Loki Wyrd Posted May 14, 2005 Report Posted May 14, 2005 I just wrote a wicked opener. Come on, people, let's get some more slammers.
Zariah Posted May 15, 2005 Report Posted May 15, 2005 Is there any particularday of the week this is starting? (Just need to know so I can prep Zariah for reading apoem and so she can prep the staff....)
reverie Posted May 15, 2005 Author Report Posted May 15, 2005 I was going to start it up next week but I remembered, i had a wedding obligation to attend so I'll will be out of town for a few days... plus I still waiting to hear back from couple people that said they wanted to participate, but have not clarified their posistions... So with all that I'll probably launch the first thread the week beginning the 22nd of May... That should be enough time for people to think over their roles and poems and what not... thoughts? rev...
Loki Wyrd Posted May 15, 2005 Report Posted May 15, 2005 Take as much time as you want/need, you don't want to rush it.
drummondo Posted May 15, 2005 Report Posted May 15, 2005 I'll do the open mic thing with a piece I've already posted here if that's alright, cos I have an audio version and everything ready. And yeah, sign me up for the slam, but prepare for some sick rhymes
Loki Wyrd Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 (edited) Just so long as they don't make me sick... Mine shall be wrenchlike in their lapsing absence--none of that assonance either. Hopefully we can find at least one more slammer to give us 5. Edited May 16, 2005 by Loki Wyrd
Mynx Posted May 16, 2005 Report Posted May 16, 2005 Ok maybe I'm just blind but...has the Quest been started? If so, where's the thread? ~Tired and confused kitty
cryptomancer Posted May 17, 2005 Report Posted May 17, 2005 ok. I give the slam thing a go. I may even add a open mic piece, we see how time and ispiration takes hold.
Vlad Posted May 17, 2005 Report Posted May 17, 2005 rev - I think I'll go for that open mic thing. It'll be fun!
reverie Posted May 19, 2005 Author Report Posted May 19, 2005 Cool, thanx everyone... I"ll off to a wedding for the weekend... I"m best man... woohoo! Not sure, if I can meet the May 22 start date, but I will try to get the ball rolling next week... Thanks for all your patience... rev...

Loki Wyrd Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 I have a question about the judging (sorry if it's already been answered). If a poet advances to the second round, will the determination of the winner only take into account the last poem? I would think it would be best to tally up the point total for both poems.
reverie Posted May 21, 2005 Author Report Posted May 21, 2005 Sorry it's one poem considered per round... so points from the previous rounds will not be added into the next round... As I understand it, that's how most slam competitons work... Most ppl save they're strongest work for last... rev...
Loki Wyrd Posted May 21, 2005 Report Posted May 21, 2005 (edited) Alrighty then. I now have 2 MP3s waiting to be unleashed, either in slam or open mic, depending on my fate. Ready when you are, rev. Edited May 22, 2005 by Loki Wyrd
reverie Posted May 22, 2005 Author Report Posted May 22, 2005 oh, am nix'ing the Audio for the official Quest... See opening thread of this post for my reasons... However, am not opposed having the poems hosted on separate thread for the enjoymet of all... rev...
Loki Wyrd Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 (edited) Damn your eyes! One of the few times I write something specifically to be read aloud...well, one of them at least. Thankfully, I also have them in good old fashioned text format. Edited May 23, 2005 by Loki Wyrd
