We're having a contest! A haiku contest, to be precise, in which a haiku about a hunter pet can win you free game time or a cool forum title.

Check out the full rules on the blog: Mania's Arcania - Hunter Pet Haiku.

And then send me your haiku!

What a fantastic idea! I love it, especially since it allows me to indulge in my creativity without dedicating weeks and weeks to something that is time consuming. :D

Can't wait to see all the entries!

I sent in my entry. <3 I kept repeating the syllables in my head... Realizing making a Haiku is not as easy as I thought. XP

Lol..that brings to mind some parody thing I saw on TV once about the German language. The host was going through the word 'butterfly' in various languages, and each of them sounded all dainty or delicate...then the German word for butterfly was just this hard, badass sounding thing. :lol: I imagine it would be hard to write a soft, subtle poem in that language. xD

No advantage! You are welcome to submit an entry in German also.

But then that's hardly fair... All I can say is hello, goodbye, and "I don't have a ticket".

And whose fault is that? *grin*

Not that I am one to talk. The only languages I know enough to read, other than English, are Latin and Sanskrit, and I certainly can't write haiku in them. (I can't write Sanskrit at all. The letters are complicated.)

Very nice of you, Mania...
But I'm not out because of the language, I'm out because it's Asian stuff.

Did I mention how much I despise the flood of Asian culture sweeping the west?
Mangas, animes, sushi and whatnot... *shudder*

*sigh*

Well, my aunt is Japanese and I've always loved Japan. :) One of my favourite languages as well. And you know what? I'm an anime and manga geek too, and I love sushi. :D

Bet you just hate me. :lol:

Seriously tough, I can certainly understand why Kara dislikes the change, tough I myself like some variety. Besides, Sweden is sort of like that overall. Either you like diversity, or your "zomg racist everythink not originally swedish sux". Sweden is probably one of the more racist countries out there right now.

:(

And I think I'll stop derailing the thread. Looking forward to what you guys come up with, even tough I know that it doesn't even come close to the greatness of mine. It's all emotional and stuff. They don't call me emogeek for nothing, you know...
