therealljidolThis week's topic was "Sucker Punch".
Life decided to pull a sucker punch of its own, by taking out two old friends and heavy hitters, with a bye-out.
Goodbye toalycewilson and eeyore_grrl
Second Chance is starting soon. So I hope we will see you there!
In the meantime though, it's time for the rest of you...
To face the Gatekeepers.
Yes. The topic Sucker Punch was in fact a sucker punch.
For those of you who have never experienced this before, it's a like a Contestant Only poll. Except that you don't vote.
It's like last week, except you don't get your friends to vote for you.
Don't let that stop you from reading, and commenting on each other's work though - or sharing your favorite pieces. It may not impact the voting, but it's still something that's very important to be doing for each other.
It's a special panel that I personally put together, to read, to decide on their favorites, and to send me a list. I compile those lists (like I do with the Contestant Only week) and eliminate people accordingly. :)
We will be losing a minimum of 5 contestants, with a maximum of 8.
I've given them until Thursday at 8pm EST to send me their lists. The results will be posted soon after that.
Good luck to everyone.

It's now been 4, so, maybe I can beat the numbers once again. There are new treatments and trials, and something could work. I'm tired, but not out of hope. Never out of hope. <3
I like "statistic buster," though. I'll be working to bust up all of those stats! :)
