Everyone's A Pirate O'Challenge/Showcase Thingy 5/07

As it is the first Tuesday of the month, our EAW challenge is being held on Singsnap <--- clickable link.                                                                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^ - Please remember to post your songs over there but you can still say 'hi' here if you want too... It runs from Tuesday May 07 until Tuesday May 14 2013 at 6 PM EST. (late) East Thingy!. Middle Earth Night G Empty!

If you don't have a Snapsnap account but you would still like to join in and you sing elsewhere you can still join in.  Just leave us a link to your song here in the thread - I will still be updating as usual and you will get heard!

PLEASE READ THE GUIDELINES AND THEME DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY BEFORE POSTING.

PURPOSE - The purpose of the EAW Music Challenge is to encourage people to create and/or promote new music each week and to give them a forum to have their songs heard. There is no judging involved.

HOW IT WORKS - Every (now and then, could be Tuesday  ) at 6 PM we start a new challenge. Those wishing to participate are invited to post links to their songs that match the theme. We invite you to participate but be aware that here everyone is very supportive of each other. Amateurs and professionals are both welcome. You do not have to be a great singer to participate. No flaming is allowed on this board. This is not a contest. There is no judging. It is merely an opportunity to hear and be heard by others.

You can post or merely listen and interact with the others who post here. Please follow the detailed guidelines which are posted below and at the top of each new challenge thread. Have fun!

CHALLENGE GUIDELINES -

1. Post links to ONE OR TWO songs that fit the theme. You may post a THIRD one on or after Saturday.  You may post a FOURTH song link on or after Monday. Your song can be a new song or one that was previously recorded.
 
2. For EACH song link you post, listen to at least SIX other peoples songs and leave feedback. That means, if you post 2 song links you should listen to 12 others over the course of the 7 days of the challenge, a little less than 2 a day. If you post 3 song links, listen to 18 others and so on. You may, of course, listen to more if you choose. Listening is the most important part of this challenge. Supporting and experiencing others is what its about.
 
3. We prefer to listen to the whole song. Try not to listen to the same people every day. Give new people a chance as well.
 
4. You don't need to post a song to listen but you need to listen if you post a song. It's best to post earlier in the challenge. But you can post up until the end.
 
5. Please avoid making multiple posts in a row (spamming) by going back and modifying your posts if you left something out.
 
6. Remember to post the name of your song. For easy instructions on how to HOT LINK and post your song title, click EAW FAQ.
 
7. Please do not post glitter or large graphics as feedback or in the thread. Please keep to the standard font, size and color that is already provided - this helps prevent your songs and comments from getting lost in a sea of shifting fonts and colors. For your song title only, use 14 pt font size and bold. This will help your song stand out. For more information on how to do this, check the EAW FAQ.

Theme:
The theme for this week's challenge is 'Everyone's A Pirate O''
