you're the prize

it's considered workshopping not plagiarism; some places don't allow such things as it means the poem was already out there on the wide web. sorry jd i thought members poetry was the only hid from google one though yeah, now i see how can guests can view the forum.

No, not plagiarism.

They decided that the poem had already been published, because they found it on the web. Ah well, it's really their loss.


It's the Irish. If it was raining soup they'd run out with forks.

Oh. Well sounds snobbish to me.

Awe, gee thanks Billy. But what I meant was I want you to make a cake or... A nice poem, as a gift for me gracing the forum with my poetic talent. I was told you were willing so it's too late to renig...

Q, you only get a prize if you win. 3rd place gets a poem, 2nd pace gets a cake, and first place (as billy pointed out) gets you. I don't think there are participation prizes beyond the pleasure of reading all the poems. But we can ask ... Ray???

As the deathstar knows, having participated in the site's NaPM, each person's prize is their own poems and the joy of reading the others. Odd thread to troll when members are working to create something fun to do.

Cake for all, always.

I am not trolling ellajam, I hope there is nothing wrong with wanting a prize, prizes are good. I like cake. As far as prizes being reading and writing poems, we did decide that a poem was the prize for first place


And I honestly didn't know about the Google search issue... so I appreciate people taking the time to fill me in.

We had a couple of new members, Teagan and bedeep, participate in NaPM, but they've disappeared since. I hope they come back.

i'll do it. exciting.
