Winner: "Clarity Through a Cinnamon Mist"

The horizon is clear. The winner of "Clarity Through a Cinnamon Mist" is:

JeffScape


Congratulations! Now he can quit being embarrassed for winning the last one by forfeit! Check out the winning entry here:  

Oh, and here:

JeffScape's Muse will be announced on March 1st. As forewarned, we're doing something a bit different for February (and quite a bit more difficult).

Stay tuned!

Voting: "Clarity Through a Cinnamon Mist"

Things are clearing up. So take a minute to refresh yourself with the entries, and reflect upon which are your favorites.



The Bamboo Sea (#10) is the final entry. Anyone else can stay obscured and hope the scent doesn't turn into something else.

Vote for your top 3. To clarify, Yodood and JeffScape have each submitted two separate entries, but links #7 and #8 are considered one entry.

Winner announced on the 29th!

Reminder: "Clarity Through a Cinnamon Mist"

Marco! Polo! Hmm... it still smells like someone's making ginger snaps.

Three days left until voting!



Also, remember that the winner of "Clarity Through a Cinnamon Mist" might be picking the muse (translation: topic/theme) for early March, as we're hammering away at something different for February. Nothing's finalized yet, though, so keep reading these notices.

Rule Addition: In light of the fact that we're a motivational creative group (hopefully, anyway), we'll be adding a rule following the completion of this muse that will take effect February 1st, 2010. Simply put, submissions must be new works, so please don't link older pieces.

That stated, definitely feel free to share anything you'd like to with us in the comment sections.

"Clarity Through a Cinnamon Mist"

JeffScape, due to his messed-up imagination and an acknowledgment of the last muse's real winner (Cinnamon), is taking us through a finely scented haze:

"CLARITY THROUGH A CINNAMON MIST"

Find your way through, just don't stop to enjoy the smell for too long.

Winner: "Dirty!"

The rains have washed away the mud; the soap has washed away the soot... the winner of the Dirty! muse is:

Well, wait...

It looks like we've got a couple of firsts here. Not only do we have our first two-time "winner" (you'll get the quotations in a moment), we have our first forfeit due to non-vote! Egads! Cinnamon!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING???

The winner is, by virtue of the real winner forgetting to vote...

JeffScape

... the dirty bastard. Check out the "winning" entry here:

Congrats. Sort of.

Voting: "Dirty!"

Time to take a bath, ladies and gentlemen... it's time to vote.

Jelly (# 7) is the last entry. However, there was an aborted attempt by a newcomer to post a link, so we are allowing a further 24 hours for lakeviewer (and no one else) to re-link and still be eligible. That stated, voting is currently open and there is no requirement to wait.

Without further adieu, please list your 3 dirtiest favorites in order of precedence.



The winner will be cleansed and revealed on the 14th. Thanks for rolling in the mud!

Reminder: "Dirty!"

Have you crawled in the mud yet? If not... why not???

Three more days until the deadline for "Dirty!" Put your filthy links below!



Also, as we're still planning something different for February, the winner of the next muse (not this one) might be picking the muse for early March. If we can't come up with something fun, relevant, and worth your time, we'll simply do a regular muse for early February, then take late February off. We shall see!

"Dirty!"

Krys, it seems, would like us to take a stroll into the gutter.

10thDoM proudly presents the first topic/theme of 2010:

"DIRTY!"


Mud, sludge, and other unmentionables! Let's see some reasons to take a shower!
