Week 14 - Results & Special Powers

[kithan.livejournal.com]

It gets a little harder each week to say goodbye to contestants.  This week is no different.

First, in a very closely fought Sudden Death match, unsold_capacity pulled out a victory by a scant 1 vote!  Thus we say goodbye to anamacha.  Very well played, both of you.

In the main polls, because dragonfluff withdrew after I posted the poll, we are saying goodbye to the 3 contestants with the lowest number of votes:

beldar
blue_eye
and controlld_chaos

It seems like every week we are saying goodbye to someone's favorite in the competition.  I hope you all stick around in the Green Room and hopefully we'll see you again next season!

***

And now on to the Special Powers for this week!

tulip_in_yellow received the most votes this week, congratulations!  She will get to choose an alternate topic this week.  Please email me at kithan@LJ to let me know ASAP.

awallens was closest to eliminations this week, and thus receives the right to challenge any competitor to a Sudden Death Cage Match!  If you choose to use this power, please email Gary at clauderainsrm@gmail.com before 10am EST on Friday.  (Remember, you don't have to use the power.)

Wow, this just gets harder and harder each week.
They are all such good writers.

Awww. All strong players. I'm going to miss them all. :(

[lilerthkwake.livejournal.com]

That SDCM was crazy close. Both entries were strong; it was hard to choose a "winner".

[unsold-capacity.livejournal.com]

*exhales* That was excellent. Hugs for anamacha, that was intensely awesome. After the first day I was certain I'd be out...a great vote on everyone's part.

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

That one-on-one was hard to watch! I was hoping for a tie, so they could both stay.

Not that Gary would do that, but I did say "hoping."

[kittenboo.livejournal.com]

damn, anamacha was one of my favorites

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Me too! *pouts*

[anamacha.livejournal.com]

aw, thanks :) I'll try to keep on with the home game, but no guarantees.

[beldar.livejournal.com]

No shame in going out on Week 14, with 38 votes. Best of luck to the rest of you!

And I'll presume the above positive comments are about me. Thanks! =)

[lilerthkwake.livejournal.com]

It's a huge compliment to have come this far. Good job!

[imafarmgirl.livejournal.com]

How sad. It's getting sadder and sadder each week with good writers either dropping out or getting voted off. So depressing!

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Congratulations tulip_in_yellow!

Way to go, awallens and unsold_capacity!

*pouty face*

Sorry to see you voted away, beldar, blue_eye, controlld_chaos! I will miss your entries.

*watches still-in-top-50-picks list get smaller every round*

[tulip-in-yellow.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I still insist that fidgety and mme_furiosa should've kicked my ass this round.

[bateleur.livejournal.com]

Some big hitters out this time round! :-O

:-( dragonfluff is going to be VERY missed, as will anamancha and the others.

*wails* MISS YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*sigh*

:(

What do you want the alternate topic to be?

[tulip-in-yellow.livejournal.com]

I want to hear what others want to write about, so I've made a poll on my LJ and I'll pick the suggestion that I dig the most. So if you'd like to chime in with an idea about the alternate topic, go here and do it:


Go here and tell me what you want the alternate topic to be! (http://tulip-in-yellow.livejournal.com/97794.html)


For the record, "Your Mom" has already been suggested.

Re: What do you want the alternate topic to be?

[porcelain72.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'll have you know I could get a very dramatic post from the subject of my mom. Your mom, not so much, I've only met the lady once.

ALTERNATE TOPIC

[tulip-in-yellow.livejournal.com]

Because I'm not sure how fast Kithan can post it, I'll just post my choice for the alternate topic here:

Write a harlequin romance scene. Starring zombies.

Re: ALTERNATE TOPIC

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

You do realize this could count as my BIGGEST CHALLENGE?

(I have a small thing about "zombies")

*sigh*

[and by this I mean the entire round...writing/reading/whatever]

[bangdrum.livejournal.com]

Out since week 5 here, by choice...

blue_eye, you will be missed. :(

[lacombe.livejournal.com]

Yeah she will. I'll miss our discussions.

[blue-eye.livejournal.com]

It's been a good trip! I am actually relieved because I have been really pressed for time lately...Good luck to you all!

[controlld-chaos.livejournal.com]

I get knocked out and THEN we get to the zombie smut round? Seriously?

:)

But seriously, thanks for all the kind words and the interest in my writing. It was a real pleasure. And I just might have to play the home game on this one, because, wow. Zombie romance. Wow. Anyway, I'm sure I'll be around.

[tulip-in-yellow.livejournal.com]

I dig your writing. Play the home game!

[suesniffsglue.livejournal.com]

Oh my lord

I'm so excited about this


....am I allowed to be obscene? Are throbbing zombie members and quivering lady parts acceptable?!

[lacombe.livejournal.com]

Come chat with me if you get this.

[lordrexfear.livejournal.com]

All I can say is :(

but boy is this contest getting tight and rough! Best LJ Idol yet?

[lacombe.livejournal.com]

Totally. :-)

[lacombe.livejournal.com]

I need a good proofreader tonight. If anyone here is willing to help out, please IM me at the following:

AIM: LaesaMajestas
Yahoo: barney9651
MSN: barney9651@hotmail.com

wow, that was fun to write!

[lilmissmagic71.livejournal.com]

...though I think I seriously creeped out the old man... *giggle*

This is the earliest I have posted anything so far, I think! I cannot WAIT to see what the writers come up with this week!
