Greetings all.
We have a silly and meaningless challenge going on over in the PF&D board, entitled "Naughty Poetry Challenge". Since I'm the one who started it I made the guidelines very random and open to debate. I just can't bring myself to be legislative.
The challenge requires writing a poem that has "kinky" or non-traditional sexual acts as its focus. I had this brainstorm that we could recruit some new people to assist in judging the work. The prizes are meaningless and imaginary so the judging is not of immense importance, but for various reasons I thought that folks who are relatively new here might be good choices to judge. The single criterion is whether or not the piece makes you TOTALLY HAWT. Technical skill is going to decide that anyway, so you don't need to know an anapest from an allusion to qualify as a judge for this thing.
I have randomly defined "newbie" as someone with fewer than 500 posts and/or someone who has been on the board less than a year. If you are an old fart who wants to be a judge you can do so but you have to try to judge without bias for "technical skill" - the only criterion in this particular contest is whether a piece makes you TOTALLY HAWT. And if you're an old fart who wants to go to the trouble to create a new alt and pretend to be a newbie just to judge a meaningless poetry contest, well then go for it. But we'd prefer judges who aren't looking at technique and are willing to evaluate only on TOTAL HAWTNESS.
Although supposedly one had to get signed on for the contest by the 18th, people who still want to put a poem in may do so. Again, I'm just not real legislative.
Do be sure to review the thread, particularly the first post that delineates the guidelines of the challenge, if you want in on this, and try to ignore all the jacking and playtime. There is some phenomenal work being posted already. The challenge ends on October 1st, so all pieces have to be in by then, and we'll announce the "winners" sometime within the following week.
Thanks for playing!
