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!
So I've went through every page of the poetry contest and analyzed how long it took each judge to judge the contest. It's quite enlightening...will post all charts and information as soon as alt finishes this one.
Wow... I haven't been on in like 2 weeks AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED. I looked forward to reviewing judgement but it looks like thats not gonna happen! Would you like a side of Epic with that Fail? Cmon Alt. Even though I have little faith that I will place, I still wanna know. SO GET TO IT!!!!!
Every page, Parsat? All 257? Exactly what mixture of "Dedication" and "Too Much Time On His Hands" is that concoction? I mean, it would be interesting, but God that's really...uh...time consuming.
Submerged in a sea of gold What can all these riches hold Laughter, thrills and other emotions drowning in them like a sea or ocean
Submerged in a sea of gold What can all these riches hold Depression, suicide, shadows and betray Darker then the endless waters of the ocean
Submerged in a sea of gold What can all these riches hold Fame, fortune, life and death Attention, criticism and the need for rest
Submerged in a sea of gold What can all these riches hold? They hold nothing unless you have something, an anchor to reality, something to keep you from drowning in this sea of gold.
Submerged in a sea of gold What can all these riches hold?
Hyper, all 256 (because it was before this 257th page) plus all 16 pages from the original contest thread here. Although, the page number doesn't matter because judging is measured in days, not pages.
It's well past the two week deadline and I think we can all agree that someone, anyone, should judge soon. I cannot do it right now, but if it's amenable to everyone, I would be more than happy to sub in for Alt and judge this round as I have not entered.
