therealljidolI designed this mini season around the idea of a Literary Prize Fight, knowing that the theme could make this the most dramatic and competitive event yet.
It was a risk, bridging that line between blowing things apart with too much drama and just enough to get and keep people's attention.
Instead, almost everything I made available to help spur that potential drama was ignored and we end up with the two finalists agreeing to a tie and walking out pretty much hand in hand.
Damn hippies ruin everything. ;)
I thinkkathrynrose would be laughing her head off right now.
It's the second time in Idol history where we have ended in a tie, as well as being the second mini season to do that. The first was where it fit the concept. This time it ran contrary, but the voters just couldn't make up their minds! :D (For those interested, the next round in the process is a Community Only vote. As I've said, we went to that in Season 2.) I don't blame them. I would have had a difficult time picking between them as well. Two very different writers who both deserved the win.

A special thank you tojenwithapen who helped me out getting this set up over here in Dreamwidth as well as stepping in to do some punch hitting while I was away.
And of course our two anonymous donors (and all those less anonymous donors over the course of the mini season!)
And thank you to all of YOU - those who competed as well as those supporting (and voting) from the sidelines. You are what helps make this experience special.
The off season might be restful for you, but it's always pretty busy for me. I mention this because out of sight and out of mind while everyone else is going about their lives, I'm cooking up the next season. :) So if you want to support that work - and are able to do so of course, please consider becoming a Patron Become a Patron!
If you are unable to, or just don't want to - but want to help in other ways, I have a big project coming up this summer in hopes of getting some fresh blood. If you want to take part in that, send me an email at clauderainsrm@gmail.com
I hope to see you all at the Homecoming
Until then, Dreslinski Out.
