Results - Week 4 Sudden Death Write Off

There was a tie and four contestants were thrust into a Sudden Death Write Off, one more entry, one more round to break out of the pack.

It came one vote away from being a three way tie. Three votes from being a four way tie again.

If that doesn't tell you everything you need to know about how close things are this mini season, I'm not even sure I can articulate it more clearly.

But those votes DID show up, so two of them are moving forward, and unfortunately we are saying goodbye to two beloved veterans. One is the youngest contestant. The other isn't the oldest, but if it was that would at least be amusing. So let's pretend she is! :)

I'm really hoping that we will see more from both of them in the Home Game, and continuing to hang out and root for their favorites!

Goodbye to [personal profile] kizzy and [personal profile] yamyam_kat .   Thank you for coming out this mini season. I wish we got to hang out longer.

Aww what a bummer. I really enjoyed getting to read Kizzy’s pieces this season, and especially stories about Audrey. I REALLY liked Audrey. I hope you will have time for the home game.

As for yamyam-kat, this mini season was the first for her to get back into writing fiction and poetry. 8th grade was nothing but essay after essay, and I watched as her spirits dimmed from a necessary but non creative approach to ELA that year. The prompts you gave inspired her for the first time in months.

Monday, she starts high school at a performing arts conservatory, and one of the focus points beginning day 1 will be creative writing. We received the schedule this morning. So while I am profoundly sad to see her time this season come to an end, I am excited for the potential she is bringing to the table beginning next week.
