The SotF Song Contest #13

#1

Post by Fenris »

hey what's up hey hi hello guess who's back back again fen is back tell a friend e t c welcome to

THE 13TH SOTF SONG CONTEST

did u know that that's the maximum font size on the new board? it's not even that big jeez way to ruin the dramatic tension

anyway, rules come first, and they're literally copied directly from contest #11 because there's no real reason to change them, but if you need a refresher take a look:

(one note because it came up in the last contest a lot: submitting via pm Or discord is fine. whichever yall want, no need to ask for permission)
[+] da rulez
- submit your song via PM or discord, whichever's easier for you

- songs will be randomly divided into 2 or 3 semifinals depending on turnout. if you're going to be away at some point in the next couple of weeks, let me know and I can try to put your song in a round when you'll be here.

- listen to every song and give points to your top 10 favorites: 12 to your favorite, 10 to your second, 8 to your third, 7 to your fourth, and so on down to 1 point for your tenth favorite.

- if your song is in a given round, you must vote that round or you'll be eliminated. if your song isn't in that round (or you aren't in the contest at all), your vote will be counted as a public vote, which counts for half points.

- the top [x] songs will move on to the final. that number depends on the number of contestants. I'm gonna be trying to pare down the finals a bit this time around so that probably means more semifinal eliminations. you have been warned

- repeat the process for the finals and we get a winner.

- winner gets to hold the next contest, or they can pass the job along to 2nd place if they don't want to. 2nd place can pass down to third, etc, until someone wants to host.

song rules:
- no eurovision songs
- no reality show/competition covers
- no songs already submitted in a songtest
- there is no penalty for length in this contest. however, if a song goes over 7 minutes, listeners aren't obligated to listen to more than the first 7 minutes of the song. so choose a long song at your own risk!

each semifinal and the final will last for four days. some rules about activity/extensions:
- if you know at the start of your semifinal that you wont be available to vote for those four days, let me know asap and I can move you to another semi, if we aren't on the final one already.
- I'll be posting every 24 hours in this topic as a reminder, as well as pinging everyone who hasn't voted on discord 24 hours before the round ends.
- extensions will only be granted in extenuating circumstances. forgetting to vote until an hour before deadline is not an extenuating circumstance.
I'm your third-time songtest master Fen who actually earned the position this time wow incredible??? also legally since I defeated Kotori I think I'm a god now. okay anyway

themes. we got themes. I already told yall what the theme is so I'm not gonna keep up the suspense too long:

our theme is SONGS FROM THE LAST YEAR. this one's pretty straightforward: all songs for this contest have to have been released between August 18th, 2017 and, well, whatever date submissions end. songs from games or other media that were released this year do count for this contest, though songs that were released previously and reused for media this year don't. remixes that were released this year of older songs do not count, but remixes of songs from this year are fine. covers that were released this year for older songs also don't count. songs that sample older songs are fine. basically, if in doubt, send me the song and I'll make a judgement call.

if you wanna sign up, throw me a song via pm or discord and/or optionally post in this thread. names in italics have signed up but haven't submitted songs. contest will start in a few days depending on how many people sign up, how quickly they submit songs, and my general songtest god whims. do ur best yall I believe in u

So what if all we ever draw is a nude man, or the same nude man over and over in all sorts of provocative positions? Context, not content! Process, not subject!

It was difficult to nail down exactly when the anger started. Remembering a time when it wasn't there, coiled up and waiting to strike or alive and thrashing, was growing more and more challenging. It'd been with her for so long that it no longer felt like an intruder in her mind. It felt like a part of her.
