Official Valentines Day comp thread

Alright, forumites!

Can you feel it, coming in the air at night?

Maybe you're getting good vibrations?

Do you know someone who's three times a lady? (it's a glandular thing, apparently)

Like it or loathe it, it's Valentines Day soon (14th Feb). As someone has already suggested it (tinam, I think), and considering how well the Christmas song competition went, I thought I'd take the steps to organise an Valentines Day song competition. A little competition brings out the best in people, I say.

So you wanna enter? Here's how it'll work

First, write your song. It doesn't have to be lovey-dovey, that's amore style, just love related (a bitter, unrequited one from Corsair, perhaps? "I sense much anger in this one...")

Second, post your song on soundclick/youtube/soundcloud, however you'd normally do it.

PM me the link to your song. Tinam (bless her cottons) did an awesome job of keeping all the entries in one thread so people could listen and vote more easily, and I plan on doing the same Smiley

Post on the Reviews section, if you like. Not necessary, as I’ll have all the links, but a little feedback is always nice.

IF YOU DO POST in the Reviews, please please post with “VDay –“ infront of the song title. 20 threads all called valentines song, Valentines Day Song, Valentine song, song for Val and the rest is messy. And we like a nice, tidy forum, don’t we? Plus it’ll be easier to peruse the competition songs if they’re all named VDay – I Love You Like A Goat Loves Cabbages or whatever.

I’ll set up a polling station on Mon 6th with all the PM’d links. Then I’ll tally the votes (bribes welcome. Morgan Spiced rum by preference) and post the result on Mon 13th Feb.

That’s about it. If you’ve never PM’d before, just click My Messages at the top, then New Message, then under ”To:” put Mr.Chainsaw and your message and link to your entry.

Any questions, please ask away. And good luck!

Peter (aka Dr.Luuuuuuuurv)


Everything is easier said than done.

Except talking.

That's about the same.

Re: Official Valentines Day comp thread

Well my thinking was...that a song competition...is a process...to make us all write...

If you tilt your head and squint it all makes sense

Re: Official Valentines Day comp thread

Ooooo I'm liking all this deadline stuff. I didn't think I would because I don't like being pushed, and although

it has me feeling a bit stressed at times it actually gets me working in a good way so I'm in!

This should be an easy one for me as I'm a right soppy romentic bugger underneath all my layers of cynisism :p



To get a review, give some reviews. Give and take. Simples. If that's too complicated........

Re: Official Valentines Day comp thread

May I remind you all that you have only TWO weeks until VDay. I have 5 entries so far, so keep 'em coming!

All you fresh faces to the forum, don't be shy! PM me a link to your entry and get stuck in! It's all about having some fun and pushing each other to write, so have a go!

And remember; you can't spell VDay without VD

Re: Official Valentines Day comp thread

Hi Peter

Can you clarify some dates for me?

In your first post you said, you'll set up the polling station on 6th Feb (which is actually my birthday) so I assumed that this is the last date to submit a song.
Then you go on to say the results will be posted on 13 Feb giving a week for everyone to vote.

OK so far but

The News headline link (whatever you call it) says the deadline is 14th Feb.

So which is the correct deadline 6th or 14th Feb? Is the deadline time midnight on whichever date?  Huh

And just for any new members that may not know - PM means Private Message. See the first post in this thread for instructions.

Justin

Re: Official Valentines Day comp thread

I'm not commenting on any entries yet. I don't want to listen to the other entries until I've completed my own one. But I will. Good luck everyone.  Cool
