It's getting cold out and CCP virus lockdown measures are increasing. How will you keep occupied while stuck inside? By writing poetry of course. The Winter Solstice will soon be upon us, Praise be to Huanchi!
The nerd I am, I would have liked to make the contest deadline be the Winter Solstice but if that is the case I should have started this about a week ago to have a full month entry window, so I'm making the deadline December 31st instead.
I could have started the contest on the solstice but then there is a big overlap with the January-February writing contest, so we'll go with starting now and ending on New Year's Eve.
The Theme
There is none. Choose whatever theme you like so long as it is at least somewhat related to Lizardmen, Seraphon, Salamanders or Saurian Ancients.
The Rules
There are none. (Apart from the following)(So in actual fact there are some rules, I lied to you, I am sorry)
-Keep your poem to an artistic minimum. Word count wont be stressed about too much in here, but ideally the poem should be more than two lines.
-Keep it anonymous. Don't use your own name in the poem or use someone else's name throw them off the scent
-Keep Lizardmen in the story or some aspect of their world / lore.
-Keep visuals and images to a minimum or none at all this is a poetry competition.
-Keep em coming,
-Multiple entries are allowed from the same person!
(limit of three per person though just for sanity's sake)
The winner will be decided by public vote at the end of the deadline -December 31st 2020, midnight US Central Time. Please send a private message to me, @Scalenex to send a submission. Probably have voting open for two to three weeks.
I aim to do these twice a year. Next one will likely be around the Summer Solstice in honor of mighty Chotec.
