    Thanks Larry

    I am going to create the posts now, for each team. But I will edit them in the morning and add the prompts into them.

    PLEASE DO NOT POST IN THE THREADS UNTIL THE TIME STATED, WHICH WILL BE TOMORROW.

    I will make the time 8am UK time. Until Friday night 8pm (Uk time) But to clarify times I will post the word GO onto each thread at 8am. Poems entered before my word GO, will not be counted.

    Do you need another person? Let me know if so. :)

  • The Princess

    I was just about to ask the same, Narph. Can we add one more person to our team?

  • Baby Rainbow
    10 years ago

    Narph you can join M&M's.... Then all teams have 5 people!

    Princess - Fop already has 5 members. So I will make the teams even this time. Then next time, it will simply be club to club, regardless of numbers. :)

    HELP!

    So much for everyone thinking it was impossible to get to 100 poems in days!! We have just about got there in 1 day!!

    (Well done for participation)

    Shall we keep it running until Friday night, and just see who has the most poems??

    Please discuss and let me know ASAP.

  • Britt

    I don't think FOP can ever write another poem after the 100..

  • Kakera
    10 years ago

    Trust me, we thought it was impossible too. Around 40, I started joking to myself about it, telling myself that the pace was bound to die out, but no, certainly doesn't seem like it!

    I think it should be kept going even after though, if nothing else because of us in FOP having an unfair advantage regarding time zones, LOL.

  • Baby Rainbow
    10 years ago

    I will leave it running then until Friday. And the winner will simply be the club with the most poems. This way M&M's might be able to get started.

    I think all clubs will battle with time differences, but it is all still fun and it helps newer writers learn to write on the spot from prompts!

    The work you are all producing is great!

    I will leave this running until Friday night like planned. The club with most poems wins.

    The only thing is, someone in your own club will have to post their 2nd thread after 100 posts, just in case I am not on at the time and your thread gets locked??

  • Britt

    Pffffffffffft. Okay.

  • Kakera
    10 years ago

    Somehow, I predict us in FOP having a writer's block for the coming six months. I'd be surprised if the urge to keep going past 100 is here, lol.

  • Baby Rainbow
    10 years ago

    Well you 2 are from the same club and saying different lol... so which one is it?? 100 - or by Friday???

    does anyone else have an opinion?

    Let me know ASAP please. Or I will declare the winner at 100 poems.

  • Kakera

    I didn't actually mean us continuing, I meant in general, as in not shutting the competition down entirely. If we assume the ceiling is hit tonight, it's so far away from the deadline that it's reasonable for the runner-ups to keep going, since we kind-of just rushed ahead out of nowhere.

  • Baby Rainbow
    10 years ago

    Ah right sorry, ok. Get you now. So I will keep it running for 2nd and 3rd place then?

  • Kakera
    10 years ago

    Assuming we don't die out of fatigue before the coming 20 remaining poems are out, yes, that's what I think!

    But we're still 20 short, so it's not impossible that we literally die out of fatigue before reaching the end.

  • Saerelune
    10 years ago

    I actually don't know what the original intent of this competition was? I simply started writing lol. Do keep in mind that, if the original intent was to reach a hundred posts, we have some error-posts in our thread due to double-posting. o.O

    On a side note, if it was to see who would clear 100 prompts first, I think it's a bit unfair since most of our members had some advantage in the time difference. :P Perhaps the amount of hours needed to clear 100 prompts should be calculated.

  • Kakera
    10 years ago

    It was to get us writing, I think? If it was, it certainly worked for us anyway.

    But the intent was 100 poems, but we're keeping count! Almost there!

  • Baby Rainbow
    10 years ago

    The original intent was first club to 100 poems, over 4 days, but everyone thought that would be impossible and too much! Ha! So I then suggested the club with the most poems by the end of the 4 days, would win.

    But I am going to stick with the 100 post as that was the original plan.

    My ultimate goal??? I just wanted people to be active and take part... mwah ha ha :)

    Lol I'm going to have writer's block again God i was having it and making more than 5 was a challenge

  • Baby Rainbow
    10 years ago

    Don't give up!

    THIS IS STAYING OPEN FOR 2ND AND 3RD PLACE.

    M&M'S GET WRITING!!

  • Kakera
    10 years ago

    We actually did it. That's crazy. Even more so due to the fact that 98 of said poems were written and posted within the time limit of 7 hours. Jesus Christ, our club is full of mad people!

  • Britt
    10 years ago

    We might be seriously crazy.

  • Narph
    10 years ago

    Congrats to the 2 winning teams.

    The poetry out of this was amazing. I will try to catch up with as many as I can. There were few that stood out to me.

    I am surprised the site never broke down with all the activity ;)
