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

I actually like this one, although it's a tad awkward. What I think it does is tie Dawn to the muffin. Like 'If you get to know Dawn, you'll discover all of her good, inner qualities, just like the sweetness of this muffin.' :P


*kasnort* I have no good inner qualities. ;P


Its true, she doesn't :P


Say what you wish, I refuse to believe you. ;)

Chocolaty Goodness
Spelling error, tsktsk.


But... Microsoft Word! It said it was spelled "chocolaty"! :P

Mon Oct 17, 2005 1:53 am

It's chocolatey. Last I checked anyway...

Microsoft Word also mutilates Sapphire Faerie's name. :P

the_dog_god-Delectable Desserts

Again, alliteration. Wink I like the idea, but the desserts part is actually a little boring. I know 'Delectable Delight' was already taken, but I would have liked to see something that was a little more descriptive.


Actually, I thought up Delectable Desserts first.

I did not notice the order of posting, but yes, I can see you did post yours first. However, my rating is the same as I posted.

There are a couple of things I would like to mention before I begin and I want everyone to take note of. I also mentioned these points last round so I'm coming down hard on the "perps" this round. Please check all grammar and spelling before entering the subtext. It's annoying that when I see a huge error, I can't concentrate on the actual content of the subtext. Secondly, plagarism. I've noticed a few too similar subtexts to be mistakes in this round. We want oringality! It's also not fair on the person who entered the original. Anyway, on with the ratings.

A Mouthwatering Exquisity

Wow, this is a mouthful. I like it but somehow, I think it's altogether too posh for a simple muffin. It's original so good job on that.

.:Compact Disk:.
Perfect in the Morning *fade* Perfect in the night.

It's nice but I don't eat muffins in the morning. I do like it though.

.:Requiem:.
Delectable Delight

I'm not at all happy with this one as I see it as a copy of TDG's work. Although you changed one word around, it's still blatant. Although the actual subtext is alright, it's not entirely your own work and it's too similar to TDG's to be a mistake.

Ammer
A Chocolate Delight

It's a little bleh but it's uplifting and happy and captured the mood of the sig totally. I like it.

Anoohilator
Everybodies little Pick-me-Up

Grammar error! Despite that, I don't see a muffin as a pick-me-up. I see coffee as a pick-me-up. It just doesn't fit.

dargonz
They don't call me chocolate for muffin!

Haha, I LOVE this one! It's my favourite of the entire round. Good job!

Divine
I know I'm sweet, but you don't have to eat me!

I like the fact you've gone for humour here. I think the sig is humourous with the muffin and the fun font so good job.

DM was on fire!
Devil's Food

No, I don't like it. The sig is way too much fun and light-hearted for that. I agree with amarise, it could fit if it was a big rich chocolate fudge cake (*drools*) but not for a simple muffin.

Khristian
Food of the Gods

It's okay but again, it's just a muffin! A beautfiul bowl of fruit would suit better to the subtext.

matterbug
Heaven is one bite away.

I like it. It's light and fun and suits the sig well. It's also made me want to eat a muffin.

paperfacesX022
Cupcakes pwn you

I see what you're doing but I'm not sure about it. It's fun though which I like.

pattypus
Chocolaty Goodness

Spelling error! But aside from that, I see it as a little generic and unoriginal. I don't know why but I can see "Mmm.... Chocolatey Goodness." working better.

Stephanie
A little taste of heaven

Meh, it's okay. But it's not really your own work, it would have been more sensible to change it after the Cream Cheese fiasco came out. It fits, although it does remind me of cheese.

the_dog_god
Delectable Desserts

I like the use of the word 'delectable', that's the type of originality I'm looking for in this contest. However, I'm not sure about desserts, I see muffins as more of a snack.

VeraX
The real treat is inside.

It's okay really. I see what you're going for and I like that you're the only one to bring Dawn into the subtext but I think you could have linked a descriptive muffin reference in somehow.

Wind
Eat Me

I love this! It's humourous and simple. Good job!

My Eliminations are: Requiem, DM and Stephanie

Mon Oct 17, 2005 11:36 am

Thank you judges! I was thinking of chocolate muffin then i thought of nuffin and i was like OMG! Sub-Text!

Well that's very... blunt. :P It's short, and not the most original thing you could come up with, but it works well enough. Eat is so bland, though- devour or something like that would work better.


