Here Be The Comp

[mickey_one]

The 'problem' is that Mick is the other, voting judge... as well as one who knows that an interthingy is needed .


~ Lizzy

I can judge them objectively regardless of source, as I love you all equally.

but to placate those concerned, I NEED AN INTERTHINGY NOW.

[lizzytysh]

If no one's volunteered yet, Mike, I've just created an email specifically for this. It'll get used regardless, but here it is: cohenescape07@yahoo.com [as you know, the "mailto:" part got there by default and is NOT to be included in the email address, which actually begins at "cohen . . . "].

If I interthingy [verb form], though, please put your poem in the body of your email, so I won't have any attachments to open. I'll still copy-and-paste them on to Michael.

3 cheers all round to Lizzy, who can also send me her own entry annonthingy this way.

so use her new addy please.

I just received one really excellent entry which went straight to my hotmail trash folder for some weird reason, but that don't make it junk.

[lizzytysh]

Michael and Manna ~

Please email me at the new address to let me know where you want the poems sent... it can get burdensome if sent to your PM box, Manna [though you may already have guessed that and received the entries so far from Michael at an email address].

Can one of you please send me those entries, please, so I can have them all accurately numbered, and in correct order from the beginning, with the writer's name/email/screen name/whatever they've chosen?

Thanks.

There's other information I've added to the "addie" posting, so if you're writing a poem for submission to the contest, please read that, too.

Thanks.

[Pete]

sorry if it's already been mentioned but is there a deadline for submission of entries?

Pete,
Michael said earlier that winners will be announced 19th September. I don't think I've seen a closing date though, but not such a lot of time left now.

Here Be A Question:

Mickey_one, is only one entry allowed per person, or will you accept multiple submissions?

Not that I intend to try and impress you with lots of poems (or even one for that matter), but just in case I fall foul of a creative avalanche.

[lizzytysh]

Hi BOAW & Pete ~

I asked about this in the "Addy" thread re: # of submissions. In the past, multiples were allowed, but I can't remember if there was a limit... if so, maybe it was five[?].

Pete ~ I realized after I posted over there, too, that I'd not thought to ask about the deadline. In the past, that's been a somewhat 'crucial' matter with different time zones and people's working schedules and weekends and such, so that really oughta get clarified... especially if September 19 remains the announce date [time for judging and final decision-making inclusive]. It appears that the 19th was chosen because of Leonard's birthday on the 21st... yet, with the winning entry[ies?] being read at the pre-Barbican get-together, I'm wondering if it might not be extended beyond Leonard's birthday.

Michael ~ Can you answer these queries in the "Addy" thread, so all submission info is gathered together in one spot?

Thanks, if it be your will .

multiple, natch. I can't imagine why not.

... (do watch those stray CAPITALS) Birdie

Sorry. 'Twas beaten into me by a very nasty English teacher at school to never begin a sentence without a capital letter. And since the sentence began with a name/nick-name I couldn't force my hand to do anything else but succumb to the conditioning.

a thousanD apologieS deeP

[lizzytysh]

So, the depth of her nasty conditioning made you capitalistically dyslexic, as well, BOAW. Have you sought counseling?


~ Lizzy

[Manna]

you don't have to be a capitalist.

[Birdonawire]

The socialist in me wants to see capitals everywhere and for everyone and everything, but the capitalist in me wants me to strictly limit them to appropriate use only

[lizzytysh]

Looks like the socialist is winning that internal battle.
