Hello everyone.  Sorry that I'm a day late - yesterday was hectic...

We've only had one submission for critique this month so I'll add it to the list below.  As per the rules, I'll also be keeping on all those from last month that don't seem to have gotten any feedback.  If you have the chance, please read them and let the author know what you think - they'll be very grateful.

Contest is also still running for those who are interested - please read further for the rules!

Poetry Contest!

I figured that it was about time that we ran another contest.  If you would like to take part, the rules are as follows:

1.  Since the festive period is upon us, the theme this time is Warmth.  Take that to mean however you wish - how you include this prompt in your work is entirely up to you.

2.  You have exactly a month from today to submit your entries - submissions close at 12pm GMT on 24th December 2013 and then the judging will begin.

3.  Submissions must be poems.  Apologies to writers of prose - I intend to hold a flash fiction contest in the New Year to suit your needs.

4.  Usual group rules still apply - i.e. no fan-fiction and flag your work if it contains mature themes.

5.  Submissions must be made to the 'Contest Entry' folder in the gallery.  Submissions made to any other folder will not be counted.

6.  Only one submission per person please - make it your best work :-)

7.  The winner will be picked by myself after the end date - how soon after will depend on how many entries I have to read.

8.  The winning piece will be displayed forever in our Featured Gallery for everyone to admire.

If you have any questions, please post below and I will be more than happy to answer.  If not - may the odds be forever in your favor.
