The Benefits of FanStory
How Has FS Benefited You contest entry22 total reviews
Comment from Janice Canerdy
Whew! I read this, said "I ain't touchin' that!" left it behind, and came back to it. I gave a 5 because the poem is VERY skillfully-written--no kidding! I must say, though, that a FanStory member who is a full-of-crap liar must have had the lies and crap already within just waiting for a chance to come bursting out. How's that for honesty?!

Lol. Thank you for the fantastic review, Janice. Yeah, I was really just goofing around with the prompt. I wanted to go at it from a different angle that everyone else was going to take. I really appreciate the generous stars. Have a wonderful day.

I am SO relieved to see this response! Thank you. Janice
Comment from Dawn Munro
AAAAAAAaaaaaaaaHAAAHA!!!
Cliche', Olay!
(by Dawn)
Oh surely there is more that you could say.
But then again, with some it won't hold sway
because they're bitten by that 'greedy' bug,
and wish to sweep their deeds beneath a rug.
Accumulating 'dirt' destroys our trust,
much like construction fills my rooms with dust.
But I can sweep and clean my little room -
use criticism, envy as my broom.
Or maybe I should "vacuum" - they've been fooled.
Believe that they know all - 'FanStory schooled'.
Lord, save us from the patty of the bull.
My eyes prefer to 'see' - not drown in wool. :)))

Hahaha. Ain't that the truth? Thank you so much for the great poem review and chuckle, Dawn. I needed that. I dearly appreciate the gracious sixer, D. I was just in one of those moods. Lol. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend and thank you again.
;)

LOL. You are very welcome. You have a great rest-of-the weekend too. :)
Comment from LyndaS
Dear Evil Poet,
Gotta give you a sixer on this. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. This flows and mocks so eloquently. Very well done. "Is manna for my greed." Brilliant. A very enjoyable glimpse into darker side of this place. Loved it!! Lynda
Plus your art just cracked me up. Killer post!

Evil Poet...Hahahaha. Thank you so much for the fantastic review and sixer, Lynda. A friend actually helped me with that line. We laughed and laughed. I'm glad you liked my silly offering. I was just in one of those moods, lol. Thank you again.

Any time.
Comment from LisaMay
Cynical bastard! You harness the greed and manipulative abilities of the baser instincts of our species to tap into and exploit the gullibility of others. Maestro! I am wildly envious of your fanstory dollar stash, as I am of your bullshitting skill. You could probably shit through the eye of a needle, so rich is your deceit.

Hahaha. Yes it is. Thank you so much for the big sixer and for throwing the contest, Lisa. I had fun with it. I couldn't resist, I had to go a different route than everyone else. I was going to point out a lot of stuff here on FS but just this aspect of it took up so much room that I just stuck with this. I dearly appreciate the hilarious review, L. I'm glad you hated my offering, lol. Just joking. Have a great rest of your weekend, Lisa. Thank you again.

Obviously, I'm only joking that I hated your entry. I always LOVE it when someone goes a different route to the expected. We can rely on you for a fart in the face!
-
Hahaha. Yep, the masses will get it. Lol. Have a great day, L.
Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
This is so funny. Doubtless true, but skillfully written even so.
I particularly liked "I've been taught to twist my words".
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Mystic Angel 7777
ROFL! I am pretty sure who the author of this clever satirical poem is and have to ask WHY are you going after yet another 1st place as your current manipulative winning streak should have paid off far well enough. Good luck in the voting and thank you very much for sharing it.

Lol. Thank you, MA. I'll admit, how most of the dumb crap I write ever gets any votes besides my own, I'll never know. But I do like the competition of the site. That's really the only reason why I'm still here after all these years. I really appreciate the gracious stars, Mystic. I'm glad you had a chuckle at this silliness. Have a fantastic rest of your weekend.
Comment from rspoet
An interesting, well written poem with a pointedly different view.
The form is well done in the 8-6 syllable ballad style with excellent rhymes.
Either, biting, cynical, satirical or heartfelt
seems you learned a great deal and have stockpiled much fool's gold.
Enjoy the luster, you may even win this contest to add the your haul. :)
Good luck
Robert

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about the benefits of FanStory and also the loop holes that make us often fall into a trap of spending time and effort that is not always worth the trouble.

Comment from Gail Denham
Really? Funny - thanks for writing. Whether this is truth or not (that you write junk to gain prizes) may be debatable, but the poem read well, rhymed nicely - and you were able to bare your soul. Always a good thing.
