This is a very interesting concept. However, it is a sad truth that real history is actually being rewritten these days. It shows up in school textbooks and indoctrinates millions of school kids to hate America. One wonders when Thanksgiving is going to be abolished. Sigh. Best wishes in the contest!

"Contest Contest Entry" is an amazing description of what the title has to say, but as it goes into facts the vocabulary sticks to unchangeable terms. It leaves with absolutely nothing more to say.

This rating does not count towards story rating or author rank.
The highest and the lowest rating are not included in calculations.

    I have no idea what you are trying to say with this review or why you gave me four stars. Can you clarify why you rated me low on this.

    Sorry, I guess I just didn't quite understand it.

This does sound like fun, and should bring up an enormous range of interesting topics. Hopefully not war, as we have probably had more than enough war poems for the time being - maybe that could be excluded.
Thank you for your suggestion. Good wishes for the contest.

History is a wonderful topic; it covers a range of many countries. There are several events that take place during the year in many countries. We don't always hear about some of the events but thank goodness for the browser.

this is an excellent idea for an original contest. Your entry spells out clearly word count needed and three important details. Adding the bit about 'fictionalizing' to a points adds to the interest.

I never knew you could set up a contest within your own portfolio.

Wait. You can't.

So, I'm slow on the uptake but this is either


A) A humorous send up of contests in general?

Or

B) A cantankerous or sardonic skewering of
contests and themes on site?

I just can't tell!

Hence, I would fail at a "Contest Contest" I do believe!

Hats off to out of the box thinkers though!

(This is my third attempt to review this...either the site is crashing or I am!)

Hope this one doesn't disappear on me when I hit "save."

This is a very clever idea for this contest, good luck. I think there could be a lot of entries. There are some very good writers here who could provide some interesting work. But why more than 350 words? If it is good enough with fewer word count wouldn't that be, okay? Great Idea!

    think any historical event with some research should be worth 350 words. Thank you for reading and reviewing this entry.

This is different for sure...what an idea...If this is serious I am sure many will enter their offerings. But I think it is an entry for a FS contest and a clever one that catches the eye and tweaks the imagination. It is most certainly unique and a good entry...best of luck to you!

Awesome. I think you should organize a contest like this. I believe it would draw attention.

Excellent creative imagery. Loved the idea. Loved your humor in the contest title.

Good luck in the competition.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Wow! As I read this I thought... This is a great idea. Why didn't you DO the idea instead of telling us you WANT TO DO the idea.

Being the sometimes smarter fellow that I sometimes am, I clicked on the instructions for this particular writing contest.

I think I would enter this one.
