First, I will post the overall rules, and then I will post the specifics about this week.
Original rules, as stated by Ubertuna:
It must fit the week's theme. It must be submitted by the deadline. It cannot have inappropriate language in it. It cannot be stolen (if you plagiarize, we will find you).
Also:
The poem must be created for this contest A user cannot win two weeks in a row (though everyone is welcome to submit every week!) Only one submission per user will be accepted
As we all know, the winner will recieve a merit, and their poem will be featured on the _Poetry_ page.
OK, on to this week's topic...Again, we are having a style instead of a theme. Also, this week we are having TWO WEEKS to do it, instead of the usual one. Why? Because this will be an EPIC poem. Or, rather, a parody of an epic poem. Generally, epic poetry is very long, and tells the serious story of a heroic figure. Well, this week, the epic figure is YOU! Write a long poem (I'll leave the definition of 'long' up to you, but give it a good go) about the heroic story of you! It can be silly, serious, whatever... just have fun with it. You have two weeks, so have a great time!
Hmm yes...though it would be more democratic and unbiased.
Well, to be that, you would need to vote on the winning poem as well as voting for the theme and so on... Too much work. If the judge does not enter, and also gives a good reason for the poem winning, there should be no problem at all. Before this, it was mods doing the judging and theme, and mods can be biased as well... Anyway, too much of a debate, too little poetry.
Anyway...perhaps we should vote and come up with topics along the way so we don't need to wait for a week between each contest?
Or just letting the judge do the work. It is her who is judging it, it is only fair she is the one to choose.
Ya, sorry about this week, But i already have a theme for next time. And I try to be unbiased as possiable Anyway Cenere, thanks for changing it, or ehh getting someone to change it. What ever you did...Thanks
...and also gives a good reason for the poem winning..
I try, but there are so many good ones sometime you just go with your gut because you cant chose.

Yes. That is usually a good reason too. What I think I was trying to formulate was that you are not going to let people win, just because they are friends of you. It is usually not hard, especially not for mature people.
And I was talking to Strop, so... Spammed him a little to get it changed.
Well, I guess the good thing is I am acquainted to quite a few people but I don't really talk to them. So mostly everyone is equally a stranger to me So I cant really favor anyone.
Life is a dark abysmal engulfed by sorrow and satanism. Crows feed on the essence of darkness emitted by Life. Death strikes upon earth with a schythe. Spun by bats and the dark creatures of below. Oh god, those bleak, bleak crows.
As the sun begins to appear, Children rejoice from far and near. and then Satan himself shakes the ground. and steps on there twitching body, crushing there skulls. They fear.

Gut feeling and instinct usually are correct. That's what my teachers ask me to do for MCQ questions....If you don't know, your primal feelings should help you feel your way through in the absymal darkness...
Nah, kr he just instant messaged Strop to change the title.
Thought so. I have been trying to get Strop all week on IM...to change this title and the Pokemon contest title. I finally got the Pokemon one changed though which is good. By the way, you all should enter
