Where's the shindig?

Tue Aug 14, 2007, 11:53 PM
Here's the shindig:
You be one of the first five people to comment on this journal, and I will feature you here! Being featured means I link to you, state my thoughts on your work, and I will link to a couple of my favourite pieces of yours! It'll be cool, I promise!

Also, if you claim a spot, you have to do the same thing in your journal.

(You're really supposed to do 10, but I don't get that much traffic by hear. Also, I uploaded a bunch of my old poetry today so that I would have more then 3 deviations for peaple to look at. When I can get ahold of some of my old photography, I'll upload that too.)

Thankyou very much for the add. :)

And for the help with the poetry-dot-ripoffs.

They are spamming by note noiw, so the more people who know what they really are, the better. :)

*Grins* Just wait until I'm awake enough to read your poetry. ^__^ (I could do it now, but you won't get more then a "Nice Poem" out of me with these glazed 2am eyes.)

As for poetry.com... it's one thing for them to do what they do, it's another when they drop all this crap around my community to try and reel people in.

';Preciate you adding me back!

OMG! you're a GENIUS! Why don't you join the poetry contest from [link] ? Free to enter, 100k prize. You MUST win it!
:iconkingscandlestick:
Because Poetry.com is kinda scamish... Their contests are like the junk mail you get that says
"You may have already won $100 000!!" or
"You have won One Million!!"
And then inside the envelope...
"Thats what you'll probably be saying if you send in your confirmation number..."

What poetry.com does after you sign up for a contest is send you emails and snail mail about how great your poem was and how they're going to publish it in this wonderful quality limited edition book that you can buy for $X.xx

But the thing is, that book will never grace the shelves of my local library or a chapters or Barnes and Noble in my city. That 'exquisitely bound' book of poetry will only ever be sold by Poetry.com to saps who will sell their left arm to buy a book with their poetry in it that they believe will be fully published.

Years ago I signed up for Poetry.com, and things just seemed fishy. I've often meant to submit a really really poor poem just to hear them say...

"Cyrik Riand! I read your poem, 'Junked Garbage' and I was in awe! I loved it so much that I just had to include it in our next volume of fine poetry, 'Winter Sojourn'.

((Then they introduce the book, tell you how great it is, and after that tell you that you can buy this wonderful book with your poetry in it for all your frieinds and family to see, hear's the price. We take Visa, Mastercard, and Firstborn.))

That rant against Poetry.com aside, I REALLY Appreciate your comment! ^__^ Let me know if you come across any other poetry contests out there.

(And I always have to ask this question cuz I'm always curious, how did you find my page?)

In other news, it appears that ~laurythompson is a spambot that's hit about 2.5k Deviants within the last 10 hours.

Poetry.com is most definaitly a scam. Check out the following link for details.
