RULES
- Any parody beginning with the current letter is eligible, except parodies that have been entered into ABC1 or ABC2 or ABC3 or ABC4
- You're not allowed to vote for your own parody
- Once you've posted a vote, you're not allowed to change it
- Anyone who's participated in any previous ABC contest may vote
- Any entrant who hasn't left a comment on all entries is disqualified and may not participate in the next letter
- Any entrant who doesn't vote by the voting deadline (above) is disqualified and may not participate in the next letter



ALSO
Under no circumstances will a vote that missed the voting deadline be accepted (even by 1 second)
However the resulting disqualification from entry to the next ABC5 comp may be over-ruled, if you do the following...

  1.  Post an "appeal" on this thread giving your excuse for missing the deadline, and plead for mercy
  2.  If your plea wins the sympathy of 3 other entrants your disqualification from the next round will be overturned
       Your late votes will still not count though  
       (if less than 4 entrants in the comp, only 2 sympathetic "Thumbs Ups" are required)

Response to people from previous thread

**Melanie Lee, sorry, I've always considered Y a moderate letter, that's what I meant--but there is a number/symbols round, and it goes by literal number/symbols after the XYZ round, spelled out numbers (such as Eight) go under their respective letters (in that case E) this is why I have never qualified for the numbers/symbols round because I almost always spell out my words--and tend not to use symbols in my titles. . .it's usually an odd round :)

**Abbott: I liked that parody myself, but your wish is granted obviously--just remember, "You are your own worst critic" is a statement that applies to all of us, and the main goal of ABC, SOTM etc is to garner feedback more than anything--so it's always up to you, but my personal opinion is when one has a qualified entry (especially in a large field of entrants) they should enter for the exposure more than anything.  I am a man of many cliches--so here's another one "One Man's trash is another Man's treasure" . . .cliche as it may be--it's true, never doubt yourself dude.

Tuesday, November 30th

Just so we don't run into this problem again, I've deciphered that November 30th falls on a Monday, not a Tuesday. It's all good, tho. We all make mistakes.  ;D