Err... it was a reference to Alice in Wonderland :P

I feel the need to point this out to you and to everyone else: My life is chaos! I didn't have time for anything other than quickly scrolling down, glancing at the signature, and posting my subtext. I didn't look at who had submitted what at ALL until yesterday when Robert lined the subtexts up, and even then I didn't look too closely. To TDG: I'm sorry my subtext was so close to yours, I didn't plagiarize it deliberately. To the Judges: I did NOT intentionally steal a subtext, though I acknowledge that TDG's came first.

Mon Oct 17, 2005 5:06 pm

Ah......Everyone's saying it's "chocolatey". I thought it was, but then I checked...

I'll check again! I bet I'm wrong, though.

...... That's weird. It says that "chocolatey" is wrong, but Dawn and Twinkle said it's "chocolatey"

:P

Judges Notes:
This was an easier round, that left lots of room for creativity, and one thing that disappointed me, was the lack of it. Don’t get me wrong, we had some very creative subtexts (dargonz’s), but there were a lot of subtexts that were very plain.

_jade_em_
A Mouthwatering Exquisity
I like it, the choice of words is nice. Even though I’m not sure that ‘Exquisity’ is a word, the meaning gets across, and it is nice.

.:Compact Disk:.
Perfect in the Morning *fade* Perfect in the night.
Were you trying to use Dawn’s name, is that where you got the time of day part? I don’t really understand this, I just don’t think it works at all on this signature.

.:Requiem:.
Delectable Delight
This is a lot like TDG’s, even so, it is very dull, and very predictable. Just nothing, with the ‘WOW’ effect.

Ammer
A Chocolate Delight
Much like Requiem’s, this doesn’t have a ‘WOW’ effect. It is plain, but it describes the signature well, so no points off there.

Anoohilator
Everybodies little Pick-me-Up
Is that supposed to say Everybody’s? Because, if it isn’t I don’t get what you are trying to get across. Anyways, I like this one, it is nice the way you used Pick-me-Up to describe the cupcake’s function, and used it as a synonym for cupcake. Nice, but watch your grammar!

dargonz
They don't call me chocolate for muffin!
Love it. A great signature, for this horribly wonderful pun :P . Excellent work!

Divine
I know I'm sweet, but you don't have to eat me!
I really don’t like this one. I think it is too long, and don’t see it working overly well. It was a nice try, but you didn’t quite get there.

DM was on fire!
Devil's Food
This is…ok. When I think of Devil’s Food, I think of very, very dark. This cupcake is kind of in-between dark and light, so this subtext doesn’t really fit all that well. Very borderline.

Khristian
Food of the Gods
This works very well. ‘Food of the Gods’ usually refers to something that takes magnificent, and that cupcake looks pretty darn good to me. You took that, used a phrase we understand, and it works. Nice.

matterbug
Heaven is one bite away.
I don’t know how I feel about this one. It describes the cupcake well, but I just don’t know how well it would fit on the signature. Although, the more I read it, the better it sounds. Not too bad.

paperfacesX022
Cupcakes pwn you
This isn’t good. You tried to take a humorous approach to it, but it didn’t work that well, in my opinion. It doesn’t really describe the signature, but is more of just a statement about something that happens to be on the signature. It just doesn’t work, sorry.

pattypus
Chocolaty Goodness
This is ok, predictable, but not bad. A very plain, normal subtext.

Stephanie
A little taste of heaven
I didn’t say anything about this before, I should have, but I didn’t. In my opinion, a jingle from an ad is the same thing a lyric from a song. I’m not going to take anything away fro you because of that, but this is just for future information. Anyway, not a bad subtext. It fits well, but again, there is no ‘WOW’ factor to it.

the_dog_god
Delectable Desserts
I like this, the way these two words sound together is good. A good choice of words, and a good fit for the signature.

VeraX
The real treat is inside.
I assume you are trying to say that the soft inside of a cupcake is better than the crispy outside. I don’t think you really got that across, it would have been so much better if you had said ‘The real treat is the inside.’. That just sounds so much better.

Wind
Eat Me
I don’t like this one. Since Dawn’s name is on the signature, I keep seeing it as Dawn saying “Eat Me”. If the signature were to say ‘Cupcake’, the subtext would fit, but with a person’s name, I just don’t think it works.

I nominate .:Compact Disk:. , paperfacesX022 and Wind .

I thought about that, but at the time a song from Cinderella came up on my iPod and I just assumed Disney was taking over my mind and forgot about it.

Wow, sorry for that double post :oops:

Pixa has said that his ratings are going to be a little late, so if you all will hang tight :)
