First part of this competition, poetry, shall be for a haiku. While I'd love to give everyone free reign and see what interesting stuff we'd get, I can't. Instead I have to give some limits to it'll be much easier to judge. So the specifics for the haiku competition is that it must be about either detention OR Harry Potter. You can submit both, if you like. If I have enough entries for each we'll have a contest for both types. When we finish this I may have the specification for the normal poem and later maybe a story. Due date for all of the Haikus shall be...October 25th. This should give you time to do this and enter the dolling competition. So write us some Haiku! All entrees should be PMd and/or e-mailed to me. My e-mail is acidicthoughts@yahoo.com The topic of the entry MUST be Haiku - (Harry Potter or Detention) According to what you're writing about. Thank you. *!~Sevens~!* |

A quick Question: Do haikus have a particular rythm (eg 1st line = 3 sllabyles ect) Or is the rythm optional? |

Haikus must contain 17 syllables in all. First line must have 5, second must have 7, and the third must have 5. If it's anything more or less than that, it's not a Haiku. I'm giving everyone a long time since it's kind of hard to think of something with the correct amount of syllables. And example: This is a Haiku It is not too long at all That was a Haiku >.> It sucks, I know. But you get the gist, eh? |

You can enter two. One for the Detention one and one for the Harry Potter one. Sorry but we have to have limits. ^^ |

Hmmm, I've realised I am rubbish at Haikus. Only entering two won't help me to win. But doesn't matter, I'll enter anyway. |

*bows to Sevens* I told you you were wise! hmm, I've not quite made a haiku, just yet, but I've been having fun with a load of rubbish little rhymes, maybe we could make a thread for the reject haikus/ryhmes that were never submitted? Just for the fun of it. Freddy x |

I know this is a double post. But due to the fact that I've only gotten one entry for the Haiku contest, I am extending it to November 11th. This should give enough time to write a haiku. But I'm hoping that there are enough entries for a decent contest by then, or I'll have to claim the only entry the winner by default. Which I don't want to do. Because I know we're a creative bunch. And the writing competition will be held sometime in December or January, whichever is more convenient for our contestants who want to enter and this give enough time for me to get two people other than myself who are sworn to secrecy on the story entries and who will be in charge of proof reading the stories. I'll decide by then whether or not I'll let these people participate also, but it's preferable that people who do not wish to participate in the writing competition voluntter. However, I could have more than one, maybe two competitions and allow four people to volunteer and each may only participate in the part they're not judging for. I'm hoping to get input on this. Because since this -is- the first ever detention olympics, I'd like for everyone to take part, even if it is by helping me decide what to do for each competition. Thank you, Sroo, Detentionee Formerly Known as Sevens XD XD |

Three more days to get your entries for the Haiku competition in! ^^ Then I'll start work on the voting and also the things required in the story competition. So if you want to enter a Haiku, now's the time. ^^ Only one Haiku per customer and as Freddy stated, we'll be having a thread later for all the Haiku's you liked but didn't think were contest worthy. So no worries, the public of this thread will see your handywork! ^^ So, get those entries in. If you do, I'll give you a croissant! XD |
