Well, dontcha think its about time we did Singin' In The Rain...?
Da-da-da-da-da-dah...
Abbreviated rules borrowed from here to encourage some new entrants ....
The Rules
The first line of a haiku poem has five syllables. The second line has seven syllables. The third, and final, line has five syllables.
The Movie Haiku Contest (MHC) is open to every member of the FWFR site.
To enter, all you have to do is think of a Haiku for the current movie, then post into the current thread. Simple as that. Also, haikus may be risque, but nothing explicit please.
Only one entry per person as per The Blevins Rule. However, you are allowed to edit your existing entry until 9pm Tuesday FWFR time. *
Voting.
If you have entered the MHC, then you have to vote. If you do not vote, you'll lose 3 points from your total, even if you are Sludge and its your birthday. This could mean the difference between the adoration and envy of your fellow Fwiffers or being the feckless butt of our jokes!
You do not have to enter an MHC to vote. Vote away. It'll be like a lurker vote!
---------------------------------
For each round, you get to vote for your three favourite haikus. The voting is as follows:
3 pts fwfr a 2 pts fwfr b 1 pt fwfr c --------------------------------
You may vote only once You cannot vote for yourself. You can vote for the previous winner
You vote by sending me your votes in a PM (Private Message) HERE, to Me. I'll resent it, but do it anyway.
When the voting deadline ends (9pm Wednesday 18OCT FWFR time), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced.

Posted - 10/18/2007 : 02:47:21 Whoa. I did not expect that. Thanks.
I'll think up a next film.
I thought Singing was a good choice, too, Whippy. Surprised we didn't get more haikus.

No lurker votes have arrived, so the result can now be announced:
The winner, with 3,2,2 = 7 votes, is the one, the only, the irreplaceable, the poetess with the mostest:
MONTGOMERY!
Over to you for the next round, Em.
[As there were only 4 competitors, and a tie for 2nd place, I thought it best just to announce the winner!] |
Montgomery |
Posted - 10/17/2007 : 14:41:35 Okay. I voted. Was it good for you?
EM :) |

Hmmmm.
Okay. I'll vote. Wait here.

OK, so now we are just waiting on Monty.
Any lurkers wishing to cast ballots better get in fast before the doors of the haiku polling station are slammed shut for another week!

I thought SITR would be well-known and popular for the haiku contest. Guess I was wrong on that one...
OK, everyone, let's get those votes in!

Lina seems classy - until she opens her mouth. And it ain't her teeth.
