An... informercial. Okay. I don't know how you could end up writing an infomercial out of what was supposed to be a short story, much less what it has to do with 3D landscapes, or how skipping the latter could have any impact on the former, or why I think too much over the simplest of things...

Cough. In any case, I'll just see what you'll come up with.

Currently, re-writing mine. I'll try to keep straight this time.

All righty, take your time.

@8Laelia8; Oh my, a poem. It reflects what I had in mind when I wrote the opening post for this round really well. I particularly like the last couplet of the first paragraph and how you emphasise on the value of both 'styles' of life, that there's always something to feel grateful for. I fixed the formatting in your post; I hope you don't mind. Thanks for participating!

Thank you very much :3 and no I don't mind at all, I was hoping there was a way someone could fix it haha. I'm not very clued up on forum features since I tend to lurk rather than join in.... it literally took me just over an hour to even get the spoiler thing to appear in the post when I hit preview xD

I tried to end my poem on a lighter note cos I have a tendancy to write really dark poems and I didn't wanna be entirely doom and gloom on this cos it's a really sweet and important theme

I see. Glad to have helped. That's understandable; I guess there are some features you'll need to hear from others or try things out or see them in action to know how to use them, just like the smilies/stickers.

Ha, you're not alone in having such a tendency (at least for dark stuff in general; I rarely write poems). It's supposed to be a sweet theme, sure, but I wonder if anyone will manage to twist it―not necessarily in a negative way―to fit a dark-themed story or poem they're intent on entering.

Simple and succinct―what makes a poem great. Thanks for participating

Sorry for being late. I procrastinated again since I was juggling this with KanColle and personal stuff.

Eh, you weren't late or anything; it's still the 22nd and there was just one entry before you joined anyway. Donmai.

Still 9 days to the end of the month, which is quite plenty, so come on, people!

Funny how things work, sometimes. I happened to check out Updates, and saw that KK is the new Mod for the Writings section.

Writings... a contest... intrigued... Unfortunately, this month's contest ends tomorrow, so not much time.

After reading all the entries, which I find clever and interesting, BTW

and the contest discussion, I decided to post a last minute entry.

It's about one of the blessings I've had in life. Hope it's okay.
