The Literari Winter Festival begins here...

*The-Literati:iconThe-Literati: reports, October 10, 2008
I know several of you have mentioned that it may not yet be winter where you are. However this morning there was frost of the inside of my window and I have the flu. This means that it is officially winter for me ^_^

And so, what does The Literati Winter Festival consist of then? Everything!

Starting today is our next big contest The Literati Musical

This was an idea that several of you came out with, the idea of using music as inspiration to create a new piece of literature. So here is your chance…

How to Enter

:bulletgreen: Note *The-Literati with your intention to take part.
:bulletgreen: I will note you back with a song that you are to use in your entry, (those are the two you must use.)
:bulletgreen: Be sure to mention both this contest and the song you were assigned.
:bulletgreen: Send me a note with a link to your piece when you have posted it with the title The Literati Musical.
:bulletgreen: Open for any Literati member to enter.


Rules

:bulletgreen: You may only use the song that you have been assigned. It’s super easy to write a piece based around a song you know and love. A new song will give you a chance to explore new terrain and all that ^_^
:bulletgreen: It can be poetry or prose – The Literati do not discriminate!
:bulletgreen: The contest will end on November 1st 2008 at midnight.

Judging

Judges - :iconthe-literati::iconirrevocablefate:

:bulletgreen: Fate will be judging for how well the song is integrated lyrically, and I will be judging how the mood, tone and style of the song is used.
:bulletgreen: Of course we also want pieces of the highest literary quality, nothing short of the best ^_^

Prizes

There will be more prizes added in the future, for more information check here [link]

:bulletgreen: 3 month subscription - *The-Literati
:bulletgreen: 3 month subscription - ^LadyLincoln
:bulletgreen: A place in *The-Literati gallery.
:bulletgreen: Journal Feature - *IrrevocableFate
:bulletgreen: Journal Feature - ^LadyLincoln
:bulletgreen: Literary Critique - *IrrevocableFate

If anyone would like to donate any more prizes, then please note me

Now get on with it, and note *The-Literati if you want to me involved.

:heart: Are you a writer of poetry or prose? Whether you're just starting out or an old hand - The Literati want you to join now.

Competitions, advice, critiques and tips on how to beat the Block!!
:iconjobobarikan:
These contests and clubs which attempt to somehow interpret a piece of music onto someone else's poetry or prose simply fall way short of any meaningful integration, which in my opinion would be combining the song with a visual format.
The artist of the song has already done that with his piece and projecting another's words onto
that which has already been created seems simply inane.

Now if you assign to me a song from Creative Commons or with artist permission and I can show you what can be done with it both audio and visually-as its what I do.

:icondkegerreis:
The point of the groups The-Literati is for writers- those of us not as gifted in the visual arts as before. And speaking as a person who was able to write a seven page term paper on a Pyramaze album, there is a lot that can be found and worked with within the lyrics of a song that might not always be so obvious.

:iconjobobarikan:
hmmmmmmmmmm I must ponder this!
:icondkegerreis:
Heh, go ahead and ponder away. :) My point is simply that the idea of using a song as inspiration can be very well done, because like prose writers, lyrics don't always say exactly what they mean. For instance, any number of Dragonforce songs could be used to write an epic story! Or a sad song could be used to write a piece about heartbreak and loss.

It's taking what's already said and expanding on it thoughtfully, not just tacking something onto it carelessly. :)

:iconbiju-ai:
Brilliantly said, friend!

You are absolutely right. Writing has such wide capabilities. If you can't draw something, you can more than likely let someone know what you mean by writing about it and inspired stories are of no exception.

Personally, I love working with music as a medium in my writing. It gives me something to base a story OFF of instead of trying to think of something on my own.

If laughter is the best medicine, why does it hurt so much to laugh? :lmao:
:iconnose-dive:
And the main point of this contest is to write a piece inspired by the song, right?
:iconirrevocablefate:
I'm so excited! :iconeagerplz:

Hello world! I love you. :eager:
