I Want You To Write Forgiveness


Hosted by [Kaimee], a flipside contest.


<img:stuff/kaimee.jpg>





CLOSED: Judging at Forgiveness Contest Judging... Congrats all ;)





Forgiveness. Pardon, pity, mercy, absolution. I want you to write for me forgiveness, in any guise you wish.
Your entry should be less than 800 words and can be in either prose or poetry, entries will be judged on brilliance, alone. Brilliance will be judged by me, and spelling, grammar and creativity do of course impinge on the delivery of brilliance, so polish your work kiddos, and run it through a spell checker at least ;)


This idea came to me while writing my entry for [Burning Inside]'s War Diary contest. After finishing my entry it seemed to me that my piece was about forgiveness, and compassion. I'd like you guys to bring me as many and as varied entries as you can, my example of a War Diary being only one of the many forms forgiveness takes. Show me what you're made of guys ;)





RULES:
Subject to change at any time without notice

1. The theme of your piece must center around or focus on forgiveness. This doesn't mean that you can just throw the word 'forgive' in there somewhere, I want themed pieces.

2. Original work only, plagiarism will be looked for.

3. Prose and/or poetry permitted.

4. Prose: Maximum of 800 words, minimum of 150 words. Poetry: maximum of 35 lines, minimum of 10 lines.

5. Maximum of two entries per member.

6. I am not easily offended. Pornographic or gratuitously violent scenes will get you disqualified.
Other than that, *shrugs* if you're old enough to write it then I'm old enough to read it.
I ask that any members with mature content post warnings on their pieces.
Anyone who enters the contest or reads other member's pieces has been warned; you may stumble across things you don't so much like.

7. If you squabble on or over the contest, I will get cranky :P




JUDGING AND PRIZES:
Entries will be judged by me, according to sheer brilliance :P Correct spelling and grammar will heighten your chances of your story appearing brilliant, although if you're a good enough writer they may not get in the way. *shrugs* Your choice on that, I just tend to enjoy correct spelling and grammar more.
I also tend to enjoy the creative, rather than the predictable, please; work on that. If you do not adhere to the word/line count limitations you will be disqualified. If you break the rules you will be disqualified. My say is final.

1st, 2nd and 3rd places will recieve badges, everyone will recieve a participant badge. Pending
1st place will recieve a review of their winning piece by me, with as much commenting and critiquing I see the need for :P

The other two winners are doing it for prestige alone! ;)
Of course, I may just be un-predictable and do whatever strikes my fancy at the time. Brace yourself for either no c&c or a flood of it, no warning as to who will recieve. 1st, 2nd, 3rd or general participants are all equally susceptible 
to crazy Kaimee o.o

2006-02-04 [Po]: I'm in too! I really wish there were a sign-up roster here, [Kaimee] dear, so I could keep myself better organized. *begs on her knees* :D ;)

2006-02-04 [Kaimee]: *Bahs at you* I hate sign up rosters, I never add myself until I'm sure I'll have something to enter incase I have to back out XD But fine, because you're wonderful I'll make you one :P

2006-02-05 [Kuzco]: hey...any deadline?

2006-02-06 [Kaimee]: Not yet actually, I wanted to see how fast the response was first.. since it's very slow I'm not quite sure when I'll be setting the deadline. I'm used to hosting art contests on ET where everyone knows me and enters something within a day ;)

2006-02-07 [Mister Saint]: Well, activity around FS has been really heated for weeks. Everyone's starting to feel it now. *grins* Thash all.

2006-02-08 [Kaimee]: Yay, thanks for entering Moorn! ^^

2006-02-08 [Mister Saint]: Quite welcome. ^^ Twas a fun one to do.

2006-02-10 [Kuzco]: I'm in! Man that word count almost killed but I came out winning :P

2006-02-10 [Talenya]: Ummm....may I ask when the deadline is for this contest? So that I know when to get it in or if I have time to do a good peice for the contest. ^_^

2006-02-10 [Kuzco]: Already asked that, answer was there was none yet.

2006-02-11 [Kaimee]: Hahaha, awww Ki, lovely reason to enter :P

2006-02-11 [Talenya]: Sorry...I was a bit brain dead when I asked... ^_^'

2006-02-12 [Kaimee]: Hehehe that's ok, I've had a few of those moments myself ;)

2006-02-12 [Po]: Heh, remember that I wanted to tell you something when we first met each other, Kaimee? I'm still too braindead to remember what it was! *grins*

2006-02-12 [Kaimee]: *grins* Remember damnit!

2006-02-12 [Po]: *wracks her brain* Nope, no good. Can't find it.

2006-02-12 [Kaimee]: Bah, you're a terrible horrible person :P So are you going to enter or not, you forgetful person? :P

2006-02-12 [Po]: Hey, these heathen over here have been totally denying me computer time!!! That and I'm a major procrastinator. But indeed, I am entering.

2006-02-12 [Kaimee]: *snorts* from what I hear, you're the one who forced got those "heathen" onto this site in the first place ;) No one to blame but yourself...! :P Anyhoo, I must get dressed! :O

2006-02-12 [Po]: Ok, ok, you got me. Tis more the procrastinating than anything! :D Enjoy your clothing!

2006-02-12 [Kaimee]: Heh, I never enjoy clothing :P Specially during the Ausralian summer! *dies* And heh, did I ever tell you btw that I read that other short story, the one you sold? :D *likes* send me more of these! xP But anyhoo, must get on, have things to do before the day is over: clothes, push deaf/blind/old dog around neighbourhood, buy milk, phone friend, wash my hair in there sometime, READ A LITTLE MORE OF THE (TREASURED) PRE-RELEASE COPY OF THE NEW ELIZABETH MOON NOVEL! :D

2006-02-12 [Po]: Another true but societally hampered nudist, I see! Well, in that case, allow your clothes to enjoy you. ;) And for sure have fun with your reading! :D

2006-02-12 [Kaimee]: How said anything about nudity? :O Hey.. wait..... you aren't outside my window are you? :P

2006-02-12 [Po]: Several thousand miles and how many time zones outside it? *raises her eyebrows*

2006-02-12 [Kaimee]: Just checkin >:P

2006-02-12 [Po]: Well, there you go, dear. Procrastination just had its butt kicked. :D Sorry the story's so choppy. It's for sure rough-draft, and I haven't done any editing on it.

2006-02-12 [Kaimee]: ... that actually just brought tears to my eyes. Like, gah, I know I sound cliched but fuck, good piece of writing.

2006-02-12 [kileaiya]: I agree, it was beautiful.

2006-02-12 [Po]: *wants to give people a run for their money*

2006-02-12 [kileaiya]: I think you've given me more than a run, I think you gave me a run, then came back and slapped me in the face. :P

2006-02-12 [Kaimee]: Hahaha, competetive.. me likes :P Makes for a better contst >:)

2006-02-12 [Po]: That's funny, because I'm not really the competitive type. But honestly, what's the point of entering contests if you're not going to compete? :D

2006-02-12 [Po]: *hands [kileaiya] an icepack for the red face* sorry about that!

2006-02-12 [kileaiya]: I love a good challenge, and durn it if [Po] didn't make me have to go and up my game :P Now if I can figure out how to up my game. Hehe.

2006-02-12 [Po]: Turn the dial to 11. Yup, that should do it. Oh, and buy some yeast. :D

2006-02-12 [Po]: *must remind herself that on average it takes people more than 23 seconds to read and respond to posts and messages* ;)

2006-02-12 [kileaiya]: XD

2006-02-12 [Mister Saint]: *munching yeast happily*

2006-02-13 [Kaimee]: Ok.. ew :P

2006-02-13 [kileaiya]: He really will eat anything, eh?

2006-02-13 [Kaimee]: I wanna know where he's getting this random yeast he's eating O.o

2006-02-13 [Po]: Heh, he doesn't have to go very far. Don't you know that our dear [Mister Saint] is a consummate bread baker? *grins*

2006-02-13 [Kaimee]: No? :O But... yeast for bread.. who'd want to eat that stinky goop? XD

2006-02-13 [Mister Saint]: Me. It's good, nut.

