HalcyonSpirit Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 Nice, Doulifée. I'll go through it sometime soon and see if there's anything missing. Only a few more hours until the official voting period ends, people! (Remember, we're running on UTC time now.) I want to see some more votes!

HalcyonSpirit Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 Well, I've been busy for the past 12 hours, so I decided to just wait and see whether we would be getting more than just votes from participants and myself. Alas, this was not the case. In any event... THE RESULTS ARE IN! 1st Place: Media by M W Runner-Up: Soon by SoulinEther Here's the vote spread: Media by M W: 8 Soon by SoulinEther: 7 The Name by Random Hajile: 6 Electronic Transaction by TheHands: 6 Congratulations to everyone, and especially to M W and SoulinEther! There weren't very many entries for this round, but I think the quality was just as good as ever. Incidentally, if there is anyone else who wants to chime in about my proposed changes to the rules, now would be the time. I want to have an answer concerning it before the next competition starts.

Doulifée Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 badge will come soon. The page code work, except the freeform. Should i add them under freeform or under their particular category? (check the new page to see how that work) I'll handle picture and color later (right now it's the default ocremoved CSS) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulinEther Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Sweet, the badge has come. (i'm all excited) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulinEther Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Double-posting, but I got a question: what do I do if I have an idea for something I'd like to write (now) for the next round, but we're in between rounds? Can I write it now and still use it in the next round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalcyonSpirit Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 You can have the idea now. You can develop the idea now. Develop the idea all you want right now! You can write down ideas and such, and you can keep thinking about it all you want; the rules don't govern those. What you can't do is start to actually write the piece until the competition starts.

Alright. Excellent. Now... to write down the idea without writing it actually down? There's my challenge lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalcyonSpirit Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 Happy New Year 2009! The January Freeform competition has begun. I'm hoping to see quite a few submissions this time around.

SoulinEther Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Bumping to say I am now advertising for this competition in my signature. I'll probably add a simple link at some point too. for those who can't stand to watch an animated gif. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalcyonSpirit Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 That's... sorta disturbing... I like it! But did you need to use the font that you did? Was that intentional? It might just be me, but the larger the type gets, the harder it is for me to read it. In other news, I was actually contemplating putting together some sigs for the competition, so this is a good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I used it intentionally so there would only be black and white, which keeps the file size low (~8KB lol) Plus... I don't know, it just ... meh. Strikes me as somewhat vintage. It can be changed, of course. And I have started on my submission for this round. It will be another poem, except it'll have multiple parts... sorta.

Rophell Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 The Solo Cold steel. Thats what got Murphy, in the end. Multiple stab wounds to the face, ribs, stomach, brought about in a cold desert in cold blood by a bunch of disillusioned little men. It could have been a bullet that took him out...but he was just too damn good of a man to die a humane death.Cold steel... is what I now hold at my lips. A circular, metal mouthpiece, designed to channel vibrations... ...vibrations were how it started. I wish I could blame them instead of myself. Myself... god, if I had posessed the slightest bit of foresight, this would never have happened. The tanks at the fore of the convoy would never have been bombed, later to be beset upon by the enemy... I breathe... ...I don't deserve it. Murphy, now theres a man who deserves it. Murphy didn't hesitate when thos damned rpg's came tearing after us. Murphy didn't play dead when every last of his comrades were ripped apart by the onslaught of lead that followed. He fought til his gun clicked dry then fought some more, till the AK swung like a baseball bat caught him in the jaw, while I watched through half closed eyes, waiting for my chance to scramble like a dirty peice of shit to the nearest vehicle... My throat is on fire. How can they expect me to do this? How can those fuckers expect me to play taps at the funeral that should have been my own?!? I was the ranking officer, his life was my responsibility, and I was a coward!!! The time comes for me to play, the torrent of tears running down my face driving on unchecked, and I know that I cannot produce even a single tone. No matter, because the brass instrument is already flying past the flagpole, my breath being used instead to scream louder than I had ever before... The time comes for me to play, the torrent of tears running down my face driving on unchecked, and I know just how to apologise to Murphy, as he had apologised to me and our team on the video sent to CNN. I play, and the tone pierces even my own heart. An eternity and a half later, I finish. Murphy...I'm sorry. So I saw a link to this in someones sig and decided to give it a try... hopefully more people will enter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Sounds Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Well, I'm working on a sequel to a previous entry I submitted. It should still work as a standalone piece, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halcyon, you took a class taught by Nikki Giovanni? Nice! Hm, a sequel. I haven't been around here all that long, but is that a first? Sounds exciting still. And my poem hasn't come along much beyond my mind and what's on my blackberry lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalcyonSpirit Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 Halcyon, you took a class taught by Nikki Giovanni? Nice! Actually, I was planning on taking that class. Unfortunately, she being Nikki Giovanni, the class filled up really quickly. Not even my Senior status ensured a seat for me. I didn't get in. Oh well...
