OK, I think that perhaps the Pirate Poetry Contest was maybe not such a good idea, so I'm officially replacing it with a different idea. If somebody was actually taking time to write a finely crafted masterpiece of piratical poetry, I'm sorry (and surprised). My new contest to give away a copy of Far World: Water Keep is much simpler.  Post a link to this contest in your blog, then post a comment here linking to your link.  That's it.  A winner will be chosen randomly from among those who link. 

The only rule is that it is open to U.S. and Canadian residents only.  That's part of the official Far World Blog Tour rules, and I can't change it.

Edit: Oh yes, as with the previous contest, you have until August 15, 2008.
