Haha!
It's very juvenile, given my target audience. But I've tried to include as many of my quirky touches as possible.

Can everyone please post/PM/whatever whether they want to do a poem or a short story, or both, so I can start working timeframes out.

Plus, suggestions for themes?

Oh. I'm terrible uncreative.
I can pump out a formal essay in a short period of time and it be ace, but a story where I have to make things up is not my cup of tea.

Write a shitty Haiku and photoshop it over an erotic picture of yourself. I'll vote for it.

I once read a Haiku about fellatio. Very strange.
Oh and by the way I'm free from May 23rd to about June 2nd. If that's not do-able any time after June 9th will be fine.

I'd prefer to have the erotic picture photoshopped over the Haiku.

By the way, I'm totally sexually frustrated. At least I admit it.

RULES

There are no themes or word limits to the poetry/lyrics section (although obviously a bit of common sense is necessary. No mind-meltingly long epics, please). Rhyming isn't necessary, but let's limit it to English, so all can appreciate your fabulous works of art. And no haikus, please.

The same tournament style as last year will apply here, so try and stick to the time limits given. Extentions might be given, if the other party agrees and generous moods abound, but it would be most helpful if you could declare any clashes in advance.

I assume everyone's read the rules, and agrees to abide by them (such as they are...). People who've expressed interest so far, it'd be helpful if you could repeat yourselves so I know you want to do the Poetry, and not the short story (you can do both, but make time for yourself, being in one won't be a good excuse for getting an extension in the other).

And get writing! The latest the first showdown will be taking place is May 25th.

The following people are in:
Me
Jaden
Brahm_K
Tlaloc
DevotedWalnut
Slayer Of Kings
Define Infinity
unknownkadath666
Noodles

OK, this is how the first round will go, all times GMT:

    Midnight 24th May to midnight 25th May - Brahm_K vs Zad
    Midnight 25th May to midnight 26th May - voting


    Midnight 27th May to midnight 28th May - DevotedWalnut vs Define Infinity
    Midnight 28th May to midnight 29th May - voting


    Midnight 30th May to midnight 31st May - unknownkadath666 vs Jaden
    Midnight 31st May to midnight 1st June - voting


    Midnight 2nd June to midnight 3rd June - Tlaloc vs Slayer Of Kings
    Midnight 3rd June to midnight 4th June - voting


    Midnight 6th June to midnight 7th June - Noodles vs Kathaarian
    Midnight 7th June to midnight 8th June - voting


Post poems in a new thread, titled with Whoever vs Whoever, in the time given, then when that time is up, the voting starts. You get 24 hours for both. If I haven't started a thread for it, make it yourselves. I may not be available to supervise every single second, common sense rules supreme!

Gaps are for last-minute, 'oh no! my dog just died and I need mourning time!'-styled pathetic excuses, although if you need more time please say so a few days (at the very least) before. They also build tension, and make things more exciting...

I know there'll only be five people in round 2, if no-one else signs up for this we'll do a special vote and the best losing poem goes forwards, or something.

The end date for signing up is this friday 18th May, so if you want to be in and haven't said yet, get a move on!

The timing is still bad for me, so I think I'll bow out. I'm in the middle of various crises which include trying to find a place to live.
