~Prose and Poetry Contest~
~One hundred Word Prose
Self explanatory. Entries must be under 100 words. No going over or the entry will be bumped up to the 500 word prose category. Yes, even if the word count is 101. ;). Title not included.
~Five Hundred Word Prose
Also self explanatory. Prose entries 500 words or under, not including title. Anything over 500 words will be axed from the competition. Yes, I'm unforgiving!
~Haiku and Tanka
As popular forms of poetry, these two get their own category. I'm going to be flexible here, and say that the five-seven-five format is not rigid, you can add a syllable or two here or there (haiku wasn't meant for the english language after all), but try not to over-do it. The short-longer-short line style needs to be there.
~Free Poetry
Poetry in any form -or formlessness- you like, minus haiku and tanka which should and will be put in their particular category. Please keep your poem under 30 lines, stanza breaks not included. ;)
Well! That gets the meat of the business out of the way.
To enter the contest just PM your entry to me, Quiet Man Cometh, with the entry title and category in the PM heading. That makes things easy to sort for me. :). You can pic any topic you like, it's all fair game, but keep in mind that anything fanfiction related (unless it's *Trisphee fanfiction :D) runs the risk of not being understood and I'm not going to research piles of information in order to understand a story. You can add footnotes or a *tiny* introduction if you like, but it's best if you can keep all your content that's important to the story, in the story. And don't forget, punctuation and spelling counts!
Good luck!
