SHH OFFICIAL CONTEST! "Cite to Skin!"

[Drakon]

So, you wanted the best, you got...well, me. And a contest of sorts.

Superhero Hype! Forums presents:

---------------------

---------------------

Entry is simple.

1) Write a limerick or a haiku about why you like it here at the Hype.

2) PM it to "Dick Dynamite".

3) ?????

4) Profit!!

---------------------
​

There's a bit more to it, though.

*You must have an active account [probationary bannings will not disqualify you, however, permanent bannings will]
*The entry must follow SHH! Forum guidelines. If it's something that'd get you in trouble posting, then it's not a good entry.
*Staff members are not going to be eligible for the contest.* However, I will be having some of them help pick the finalists, and they don't even know who they will be yet. Names will not be disclosed, as to preserve posterity, until the winner and runner up are announced.
*One Entry per user, please. If I suspect something, I -will- do an IP check, and if it shows up suspect, all entries from that IP are disqualified.
*DO NOT POST YOUR ENTRY HERE. If you do, it's disqualified.

---------------------

First place is that I will set up a test forum, and I will grant that user special permissions to see the forum, [so that only the winner and the staff can see it], while I build a custom vBulletin skin for use on this site. They will have direct input to what they like and dislike, and will be working with me while I build this most likely from scratch. Of course, there will be sacrifices for functionality [such as no black text on a black wall], but the user will have pretty much free reign as to what's going on. Also, no porn images. Still gotta stick with the site rules.

Second place will have a smiley dedicated to them, to be added when we add the next batch of smileys.

Deadline for entry is July 15!!
-------------------------
Addendum:

*Don't ask me if I like your entry or how good the chances are of you winning, until after the contest is over, because I will completely and utterly lie to you, because I will be an impartial judge. Or I might tell the truth. You won't know, because I've already broken your trust by telling you I'd lie to you, and you don't know if that's a lie or not. Or if that is a lie. Or that.

ANY QUESTIONS, ASK HERE, OR PM TO ME!

 

[Dick Dynamite]

This is the account to PM entries to. Any entries sent to the Drakon account will not be valid, and therefore won't count.

 

[Immortalfire]

Listen to Episode 22 of the Hype Cast!

 

[Nirvana]

Haha, for the love of god let someone creative win.

 

[Alexia Dark]

A short story maybe; a haiku... not really my thing. I forget, is it 5-7-5 or 5-7-3?

 

[Drakon]

This is a haiku.
Five syllables first and last.
Seven in between.

 

[Majic Walrus]

Is Dick Dynamite like Bizzaro Drakon?

 

[ComicChick]

can't wait!

I want a :CC: smiley

 

[AndThePickles]

Hmm, perhaps I'll send in an entry.

 

[Drakon]

Is Dick Dynamite like Bizzaro Drakon?

DD is actually my stage name, I mentioned it WAYYYYYY back in the C4 thread, and had to register it before one of those bastages took the name.

 

[AndThePickles]

Question: Can we each submit one limerick and one haiku?

 

[Drakon]

Answer: No, sorry.

And now I know why you stepped down as mod--you wanted to enter the contest!

 

[AndThePickles]

It's a tough contest, 'cause I don't know whether to go for funny or more serious. Wish I knew who the judges would be

Now that would be cheating. :P Good luck, though.

 

[ComicChick]

i'm entering

Addendum: Since I've been asked twice already, I'll go ahead and say it here and add it to the first post. Don't ask me if I like your entry or how good the chances are of you winning, until after the contest is over, because I will completely and utterly lie to you, because I will be an impartial judge. Or I might tell the truth. You won't know, because I've already broken your trust by telling you I'd lie to you, and you don't know if that's a lie or not. Or if that is a lie. Or that.

[Drakon]

It's saving me trouble later, I assure you.

 

[ComicChick]

i'm just playing confused

 

[ComicChick]

question about the smiley, are we just giving you input? or do we get to create it ourself?

 

[Drakon]

I was going to make it myself, and use your name or abbreviate it. For example...

:drak:

[That was made by Fruity, by the way]

But you'd say what you wanted it of, and/or the code you wanted.

 

[JaD]

Oh I'm definitely doing this! I love writing poetry

 

[AndThePickles]

I miss Fruity
