After two very rough weeks of exams, sickness, and car troubles, I was finally able to get to judging Five Words! Thank you everyone for your participation; I loved reading your writings. As always, I have rated each of your pieces. Here are the winners! Congratulations and hope to see you all in the next round!
 
1st [Sabrina Catherine] 479.Contest Entries- Five Words August 2011
I laughed so hard when I saw how you used the word furbish--major flashback. Although it wasn't my intention, it was so creative I had to give you first!

The Rules

  
This contest is simple. It is designed to test your ability to find commonality among five seemingly unrelated words.

It is your job to take these five words (chosen at random), and place them all in a single, coherent paragraph.

1. The paragraph must make sense. It cannot be each word strung together to form a sentence or each word placed in sentences that are unrelated to each other.

2. All the words must be contained in one paragraph (defined as 3-5 sentences in most English classes).

3. The words do not need to be placed in any specific order.

4. The words must remain in the same tense in which they are presented.

5. Words from the word list must be written in bold in your paragraph for easy identification.

6. New writings only. No recycling old materials.

7. No plagiarism.

8. Minimal adult material please. I read all entries and I have a weak stomach. >.<
  
Judging will be based on how well the writer meets the above explained criteria. Contextually-correct, creative word usage will be the biggest portion of the ultimate decision. Obviously, spelling and grammar are an important part of judging. General coherence of your paragraph will be taken into consideration as well. Make sure it makes sense! Originality of subject and style will be counted. And remember...I refer to it as a paragraph, not a sentence or a couple sentences. Say as much as you can without making an entire short story!

2006-03-11 [Winkx]: Oops.I took it as cue in like In TV or something. Yikes!

2006-03-11 [Askoga]: -laughs- That's good, too! I forget that it can be used as in "he gave me the cue, and I began to recite my lines", or some other such thing. Note that most of the other entrants used it that way, as opposed to referring to billiards.

2006-03-11 [Winkx]: True, but I used it like this. "As if on cue he walked through the gate." Or something like that.

2006-03-11 [Fuzzysabeast]: Hey it still works

2006-03-11 [Askoga]: It's such a great, versatile little word! -pets it-

2006-03-11 [Po]: Hey people!Don't go telling me what is in your entries! *hides from spoilers* I save reading them until judgement day!

2006-03-11 [Winkx]: What? *Eyes big* We're just petting the word cue. *holds out the purring word* Bow to its cuteness!

2006-03-13 [RiddleRose]: ooh.. last day! good luck everyone!

2006-03-13 [Po]:

Attention Five Words participants!

2006-03-14 [RiddleRose]: ooh!!! fun!  congratulations everyone!

2006-03-14 [Winkx]: Man...I lost my first contest. Oh well, congradulations everyone! :D

2006-03-14 [Askoga]: There are other contests on flipside that you could always try out. ^-^ The object is, after all, to get better at writing, not to be the best. This contest, for example, which I didn't win this time around, brought back my want to write. Thus, I figure I won, even if I didn't get a prize.

2006-03-14 [Winkx]: I know... :D I'm not bitter. Just kinda hopein' ya know? Oh well...FIVE MORE WORDS! :DDDDDDDD

2006-03-16 [Winkx]: I cooked an egg with voltage,,,,

2006-03-16 [Kaimee]: Just wondering, is the 'paragraph' limit strict? If we wanted to write an entire short story and enter it is that too much? >.>

2006-03-16 [Kaimee]: *has missed a lecture this morning because inspiration struck* >.>
