Subject: Queen Parody Contest - Entries Accepted Until July 15th

Written By: Silver Power on 07/05/06 at 6:42 pm

Yep, that's right. A Queen parody contest.

READ THE RULES BEFORE ENTERING!

Here are the rules:

Post a link for a parody of a Queen Song that you've made.

Entries will be accepted until July 15, at 11:59pm.

Voting will then go on from July 16 at 12:01am until July 23 at 11:59pm.

You must comment on all the entered parodies.

Voting will be like this:

You rate your 3 favorite parodies. You put a number next to the name of the author who wrote the parody.

Put a 3 next to your favorite Parodies Author's name, 2 next to your second favorite, and 1 next to your third.

You cannot vote for yourself.

Here's where the twist comes in:

EACH PARODY AUTHOR CAN SUBMIT UP TO 2 QUEEN PARODIES. HOWEVER, WHEN VOTING GOES ON, YOU CAN ONLY VOTE FOR EACH PARODY AUTHOR ONCE IN YOUR 3 VOTES. THE 2 PARODIES ARE LIKE A SAFETY NET. INCASE ONE SUCKS (LET'S CALL THEM THE 'SILVER PARODIES'), YOUR OTHER HAS A CHANCE TO BE SOMEONE'S FAVORITE (THEY SHALL BE NAMED THE 'MALCOLM PARODIES')

CONFUSED?

FIGURE IT OUT.


I will enter the contest also, just because I like the theme. Sort of like Dr. Frankestein 'doing' his own creation. Ha.

Sorry, but I'll be sitting this one out. Five words for you: January SOTM

Ironic that your entry that month was a Queen song.......

1...That was 1 word a 4 letters, dude.

No disrespect.

I wasn't gonna enter that parody. I was gonna use a different one.

Fair enough and none taken.

Yes, they are. I didn't assume you were going to enter that parody.

Perhaps not, but I'm fairly certain I can read contest rules. I hope your reading and comprehension skills have improved since January; I imagine it would be pretty embarrassing to be DQed from your own contest for failing to comment on all parodies and vote in time, like happened in Jan SOTM.

Now, in the immortal words of Freddie Mercury, "carry on, carry on". And good luck in the contest.

I appreciate it. I couldn't comment, I got grounded.

But, in the words of Freddie Mercury, 'The Show Must Go On'.
