What was meant to be a good thing and a unifying factor here at HP has become a disaster for me personally. And I guess I must have hurt feelings which I absolutely did not intend to do!
The outcome of the Lovefest Contest received only one like. And that was from illegitimate no more who won. I therefore can only conclude that folks are upset.
I want, therefore, to apologize to the other contestants of the contest. Amanda in Scarlet The Sagest Assuager Winn I have sent messages to them personally as well.
My reasons for choosing the poet I did I felt to be right. I still do. The entire reason for the contest was to encourage young and new writers. People who may hurt. To give encouraging support.
But even a good thing can be misconstrued. I sure didn't want to "diss" anyone. Once again I apologize.
