Hey guys. BtVSFigs and Time and Space Toys have teamed up to bring you the ' Bloody Awful Poetry' Contest! Each member who would like to enter are to abide by the following rules and regulations: - Each poem must be Spike-based.
- Each poem must be 15-20 lines long. Nothing more, nothing less.
- Each member can only enter one (1) poem each.
- All entries are due by February 11, 2005 by 11:59pm central time.
- All entries should be sent to 'BloodyAwfulPoetry.'
Once all of the entries are sent in, I will send them all to TST, who will then post the poems on their website for everyone's viewing pleasure. Voting will then be open for a week, and you guys (perhaps non-members, as well) will send in your choice for the top three poems. After all votes have been counted, the winners will be announced. The overall winner will receive a ' Book of Vengeance' boxset, which includes a free membership to the new Buffy Collector Club, sponsored by Time and Space Toys and Buffy Collector, as well as a Beneath You Spike figure. The remaining top seven (7) poetry writers will each receive a Beneath You Spike figure. All prizes for this contest have been graciously donated by Time and Space Toys. I hope this new contest is refreshing for all of you. Good luck! -CMK

Um... so should the poems intentionally be "bloody awful"?
'Cause really, they're likely to be bloody awful either way, I say it's better they turn out that way on purpose.
Just looking for clarification here... :-)

can you write it like spike is saying it? Yes. The way you write the poem (despite the length) is up to you. The poem has just got to be Spike-based/related. -CMK

I just sent my entry! Doubt I'll win though, I kinda suck at writing poems and plus many of you guys who are entering are like years older and have more experience and stuff. I don't really mind if I don't win! I just really want Beneath You Spike as I didn't preorder any Spike/Darla figures and I have no money cause I just ordered FFL Spike and Season 5 Spike (or You're Welcome Spike as they have it on their site) from FP and I want to get the whole wave before everywhere sells out!

I've read through the poems sent in so far and am loving them. I hope a lot of you who haven't entered yet are considering doing so!
