!!! HUZZAH!
LMAO at your enthusiasm for condensed milk...
never had it myself.
-
-
i swear, if you taste it your eyeballs will spin in their sockets! it's VERY sweet, so don't go overboard...you'll be bouncing off the walls and probably bounce right over here to the States! Try making fudge with it...Damn it, now I want some fudge and I haven't even had my first cup of java yet!
-
-
And I thought milk was just milk...!
I am SO putting that ditty about milk (so passionate there Lane) on my AP Family page...
-
-
-
-
I love it when I get prophetic!
-
-
ME TOO, ME TOO
-
-
Atlantic and I have the same phrase...
was that intentional?
Cool.
LMAO

-
OH okay
-
-
-
-

-
-
That's one quirky way to put it.
And because of you, I'm deleting my old shit poems.
-
-

I guarantee you mine are way worse
i used to be a horrible rhyme junkie

-
YOU, a rhyme junkie?
I don't believe it, gimme proof.
I've been meaning to delete at least a 100 poems...
It makes me cringe to death, LoL. -
-

-
-
-
-
-
-

-
-

Hey thanks for Cassandra, I learnt a new story about Troy
-
-
I thought you new everything about mythology!
-
-
the words are prompts, right? Meaning, i can use loose interpretations of them, correct?.
-
-
"minor/indirect incorporations of all 3 prompts is fine"
Yeah, that's fine.!
... did you already write something and it just happens to fit the contest?
-
-
