Collab Contest?

Hi guys! So I've been thinking about collabs lately, and was thinking I could get a list of participants, do a random pairing, then poems could be sent to me and I would post them on the message board without names. Voting could be anonymous and done by anyone on the site.

Then everyone could guess the team.

And the theme? Autumn

Maybe requirements would have to be to include specific fall words or certain phrases we could brainstorm here

Anyone in? :)

I'm in

I'm totally up for this!

I would love to try :)

I'm in :-)

Me too!

I'll play!

Awesome, 3 pairs so far! Anyone else want to join in?

I've thought of some restrictions too:

- Use a metaphor
- Name one city/state/country
- Use the word "deciduous"

Also, you cannot write "fall" or "autumn" IN the poem. That would be too much of a giveaway!

Let me know if you want other words/ phrases... any input welcome (wait, then again why would you want more challenges haha)

Just a quick suggestion, why not have a group of maybe 5-6 words that they can choose from, after all if every poem has deciduous in it, they'd lose their luster after reading the third one, just a thought.....great idea for a collab though.

I'm in too.

Sure can do, Bob! Appreciate the suggestion.

Great, will have rules edited soon.

EDIT:

Okay, I have words set up. But to start we'll need 1 more person, or 3 or 5.

Any other takers??

Do we know when we're starting? :)

I.suppose I'll join but be warned I dont check the boards often.

I can give you another way to contact me if you'd like so it's easier to.keep up with me

^ Sure, that'd be great and would love for you to join in!

Yep, Ben, sorry about the delay last few days! Ready to begin and will be randomly be pairing people up and giving a word bank to choose from.

One minute, entrants, and I'll pm you your teammate :D

Messages sent! Let the fun begin... but first, some RULES!

The theme: Fall
You CANNOT use "fall" or "autumn" in your poem. One team member can choose from the word list below, and the another member choose another. You also MUST include a metaphor somewhere in your poem. Length to me doesn't matter as well as who wrote what line or how you format the poem.

1. flannel
2. harvested
3. cider
4. scarecrow
5. bonfire
6. cornucopia
7. halloween
8. pumpkin

TENTATIVE DUE DATE: OCT 18th

And teams, just pm me your poems when done. Can't wait to read them! Let me know on here if you have any questions at all.

How are poems coming along, guys?? Due date is in 6 days unless you need an extension :)

I'd say mine and my partners is going well... lots of laughs in the process anyway!

I agree with Britt. My team should be ready
