We're very sorry for our silence of late. The General Admin went on vacation and now we're waiting on votes from a few more judges in order to announce the winners of the Epic Poetry Contest. As the judging stands now, we have a two way tie for both first and second place which is not good as far as dividing prizes goes. Hopefully, a couple of lagging judges come through soon and those ties can be broken. Let me tell you--this is a close race! Again, we will update things as soon as we have the official results. Sorry for the inconvenience (and anxiety for those who entered).

In May, there were an incredible 314 of you from PoetryPlease alone that said you like to either record or have your poetry recorded. 314! Where did you all go? As announced last month, =Writers-Slam, a dA group designed for the sole purpose of airing your poetry in a live podcast, has teamed up with PoetryPlease to provide you their exclusive services. But I've been informed by Amber (:devagmeade), who runs =Writers-Slam, that only one person has submitted. 1 out of 314! Come on everybody! This is a great opportunity to hear your poetry read aloud, either by you or somebody else, so give it a try. What do you have to lose?

There will be no more updates here for the Prosetry, Please Contest. If you haven't already watched the ~LITplease account, you'll want to do that now. In fact, the ~LITplease account was updated right before we updated this one--did you catch that update?

The featured entry for challenge #38 is It's the End of the World by ~maxwerx. Congrats!

If you want to see your poem featured in our favorites, participate in Challenge #39 this month and you may just be selected as the best!
