Welcome to Gaia! ::


Dapper Businesswoman

I've established this thread for one reason: to encourage critiquing in the original poetry and lyrics forum. This contest will judge how you critique a poem or lyric rather than be a contest based solely on poetic skills. Everyone who posts under the terms and rules will receive a gold prize from 500 to 1000 gold. My hope is that this will encourage people to critique not just for their own benefit but for the author who is being critiqued.

I heart you. xd

Godspeed to all the contestants!
Have you ever thunkt? This is probably a stupid question, but I want to confirm. You don't count comments like "wow, that was so beautiful" as critiques, right? Do you count all critiques as invalidated one of these critiques (like, wow that's sooo good, but I think you have a typo" wink ? And finally, if I'm going a little slow and someone gets in a critique while I'm working on one, should I just consider that a pro bono critique? Wow, I sound like such a greedy money-grubber. Sorry, for the stupid questions. I'm new so I'm just a little hesitant. Peace.

Yes.

They have to be the same format as the parameters stated in the rules post.

Yes, the reason being that I don't want people to piggy back and then they are forced to focus on some other poem

Don't be sorry, they are all intelligent questions.

This is a good idea. Sadly, I have an epic fail when it comes to poems and lyrics. T-T
