Cuddlemii: ~FEEDBACK~

Topics:
-just a reminder that the first stage of the competition requires you to submit your own poems.
Any title! Any style! Must be your original write-up!
-don't fuss too much about the topics I am releasing. That part of the competition is due in the second round.

Response Time:
I won't reply every comment.
But, I would collate the comments and provide general solutions/replies using the the Feedback mechanism.
90% of the time, the questions have been asked before. Read all feedback posted by me.

Re: Nairaland's "The Poet" Competition Season 2 by bibiking7(m): 10:18pm On Jul 07, 2013
I have got a couple of questions. lemme make them as plain as possible.
1. Are the poems safe? peeps might take the stuffs writen here and use it somewhere else. 2. Authentication. Do you have peeps that will verify that contestants really wrote their stuffs and did not just borrow online. 3. call me slow grin, but from what was written, each person will need like 4 poems. (just need to confirm).

And as for those wey wan contest. I get one tricky question. Will you use your best poem in the 1st stage or last.

@moderator, why hide my post? You could just let me know you do not value my prizes, then I'll make better offer. I believe in rewarding 'brainees', I am not joking shocked
Re: Nairaland's "The Poet" Competition Season 2 by Mutaino7(m): 10:30pm On Jul 07, 2013
trying new grounds aint bad either.
Re: Nairaland's "The Poet" Competition Season 2 by ayd91(m): 10:42pm On Jul 07, 2013
Wow, great opportunity to test/confirm the stuff I am made of. Being confident (publicly) has never been my strongest point, I hide being my pen and sail on the waves of poetry backed by reality and imagination, the perfect mix.
I am so in.

Hi bibi,

Thank you for your questions. Nice name you've got there wink

1. Yes, I would like to believe the poems are safe. But, life itself is a risk. This whole process involves risk, too.

2. As per verification, it might not be doable for the first round.

1. Once you post your poem here, anyone can use it anywhere. Don't bring poems that had ever hit the internet before or your disqualified. We will absolutely check for duplicates tongue

Its up to you guys, which poem will be first? Your best or your worst?

Do remember though First Impression counts grin

pardon me, does this mean we aren't allowed to submit already published works (internet and print)? If this is so, its a bit unfair to those who have published the best of their works. And can a compromise be reached if the participant can show adequate proof of ownership?

your post was hidden because you broke one of the 21 rules.

If you have nothing to say related to the topic, please go and voice your opinions or suggestions in the Poets cafe or the literature chat central. There your free to post off topic BUT please don't break any of the 21rules thanks.

If you can show us proof of ownership then we gladly accept your work.

I am very sure that poets are creative writers, they turn even something useless into a valued possesion. That's what makes them special, so please no duplicates, thrill the Judges.

It is okay. If it's your published work(print and internet), it is fine.

Thanks.

Hi.

Please, when your post is hidden, and you seek clarification, you can always do so, using the complaints thread. Sometimes, it is a mistake, or triggered by the use of inappropriate words. No one would just hide your post, just like that. I do like the reward thingy, it's very thoughtful of you. Thanks.
