Results - Week 12
Jul. 14th, 2022 09:54 pmI saw the comments in the thread about how small the group is getting. It's definitely true.
I can confirm that, yes, your memories are correct. There were quite a few full seasons with more than 200 people and a few that topped 300. That was the direction Idol was going before Livejournal started imploding and we rode that all the way down to the bottom of the hill.
The only times we've been under 100 have been pre-Season 4 and for the mini seasons (and even some of those have been over)
So yes, looking at the numbering of people left in this mini season and weighing how this will go down with the 3 strikes twist in play is definitely enough to make anyone stop for a moment and realize how this really IS a small group, and just how real it could be for any one of you to make it to the end.
With that said, this is a results post, so I need to post those.
The two writers who are adding a strike are
erulissedances and unfortunately someone for whom this is the final strike - hangedkay, who has been eliminated.
It's not a surprise, and I hope you are recovering from COVID - and that we will soon be enjoying more of your work.
What WAS a surprise was how close this week ended up being. It came down to 1 vote that had the potential to take out a lot more writers this week. Which is a reminder that it could happen at any point....

Date: 2022-07-15 01:29 pm (UTC)I intend to keep playing along with this season once I can concentrate again (I really like this new prompt, but it may be too soon). I will try to post links to "home game" style writings in green rooms. And I definitely hope to be back for future incarnations of the competition. I enjoy the writing and the reading and the interaction. And that is a positive reflection on all of you.
Thanks again. -k