2006-02-13 [kileaiya]: That may explain alot... :P

2006-02-13 [Kaimee]: Maybe he'll explode :D

2006-02-13 [kileaiya]: We can sell tickets :D

2006-02-13 [Kaimee]: Should we charge his enemies more, do you think, or his friends? :P

2006-02-13 [Mister Saint]: Charge my enemies more, there are more of them, and you'd make a better profit.

2006-02-13 [Kaimee]: Well it's not like we've got high expenditure, I mean, 20c for a packet of yeast right? Anything we make is profit ;)

2006-02-13 [kileaiya]: It's all gravy XDD

2006-02-13 [Kaimee]: *Feeds Moorn some more yeast* >:)

2006-02-13 [Mister Saint]: *eats it happily, explodes into a million tiny Moorns*

2006-02-13 [Kaimee]: Oi! We haven't sold tickets yet! *sighs*

2006-02-13 [Mister Saint]: (In unison) But soon there will be a million of us at full size. Then we can all blow up!

2006-02-13 [Kaimee]: uhm ok, a million Moorns kinda scares me :P

2006-02-13 [Mister Saint]: As well it should. Moorns nibble, you see, and a million of us can cause some serious structural damage all nibbling at once. ^_^

2006-02-13 [kileaiya]: Eek! They're going to take over the world!

2006-02-13 [Mister Saint]: Nah. We're just going to riverdance on it! *a million Moorns riverdance*

2006-02-13 [Kaimee]: Dear god, that's even worse!

2006-02-13 [kileaiya]: :O Dear lord, just kill me now. :P

2006-02-13 [Mister Saint]: *the Moorns all look up, bright eyes* 

2006-02-13 [kileaiya]: NoOoO! I can't get away from the tiny Moorns! *hides on top closet shelf*

2006-02-16 [Metal Tsubasa]: Now, you say it's based on forgivness... but can it be about not giving that forgivness?

2006-02-17 [Kaimee]: I want you to write about forgiveness, not "a story of someone being forgiven." Write what "forgiveness" is, really, in any mode. So yah. Go ahead :P

2006-02-17 [Fuzzysabeast]: *grabs a flyswatter*

2006-02-17 [Kaimee]: You need one of them in Australia at the moment, it's crazy with bugs o.o

2006-02-23 [Fuzzysabeast]: o.O. *calls the exterminator*

2006-03-12 [Kaimee]: Eeee, this contest has been made a Flipside featured contest! ^^ Sorry for my little absense, I've been... existing in an incredibly busy fashion, having just started a new uni and learning the joys of comuting 3 hours a day... ! Thanks to everyone for sticking around and such, you can look forwards to some actual judging by me soon enough :P

2006-03-18 [Burning Inside]: aww man that sux i would have loved to have joined this one, but i never got a chance, message me when you make your next contest ill be sure to join it

2006-03-19 [Kaimee]: It isn't over yet, it just will be soon! :P

2006-03-28 [Calann]: Um. *eeps* Or was this to be closed soonish? :S

2006-03-29 [Kaimee]: it is to be closed soonish, so hurry up and get your piece in if you're going to :P I'm closing it the second I have enough time, probably at the end of the week.

2006-03-29 [Calann]: Alright, I'll try my best, and if I don't get it done by the time when you come upon that second... Oh well. Is the end of the week synonymous to, say, Saturday or Sunday?

2006-03-29 [Kaimee]: something like that :P I'll message you the day I feel like closing it to tell you when, and you'll have until I go to bed that night before I post the results. ok? :P

2006-03-29 [Fuzzysabeast]: Cool!

2006-03-29 [Calann]: Fine by me. :P

2006-03-29 [Kaimee]: Actually, I may do that with all the contestants to give people to make a few final changes if they want to. But if I don't hear back by the time I go to bed... well, you're all stuck ;)

2006-03-30 [Po]: Heh, making changes would mean that I'd have to read it again. Nuh-uh. I'll just take what my muse has offered me and let it be. :D

2006-03-31 [Kaimee]: Me likes reading things over and over, I think you're cracked not to :P

2006-04-02 [Po]: Completely cracked. *noddles* But that's ok, at least I'm brilliant too. :D *giggles*

2006-04-20 [Kaimee]: I"m not going to message people, because I managed to take like a week and a half longer to close the contest than I had warned so I expect everyone to be ready by now. Judging and comments are done, see the page for details ;)
