LOTM - July

EgoCentrix · 07-15-2010, 03:03 PM

LAST DAY!! SUBMISSIONS DUE BY 12:00 PM!!!!
Literary of The Month!
Thats right, it's back! The new LOTM
Seeing as the forums need to be a little more active, and Asian was kinda enough to reopen the Arts, we're giving it another shot.

Requirements: We're going to start this off easy, with a couplet. Simple, straight and to the point!

Definition: a stanza consisting of two successive lines of verse; usually rhymed

In fact, seeing as this is SUCH a simple task, I'm going to have you rhyme it!

I.E. But if thou live, remember'd not to be,
Die single and thine image dies with thee
-Shakespeare, Sonnet III

Rewards: Seeing as this is just the start, I'm going to see if a custom usertitle is in order? As we progress, rewards WILL get better.

Entries Will be accepted today through the 25th! Voting will last from the 26th to the 30th, and the winner will be announced on the 31st! (Sorry this is so late in the month, I'll start next months earlier)

How to enter: To take popularity out of the matter, I ask that ALL submissions be messaged to me!! Release NONE of your work to any members of the community or you're entry will be void.

Good luck, and have fun!

Is your head like, not on straight? You say there's only one day left. Yet, later on in your post, you say entries are accepted until the 25th. It's the 18th...

Please don't insult people trying to revive a wonderfully great Dodian tradition! Instead support it.

No. My heads perfectly straight. It was actually a psychological thing. You see, in the few days that the post had been up, I had only gotten 1 entry. So I stated there was only 1 day left, and proceeded to get 3 more, literally within the hour. It saddens me to see not many people entering. But hopefully here soon more people should add in. Like you.

He has a point though. I'm surprised no one else noticed.

Well, I enter every LOTM and SOTM when possible. I just read requirements and due date then get to work.

But I see the point of the one day thing. Not a good example of psych but it is great to see people here with many talents. Any who good luck with the LOTM, I look forward to seeing the entrees received at the polls.

Lets work to keep this tradition for many moons to come and be happy.

I am only good at spelling and grammar. I can't make a good poem for the life of me...

Thats why we're starting out small. It's just a basic couplet. Try it out, it couldn't hurt?

Only 3 more days left counting today till submissions will be taken.
