Me on October 14th

[Lunarisse Aspenstar]

Well since Norrin is giving Luna an extra billion for prizes, I'll update the numbers and add 11th-15th  I already have 4 submissions  and several commitments to submit so I hope people take advantage of the excuse to get their creative juices flowing.

A writing contest?

...

So wish I could remember which Amarrian bar that was in where people were making up/reciting poems and songs.  I must have been in a RL creative mood that night as I made up something completely on the fly. 

These days I'm not .. mm for a lack of a better term, not feeling so good. (RL sucks?  I and my body dislike change and theres just been too much of it as of late.) 

Aldrith MUST ATTEND of course, it is only absolutely required.  Maybe someone should make him judge, being a Poet and all. :p

Arista it was the Raven Poetry House in Nahyeen, which not coincidentially is where the readings for the winners will be held
I don't use it often but that's what it's for. I suspect I dragged you there one night

Also I updated lead post to reflect new prize amounts.

If you need a co-judge, I'd be happy to lend a hand! Else I will write an poetic essay or so, I guess. <,<

[Arista Shahni]

Maybe I'll warm up my iambic pentameter engine.  I'm pretty good at epic poetry, used to go to a poetry reading thingy in EQ2 once a week..

[Lunarisse Aspenstar]

Friendly reminder. if you send me your submission to my email account (linked to luna's info here at backstage) please let me know your character name so credit can be given! 

[Karmilla Strife]

It was more a joke than anything, although any writing would come from an apostate character anyhow. Great initiative, but got no one that could join in, really.

You realize that since there are 15 prizes, if less than 15 non-apostates respond, your apostate gets their work published by an Amarr do-gooder.

Just saying...

What are the rules regarding the submission of multiple works? For example, would it be possible to send in multiple short poems and have the possibility of the best regarded one being selected for a certain prize?


Also, what are the policies regarding submission of multiple works through alternate characters?

Multiple submissions are fine. (including by more than one character).

I may treat poems or other very short works as one submission (a poetry collection) in my discretion if submitted by one character and thematically related.

Also, I am not awarding 15 prizes just cause I get 15 submissions.  Awards will be given to those who merit it although given what I've seen so far, I am pretty confident all 15 will be awarded.

[Lunarisse Aspenstar]

Addendum:

I assumed it need not be said, but any work submitted should be the writer's own. 

[Jace]

I believe this calls for public shaming. 

No, no. That's wrong. 

[Morwen Lagann]

No, no. That's wrong. 

No, it's right. People should know better than to do that shit.

[Lunarisse Aspenstar]

Due to an OOC medical issue for one player, I am extending the deadline for all submissions another week to October 22nd.

I've gotten 15 very good submissions so far and I'll make sure everyone gets a prize for at least participating at this point. I've been very pleasantly surprised   The hard part is going to be judging and picking the top 4....

[Jace]

Woo, an extension. I might be able to get something in, then.
