Challenge .... Is it Erotic? Or is it Porn?

Are there any new participants that need to be listed, or have all the later entries come from the same naughty, naughty bunch?

I don't think there are any different ones, the pure and innocent (ahem) amongst have stepped back from this one!
 
The process of trying to categorize all of the submissions as either being porn or erotic is as challenging as trying to figure out who wrote what.

Some of the poems aren't erotic or porn to me. There are very nice submissions that I enjoyed reading, but they don't hit that sweet spot that would put them in either category. It's fun trying to guess the author's intention, too.

I'm really looking forward to seeing more guesses and the big reveal. :)

I am looking forward to it as well. I think this is the most popular challenge we've ever done here on the pobo (kudos to my naughty pal UYS!). I don't get though why anyone would want to pick a "best" poem as that was never the purpose of the challenge. Even trying to categorize the poems as porn or erotica seems difficult to me. With the exception of a few obvious cases, it seems pretty subjective. I imagine we all define the terms somewhat differently. I have to say though that I am once again amazed at how much talent exists here on our little tucked away forum. I'm probably biased but I believe this is one of the most helpful and least judgmental places to write on the web!

I think what we have here are Moan, groan and Oh i say!! :D
I am utterly knocked out though by the volume of entries, I was literally overwhelmed, so thank you to all the wonderful Members who participated. You are the best. Funny and erotic in equal measures and a pleasure to work with :rose:

Annie, I second (or is it third?) the kudos. Many thanks for cumming up with a great challenge and keeping it all together.

I agree with Angeline that we should neither try to pick the best (or pluperfectest?) poem and that categorization as erotic or porn is in the mind (or lower) of the reader.

I look forward to the reveal tomorrow and will post the names of my submissions at that time.
 
Another Bravo! to Annie for taking on this challenge and dealing with the high volume of discharge. :)
 
Congrats, Annie, on creating a PoBo record......most submissions to a challenge (as far as I can tell) and handling it so well. :rose:
 
Thank you but you all did the work so you can now pat your collective selves on the back :D
I've taken the liberty of jumping the gun and owning up to mine oh and this :caning: is for Piscator for calling my perfectly written Triolet 'With apologies to Thomas Hardy' a 'mildly wandering rhyme'!! :D
 
Well, since the reveals have already started, I'll own up to mine, too:

23. The Ice Cream Melted on the Countertop
50. Your Disturbance in My Atmosphere
64. From Your Lips to...
65. Beginning from #10
 
I've decided to take Mags' protestations to heart that he did not write #1 Pluperfect. So, I'm going to take another stab at it and blame Piscator for getting the plu-poem frenzy started. :)
