Lonely Hearts Contest 2011: Entry Thread ***VOTE NOW!***
Posted: Tue Feb 08, 2011 5:37 am
The First Annual Lonely Hearts Contest!
Hello, forum! To switch things up a little bit this year, we're trying a new contest - being that February is the awful month with that dreaded holiday of Valentine's Day in it, we're writing a playful little entry in the theme of a personal ad.
Now, this isn't you writing an actual personal ad... instead, make up a personal ad based on your the little persona you've built up here through the forums. Tenjen is the perfect example - hope you don't mind me pointing you out here, Tenjen. 
But in real life he's not a lynx kitteh, as much as I'd enjoy seeing a lynx actually typing away at a keyboard. If you're fairly new and you don't feel like you've "built up" enough of a persona on the boards yet? No problem! Just have a bit of fun and write it up as an exaggerated version of yourself.
The criteria of the contest are as such:
1. All entries must be a total of 35 words or less.
2. Must have a headline (written in bold) atop the remainder of the paragraph that is no more than three words total.
3. No pictures or bribes.
4. Keep to the established forum guidelines with your entries.
And just in case people want a little suggestion, here is a mock-up entry to inspire...
Evil Maniac Love
Despot of all he surveys seeks adoring minion to be
by his side as he crushes those futile enough to
oppose him. Let's rule the world together!
No smokers, no players please.
The entry period is from now until the 24th of February. After which voting will take place until the 28th.
As always the prize is a shiny name color and rank title (if someone wins or is close to first place who does not have a title yet, that is).
This thread is for entries only, All discussion and questions to be in the normal related discussion thread.
EDIT: Poll is up!!! You have 4 days to vote, and FOUR votes due to the big turnout!! Get going!
