[chite.livejournal.com]

[libra-dragon.livejournal.com]

Very cool!

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

Yee-Haaaaa

[bettybaker.livejournal.com]

WHOO! That's massively exciting. I'm looking forward to it. How can I get my LJ Idol jollies on as I wait for September?

[blueashke.livejournal.com]

I'm so down this year. Yay!!!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

The more the merrier!

[firesign10.livejournal.com]

Verily, my heart leapt whence my eyes fell upon yonder banner...

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

Seriously. Mine did too.

And now I'm late for a meeting!

[sircaliban.livejournal.com]

Is it that season of the year again? wow, that happened fast.

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Nah. September is when it's happening.

People have been asking, so I figured I'd put something up all official-like.

There will be more announcements as we get closer to the actual launch date.

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

Sign me up!


Pre-competition topics?

Topic -1?

can we huh? can we huh?

[firesign10.livejournal.com]

LOL!!

"What I Did on My Summer Vacation"

*back to getting my GR fix*

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

Well, if this is a green room... *starts planning feast*

[abbismom.livejournal.com]

So when do contestants sign up?

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

That's not going to be until about a week or so before start time.

I haven't even *started* resting up from last season yet much less done much of the prep work for Season 5.

But people have been asking, so I wanted to put something out there so that there would be some sort of "official word".

[chite.livejournal.com]

Woohoo! I mean, a girl's got to have a writing prompt, even if she can't play anymore :)

[firesign10.livejournal.com]

*pets your pretty icon*

[taybar19.livejournal.com]

My goal is to make it past the first round this time

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

heh, always a worthy goal!*g*

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

Gary... If I bribe you with my seat at the Steelers game in September... Will you move up the Idol start date to July 1st?! *g*

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

The day of my root canal?

No. I don't think even a Steelers ticket could make me do that!

[mme-furiosa.livejournal.com]

These people are SICK. Don't you see what you've created, Gary?

An LJ full of slavering, voracious, Idol-hungry beasts!

*Thank you*

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

heh, you're welcome.

It *still* manages to amaze me. It's just a little idea I had that apparently some people like! *shrug* Even the people who don't like us managed to take what they liked...*g*

[n-decisive.livejournal.com]

Oranger.

'Cause I said so, and I'm hardcore. ;o)

Thinking about all my options for the next year and wondering if anyone would want to start a team that's actually all about the team, being supportive, ignoring the upsetting stuff in favor of the good, etc. Would anyone be interested in joining such a crew?

I think we'd make super awesome ninja robot monkey pirates what write!

[shadowwolf13]

Awesome! Can't wait for it to start. :)

[minikin.livejournal.com]

Count me in!

[desert-rose.livejournal.com]

I don't have a question I want answered. I just wanted to say hi! :-)

So... HI! Missing you all very much! :-)

*hugs* all around!

[creature-girl08.livejournal.com]

Is there going to be a cap on the number of people that can join? I think season 4 went on way too long.

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

The answer to that is Yes, and No.

There will be a cap. But it's not going to work the way most people think it will.*g* That's really all I can say because ultimately I don't know how many people are going to show and without that I'm just speculating.

That said, I *can* say that Season 5 will last about 6 months. Which is the length of Season 3 and 1 1/2 months *shorter than Season 4.*

Right at what seems to be the breaking point, which is *great* for something like this, but not much further beyond that. Anything much shorter wouldn't be worth anyone's investment (without a MASSIVE cap that limited us to practically the people in the room right now) and anything too far beyond that mark gets into the shaking range.

[sushimustwrite.livejournal.com]

Woot! I haven't decided whether I'll throw my hat in or not. We'll have to see.

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

Sushi... everyone else is doing it! *waits for the peer pressure cave-in*

[adpaz.livejournal.com]

As much as I'd like to take another shot at this, Season 5 won't be able to be in. I'll be a little too busy having a baby this September to concentrate on getting timely entries out.

I will continue to read along, though, and cheer on my favorites.

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

is the baby going to sign up???*g*

[monkeysugarmama.livejournal.com]

Oh hell YES!

Here we go again!

*Straps on seatbelt and pulls the safety bar down on this badass rollercoaster*

[ewok-626.livejournal.com]

What happens when you are voted off:

"Welcome back. We hope you enjoyed your ride. Please pull up on your lap bars and exit to the right of the car. Thank you for riding the Idol-coaster and enjoy the rest of your day here at Livejournal Land!"

[1-rhiannon-1.livejournal.com]

There are so many people expressing interest already! I can't wait to read the entries and cheer the contestants on!

[blackfroggy.livejournal.com]

yay, another season comming up!
