For those topics one could describe as the forum equivalent of a twinkie. Word games, forum contests and giveaways are all the rage here.

Simple, yet effective. It describes exactly what is occuring in the image. Perhaps next time, try to go a little beyond what is literally happening. 6.5/10


See! This is more what I was expecting for rushed, unispired entry. I promise to go beyond what is happening next time as long I as can figure out what is happening next time.

Hehe, Ammer actually originally taught me the word a while back. Back then I needed another word that started with a V for a team for WW though. :P

Dedication to Destruction
I have to agree with what Dawn said about this. The alliteration is great, but using the word "dedication" seems a little off. I've read what you wrote in response to Dawn's critique and I would say if you want the signature to read "Robert...Dedication to Destruction", I would change it from "dedication" to "dedicated". It makes a little more sense that way. 7/10


I can see what you mean there, Dedicated to Destruction would be more directed at Robert than Dedication.....Thanks

Judges Notes: Great First round guys. Excellent subtexts…and I really don’t have that much advice. If you guys keep this up, I think this will be a great round of PPTSKQ!


.:Requiem:.
Glorious Devastation
I like it. I think the fire has that ‘Glorious’ look to it, but you also described the fire and its destruction.

Anubis
Memories Aflame
Nice. One of the worst things about house fires is that every memory that is kept in a house is destroyed, so I really like this subtext. I also really like how you went outside the actually picture but described what’s happening on the ‘inside of the picture’. Nice. work.

Blk Mage
Lost Admidst the Chaos
‘Chaos’ is a great word for this signature. I don’t know about the lost part though, I don’t see ‘Lost’ anywhere in the signature, so I don’t think it really fits.

Divine
Halloween draws nigh...
Not a favourite to be honest. Besides the orange and black, I don’t feel any Halloween at all. I just don’t see this subtext fitting anywhere, sorry.

Dragonfire
Memories Lost Forever
Like I said with Anubis’ subtext, I like how you incorporated the loss into the subtext. The only thing I can suggest to make this better is somehow get the physical feel or appearance of the fire in the subtext as well.

maniac
No Subtext For You!

Death Lives Here
Excellent subtext, it fits very well. I love how you incorporated the house and the fire the way you did.

paperfacesX022
Breaking the Darkness
Losing the Lives
Again, I like this one. I think it fits well and describes the signature very nicely. I don’t really like the size of it though, but I think it works better big like this than with a fade.

pipsqueeek
Lanterns of Havoc
I think this one is good. I like ‘Havoc’ but am a little unsure about ‘Lanterns’. I think it would work better singular, ‘Lantern of Havoc’ since there is really only one fire.

Pixa
Engulfed in an amber eruption
Excellent, love it. Great choice of words, great subtext.

Skynetmain
Blazing through the night
This subtext fits, though it isn’t an amazing subtext. It seems very ‘safe’. There is nothing wrong with it, but it doesn’t make me go “WOW”.

Stephanie
No Subtext For You!

susannahmio
Dedication to Destruction
Nice. Describes the subtext well, and the fire’s destructive abilities. I also like the alliteration you used.

theonlysaneone
No Subtext For You!

Twizzler0171
Flaming Fury *Fade* Blazing Beauty
I like the subtext, but I am on the fence about the fade. I don’t think fades would work well on this signature, but I don’t think your subtext would work well without a fade. So I don’t think this subtext would work that well on this signature. If you could combine the two halves into a whole, sans fade, I think it would work very well.

WIS
Admist the dark of midnight gloom *fade* Buds of amber flames shall bloom
I don’t really like this one. I don’t see this signature as very poetic, or the right place for fades. You did do a good job of describing the signature though. I just think you could have done a better job putting it all together.

YesItIsh
Destruction Ablaze
Simple, effective, but like I said to Sky, it just doesn’t have the WOW factor.

Warnings to:
1. Divine
2. YesItIsh
3. Skynetmain

Apologies Robert, I think I'm going to have to withdraw.

With a piano recital, a music counterpoint exam and a math contest coming up, as well as a writing contest going on, I don't have time for PPT anymore. I've already begun to lag behind in terms of homework.

So bye, and good luck all ;) .

Will probably change, hard kinda sig.

Cherries and Kiwis and Strawberries, Oh My!

Oh gosh, this is probably going to change. xD (That's immediately what popped into my head when I saw the sig too)

Like Icey (Divine), I have to pull out too. I have other projects that need more of my creative juices than can be spared. This has been fun. I got the reviews I was expecting and was genuinely surprised to make it to the second round. Thanks
