didn't think of that. I was just trying to come up with a contest that everyone could do.
actually, everyone can write. not that it's easy, but yeah, everyone can. like anything else, you just have to keep at it until you get good. trust me, it took me a long time to get to the level i'm at.

I have NO IDEA if you've ever won or placed in Comp, Lady Senior Mod...
(I'd be MOST SURPRISED if you have not...)
And I GET THE IDEA of EXEMPTING past winners, (but I wonder then are we OVER-POLICING ourselves?) There are two sides to this issue.
One side says we favor Mods... (We seriously don't) If anything, (and THE TOP TABLE WILL CONFIRM IF YOU ASKED THEM...) mark the A-Team harder (Mod and non-Mod) to encourage the newer ones... But, (fuck it...) I'm a fucking comp judge and I CANNOT consider anything but the submission... I COULD NOT GIVE A FUCK WHO WROTE IT!!! I mark on merit.
The other side says we HAMMER the ones who WE KNOW kick ass and favor newer submissions. I think most judges, (and this is just my experience...) do that... But, at the end of the day, it's about the work. We simply CAN'T ignore quality work just because it's submitted by people we've asked to get involved because they are frankly fucking special at what they do...
The Comp judging process is FUCKING INVOLVED... It's a fucking Law Court, I'm not kidding! By the time we get to a top-ten list there have been FIGHTS! (I'm guessing I've been involved in perhaps the last TEN comps. Know how many I called absolutely correctly? NOT A FUCKING ONE!) Know how many decisions I've disagreed with? Not a single one...)
That's how it works...
YOU NEVER LOOK AT WHO WROTE THE PIECE!!!
There is a TRULY ORGANIC way to judge comp. Does it meet the brief? Is it presented well in terms of a READ, (syntactically and grammatically). Does it TICK all the boxes? Can you FEEL it? IS IT LUSH? If it IS then you're in...
Couldn't give A FUCK who you are... All I CARE ABOUT is THE READ... (I have to, AND CAN DEFEND, every single call...)
I LIKE the idea of a VIRGIN COMP and think that's an idea we should explore...
But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't think we favor people! WE SIMPLY DON'T!!! ( I have BEAT DOWN people I LOVE!!!)
(I've have NOTEPADS full of notes on various Comp calls... EVERY STORY REVIEWED AND CONSIDERED AND THEN PLACED AND RATED!!! Submitted, considered, discussed... LIKE BEING IN COLLEGE!)
I HATE it when people say, "Oh, the Mods always win..." (Not least because I was a long serving Mod and I never won!!!) But they simply just don't.
Come in and BLOW US AWAY! (That would be the best thing EVER! And NON-MODS place!!!) Then they'd probably make you a Mod!!! *LAUGHS!* So we're FUCKED again!
But to return to topic...
Uniforms, Virgins, May-September and Workplace.

i never ever have doubted the intergraty of the judging. actually, what i should have said is all past winners would be exempt, not all mods. *shrugs* just thought that it would be nice to have some sort of 'virgin' comp going. just a thought. and yeah, i've either placed or almost placed (got a few 4ths in some of the comps) with everything i've entered, with the exception of Ice. i actually intentionally sit some of them out for that very reason - that and i have no fucking ideas worth entering with.

Ok here's my list.
Collaberation
True Stories
Mystery
Old Young
Revenge
Seduction
Fan Fiction
And how about a new talent comp where Mods and previous winners can't enter. Kinda like the Jr. Tournament at Wimbledon.
a few things - we don't do fan fiction.
also, i don't recall if i meant to suggest it and forget or if i actually did suggest it, that we do a comp where past winners and mods are exempt? i think it's something i wouldn't hate seeing, honestly.

sprite, I can not swim either. See how in Louisiana, we are mostly water. That is very bad. I also want to learn bag pipes, and the tharimin. I think I spelled that wrong. But I would start the most annoying band ever.
my wife used to swim competatively in HS. my issue is that i'm afraid of the water. that said, it was something i really wanted to get over, so she began teaching me a few years ago - she has a lot of patience. i'm a crap swimmer, but i will go into the pool now and enjoy it. also, we went to hawaii last year and went snorkling. It was amazing. i panicked a bit at first, but got over it and really loved it. it's never too late to learn.
ps. it's spelled theremin. and they're totally cool. not sure how they'd go with bagpipes - be fun to torture your neighbors with, i imagine.

Two years, ago this past March. I was a freshman in college, and had a deep betrayal by someone I thought was a friend. That along with college pressure, I tried to kill myself. I spent two months in the psyche ward. while there, my older brother told me that I was nothing but a disappointment, that he is ashamed of me. Sprite honey, and everyone else. You are not alone. You have people that care. Yes you have ass holes, but they will make you stronger. Once again, I love all of y'all, and there is not a damn thing you can do about it.
i was in psych eval for 3 days. 2 months... just... i can't even imagine. *hugs* you know, i'm not always the nicest person in here, i can be an asshole myself at times, that's an honest assessment, but fuck, anyone who goes through that, who bounces back, who keeps going, isn't a disappointment and has nothing to be ashamed of. screw your brother. you have plenty to be proud by keeping it going, girl.

everything i write comes from somewhere, and i don't mean the ether of nothingness - it comes from experiences, from dreams, from people or places or things i've known. not that i knowingly pull things from my experiences and write about them, but how could i write about something i know nothing about? when ever i do that, i read up on it first, so once again, i am playing the scavenger. when i did Ice, i read about Stalingrad. When I did the Grimm stories, i read up on fairy tales. When I did Paris, i hit up Dancing Doll for high end fashion tips. nothing comes from nothing, even if we aren't aware of what that nothing is.
so yeah, move over and save me a glass in writer's hell. i'll be there soon as i'm done with what i'm doing.
