28 Feb 01 - 05:18 PM (#408291) Subject: Please define Mudcat's 'Song Challenges' From: granny Hi! I thought I saw a thread or two in the forum about song challenges. What are you talking about, specifically? I post articles at themestream.com, and various members sometimes issue fun Challenges -- i.e., 'Write a poem using 10 titles of your articles,' or, 'Re-write a fairy tale,' etc.. Then, the originator of the challenge posts a list of all the responses, usually. Is that what you do, here? I haven't been able to really check it all out, yet. Thanks, anyone! |

Aine posts a current events story - usually a humorous one - and people write songs about it and post them in the threads. If you go to Quick Links at the top of this page and select "Aine's Mudcat Songbook," you can view the results of previous song challenges. |

I think the FAQ thread has some info too. I know Aine is planning to add or revise, there. Or just watch for the next thread so titled, and jump on in! ~S~ |

According to the Handbook of MudCat Song Challenges (Revised edition), a Song challenge is never completed and additions are welcomed. |
