CLOSED - Challenge 3 - The Dark
Challenge: 03
Theme: The Dark
Who can take part?: Writers ONLY
Define/explain The dark, in five lines. This can be poetry, a short story or whatever you feel inspired to write.
Two simple rules, all writing to be 5 [five] lines, not four or six, but five and no accompanying images, not even in the descriptions please.
Deadline: Saturday 15th December 2007, 9.00 pm GMT
If your entry isn’t in by that time, consider yourself disqualified.
Tags: You MUST tag your entry with CCW3. If you do not tag your work, it will not show up in our list and so, it will not be included in the judging or the public poll so it must be tagged
Restrictions: You may only have ONE ENTRY PER CHALLENGE!
Guidelines: You MUST follow the RedBubble code of conduct and our group guidelines as stated below:
No pornographic, offensive or abusive material
Please show respect for your fellow Bubblers and mods while making comments
Moderator decisions are absolute and final
Tips: Let your imaginations run wild! Try to explain the dark to us, as if we do not know the Theme.
So, what are you waiting for? Start uploading and tagging your entries!

Can I get something clarified. At the start you say, five lines, and then you say five sentences. To me, both those things are different, especially with the way I tend to write (fairly short lines, and sentences that span 2-3 lines).
Julie Langford
Five short sentences.
Peter Nowak
So to clarify (yet more :-)
The following, be prose in three sentences would not meet the guidelines?
About this quest I am confused,
how many words or lines to use.
Should I then just pass it by,
or give the thing a dang good try?
I Know not!

Mark German
Not to be picky – but does this need to be a ‘description’ of ‘dark’, or will Dark in general suffice?
Mark German

Sorry, I’m confused about the layout. Is it 5 lines, 5 sentences, or either?
my entry
Five sentences, but many lines.
RedEarth
Accepted, neat-o! thanks for the prompt response :)
Damian
Hi group mods, this journal is tagged as ‘CWW3’, not ‘CCW3’, which may have misled a few members, who also have tagged their entry this way. You may have to help them out there.
Challenge Master
Thanks Damian – found it now, and changed it – Thank you for letting me know.

quick question:
this is stated at the bottom of the challenge:
Tips: Let your imaginations run wild! Try to explain the dark to us, as if we do not know the Theme.
i must be a complete idiot because i take this to mean our descriptions/definitions were to be attempted without naming the theme/what we were describing and yet over 90% of the entries do just that so am i not understanding what you intended here?

How in heavens do I tag!!??? First the rules are confusing and now this. CWWW3, Cw3, CCWWW###, what the f..k!
So here is what I have written.
If someone knows how to tag, please advise or, shoot the moderator!
“A dispatch from 000, a woman was being assaulted, so they patched me through. I could hear her screaming and tried to intercept: “Get out of there, now!!” “I can’t, the doors locked!” Then a savage sound, a sigh and a plea to get it over with. Death’s graffiti sprayed on every wall and we were too late but he just sat there smiling, eyes glazed beyond dark.”
