- How much time does it take to make an ode?
That depends on who you are addressing your ode to and how much time you want to put into it yourself. Check out the tips to get an idea.
- Can I make several odes?
Of course, please do!
- Can I make an ode in a language other than Dutch?
You may! We want to make as many odes as possible available in as many languages as possible. Would you like to translate an ode? Let us know!
- Instead of an ode, can I also make a lament or express myself in a negative way?
We can well imagine it, and as long as it is done in a respectful way, we encourage it. Insulting and offensive contributions will not be posted, see also the terms and conditions.
