I'm starting this out with a big THANK YOU!!! to everyone who entered. I'm happy to see how many people turned out fun to read poetry for our first ever official contest.
kureejiieshi should be proud of his efforts with the poetry. He had some stiff competition to go up against but it was his epic retelling of The Raven that won this contest (I actually debated on this because of how heavily the final verse borrows from The Raven... but all the other verses were much more original and kept the meter). I was tempted to give the award to Wanderer12 for his Cowboy Bebop haiku because I'm a big fan of the form and the show (Spike is a softy... heh) but it just didn't stand up compared to kureejiieshi's epic.
After being a member for a year and a half he finally broke his silence with some fun poetry. I hope he sticks around and joins in with some of the threads we have around here.
We have a new contest to keep people busy. For this one I'm looking for an illustration of some sort that features JunkieJoe, Schultz, Rei and myself. This can be done as hand drawn art, photoshopped images, screen captures or any other static image that will display on our monitors. Judging will be based on creativity as well as quality of execution (creativity is worth more if things get close). Any illustration containing sexual themes will be deleted but that's about the only restriction I'm placing here.
The winner will have their choice from a wide range of cool things that are even better than the figures that were the prize for the poetry contest (I was informed that they were a lame prize by one forum member). The deadline for entries is 2pm EST on January 7th. All entries must be posted in this thread. I'm looking forward to seeing what people have to come up with... you are welcome to enter more than once but entries are limited to once per person per day.
