Well done to everyone who took part...and to my fellow finalists!

I have to say I'm nervous about this Canzone!

I will begin immediately :)
!!! I guess I can't say I'm a poetaster and have people actually believe me, eh?

Ay de m, I wish I could get started, but today and tomorrow are out of the question for working on anything. I'll have to see how the rest of the week shapes up for me. Oh college....

@all the participants: Competition was tough for this one... I'm glad you guys made it so difficult!

@Rysto & Somebody'sAngel: Best of luck to all y'all, and may the best poet triumph.

@Elzu and Moon: What would be the latest you guys want the poems in?
Congrats, g2, Angel :)

My life is sort of shambley atm, so I shouldn't have much trouble finding material for this canzone. Time, on the other hand...
@Arysto and G2: I'm soo glad you two are also short on time...I've been worrying a little over the deadline too...

@Elzu and Moon:I could also really do with knowing the latest you'd want the Canzones in?
Big props to Moonwalker and Elzu for the work put in. I really appreciate it.

I was sad to drop out halfway through, but I wasn't really in the running anyways and thought I would save everyone the trouble of reading my stuff.

I think this was a well run event.
Good news, finalists. Elzu and I have decided to give you a well earned break. Your Canzones won't be due until Monday, October 4th. That gives you seven days to suffer.. uh.. I mean create. Good luck to all three of you. This one's really tough. I know that from experience.

@Buck.
Thanks, Buck. We were sorry to lose you as a poet, but going back to school was a tough time period.

Moon
Yay, time! I love procrastinating! :D



xD
Uhh, just thought to ask, but is the rest of the scoreboard going to be put up?
Group Manager
Yes, sorry Ritu, I'll do it now, I've been a little busy.
Okay. Thanks :)

the 1,2 and 3 are your individual judges scores btw.
@Moon and Elzu

On the previous scoreboards, it says that my score for challenge 2 was 57/60. On the most recent scoreboard, it says only 50/60. If my score really is 57/60, then my overall score should be 251/300.

Can you just look into that?
@Ritu:

the 1, 2, and 3 aren't the round scores. They're the scores that each judge gave you for challenge # 5.
Your accumulated total of all your averaged out scores at the end of challenge # 4, was 195. The average of your 3 judges' scores for challenge # 5, was 49. Therefore, your score of challenge # 5 + total from the previous rounds, = 49+195 = 244/300

I hope that helps.

Moon.
Ohhh. Thank you :) I was kind of confused there :P
Arggghhh.. Out of the finals by one point. Alas. Oh well. I don't mind. I'm not writing here to complain. In fact, I would like to thank the judges for helping me improve my poetry, my fellow poets for providing some of the hardest competition I've ever faced, and Elzu and Moon for organizing the whole thing, which I'm sure must have been quite the Herculean task. I feel like I've learned a lot about writing poetry, and have picked up some skills I might not have picked up otherwise.
Thank you!

Done ><<br />I'm soo nervous! O.o
I have it written up, I just need time to type it up...

Would I be asking too much if I pitifully begged to be able to send in my poem tomorrow morning?
Tomorrow morning will be just fine, G2, since the deadline isn't until noon, PST. tomorrow. Since I don't know where you live, I don't know what time that is in your time zone.
Moon.
