Welcome to PoeticalCondition's Journal!
I even gave you guys an extra day! 
I will now tally the names and numbers. Winners will be announced in about a week! If you have any last minute entries, feel free to note me (RiseandBe) with them in the next 24 hours (from the moment I post this blog). Any later than that and I will NOT accept them.
Thank you all for participating!
----------------
Only one more week to enter, or submit the last of your entires to our contest! We've had some really fantastic participation. I can't wait to tally the points and announce the winners! But first, YOU need to get those last minute entries submitted! Some of the "Ways To Enter" are no longer applicable, so be sure to check the updated list below.
Also, the prizes have been updated!!! We are still open to donations, however, this is most likely the finalized prize list.
See you in another week, lovelies!
For those of you who loved this contest, and/or are looking for more ways to get involved. Be sure to check out my brand new group The ComeTogetherProject launched this week!
-----------------
Welcome to PoeticalCondition's Gigantic Generosity Giveaway!
Now with another way to enter AND an updated prize list!!!
This is different from anything we've done before - part giveaway, part contest, tons of prizes, no judges. Whether or not you win will be based a little on luck and A LOT on how much you participate!
We are getting to be such a large group (over 1,000 members!!!), I wanted to do something that would encourage participation as well as a sense of community.
Winners (first, second and third) will be randomly chosen based on a generator that you enter names into. I will enter your name once, for every way in which you enter (more details below).
Now, let's get started!
Ways To Enter [CLOSED] 1. Enter =TwilightPoetess's Contest.
You can find information on that here: fav.me/d6g2zzg
It ends before this contest does, so make sure you pay close attention to the date. Also, You MUST specify that you are from PoeticalCondition, so she can tell me that. Otherwise, you wont get credit for it here!
2. Write a title poem using ONLY titles of poems found in PoeticalCondition's gallery.
You can find information on what exactly a title poem is, how to write one and what rules apply here: fav.me/d5uj94k or at TheTitlePage.
Please follow the rules closely! Especially including links to the original pieces, so we can verify that they are from our gallery.
3. Write a poem inspired by, or responding to another poem from PoeticalCondition's gallery.
Make sure you remember to link to the piece you were responding to/inspired by in your author's comments, so that we can verify that it's in our gallery.
4. Write a form poem from this list of forms: fav.me/d5maa7d
Specify which form you chose in your author's comment.
5. Leave an in-depth comment or critique on a poem found in PoeticalCondition's gallery.
Can be done multiple times. Will count each comment/critique separately towards your total entries. For specifications as to what counts as an in-depth comment or critique, see rules 7 and 8 below.
**To get a direct link to a comment/critique, click the time stamp next to your name (where it says "1 minute ago" for example) on the comment, then copy the URL (if you need more help with this, please feel free to ask).**
6. Leave a review on the profile page of a member of PoeticalCondition.
Information on reviews can be found here: fav.me/d5rgbem

8. Donate a prize to this contest!
I hate to say it, but I'm not accepting llamas for this one. You can donate llamas, but you wont get an entry for it. I don't need a million llamas to giveaway. You know? People value other prizes more.
You CAN donate points (directly to the winners, OR through the donation pool on RiseandBe's profile {if done this way, please specify that they are for the contest}), features, comments,
's, 
's, comissions or anything else you can think of.
You will get automatic credit for donation unless you specify otherwise.
9. Participate in disrhythmic's Project Crazy Wonderful!
For information, follow this link: fav.me/d6golf4
DO NOT forget to tell her you are from PoeticalCondition when you participate. If you forget, there will be no way for you to receive credit for it! You do not have to note me about it, she will verify for me. (If anyone else is doing this and would like to also be included as a way to enter, please contact RiseandBe asap!)
10. Submit a Compliment over at dACompliments!
You can use the widget on their front page OR click the button at the end of each of their journal updates.
You can compliment any one, not exclusive to PoeticalCondition members.
You cannot compliment anonymously if you want to be counted for this competition (Obviously, I will need to know who you are).
You may compliment as many people as you like, each compliment will be counted separately as an entry for this contest.
You MUST remember to include (GGG) [with the parenthesis] at the end of the compliment, after you sign with your dA username. If you forget this part, your compliment will not be able to be counted as an entry.
To break it down for you, if you do all of the above one time your name will be entered into the contest 10 times.
However, some of the ways to enter can be done more than once, so potential entries are technically unlimited.
The more times you enter, the more chances you have to win!
