Suggestion: A new type of contest

[InfiniteNow]

Hello Hypography Staff and Members,

 

I've noticed that the recent attempts at photo contests haven't really gained much traction. Further, and not to take anything away from the amazing contributions we've had from our wonderful members, nor from the winners of any of the competitions, these photo contests really aren't saying much when one takes first or second place in a field of four or five contributors.

 

 

That said... I have an idea for a new type of competition.

 

 

 

Best short-story through smilies. No text, no pictures, just creative use and placement of the Hypography smilies to form a cohesive short story.

 

 

You give everyone a fiscal quarter to provide their entries, and limit each contributor to one post. Then, you close the thread and open a vote. Membership chooses the best across a 2 week period (with frequent bumps from the organizer).

 

 

:lol: :)

Cheers. :cup:

I like your idea and your story as well ;)

Excellent idea!

 

...although it doesn't seem like something I'd be good at. I'll still vote however!:)

Wondering if anyone gets what I mean...

You enjoy the idea, but are unsure if others support it. This is perhaps your version of a "bump" asking for more opinions to be shared?

Well, I'm not so bad at it then! What I meant is days go by but so far only 3 people who joined.

Cool! I read it quite differently, but such is the way of words and interpretations, eh?

 

I have no idea what your is....

 

Someone is listening to some music

It makes someone else roll their eyes

They listen on

Despite embarrassment

The music plays on

Reading the script

Playing the song

Of broken hearts

And dildo shots

Wow

It's like crashing everything

And going to sleep

With a coffee kettle and a cup

Rambling jokers take the soapbox

What are you going to do/ Na-na-na-nah

I *am* smiling

It's a neat idea, but you'll sleep on it (perchance to dream) and watch to see how it does, with a few bumps.

???

 

Would bracketing a string of emoticons (emons?), with two of the same emon, turns the string into a descriptor of the brackets?

...or vice versa maybe....

 

p.s. ...ooops, I only read the first few posts.

...back to page one to catch up!!! :dumbass:

I thought it was that your wife had caught you spending too much time on the computer (but I'm projecting). :)

It's like reading a book with no spaces between the words.

Would this format make the message clearer?
