Free Topic - Walkertxkitty

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

I've been thinking about this for a couple days, trying to come up with something to honor the memory of someone who meant a great deal to a lot of people.

There's not much you *can* do - other than to remember all the good she put into the world, and honor her memory.

(plus welcome her back, whatever form she may take!)

I figured though that an "Open Topic" tribute thread would be a good thing, so that if people felt like writing something they could have a place to link.

One of her biggest influences, and sources of strength, was her chosen family. So - things about that would also be appropriate.

I know it's not much, but sending her off to the next adventure, by adding to the stories that she has inspired, seemed to be the way to go.

Green Room - Week 40 - Day 7

It's the final day of Week 40 and everything is coming down to the wire. The poll: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/844574.html and the final Jury vote!

So make sure to get in your votes today!

Thus far, everything looks good vote-wise. Good job there. I know it's going to get tense in the final hours: But just remember (1) it's a community only poll, so you have to join the community in order to vote. (2) It's one physical body/one vote. (3) Encourage people to read and vote - absolutely. Just make sure you are doing both of those! Because if you're not, you're really cheating them out of some great reading!

As most of you know, last week our friend walkertxkitty went on to her next adventure. I set up a memorial thread/free topic so that if anyone felt like writing something and linking it. Maybe a piece about her and what she meant - or maybe just a story that you think she may have liked. http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/845386.html

I marked it "free topic" because it's one of those optional things that *anyone* can participate in. So I hope that you do!

And because I know some people need something "light" to get them commenting - what was your favorite thing about your weekend?

Result - Week 40

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

We've come a long way together.

Now we are almost at the end of the road. Which means that every step forward is going to involve a huge sacrifice to get there.

We are losing another contestant this week.

But before we do, the Jury has made their final decision - saving one person and guaranteeing a spot in the Final Four for someone else. (because they are the only one left who has not previously held immunity)

It was back and forth for quite some time between the last two remaining. But then, around mid-day today, a lead opened up and held.

The Jury selected lrig_rorrim to receive immunity.

Which means, as long as suesniffsglue makes this week's deadline, she is immune! So congratulations to her as well.

Which means we only have the sad news left to deliver.

With that immunity, that means the person with the next fewest votes will be leaving us.

Goodbye to an amazing writer, someone that I'm personally really glad that I got the chance to read this season (and I know a lot of other people are as well): watching_ships

Thank you so much for everything this season - I really hope that we will see you in the Home Game, and hanging around to cheer on your favorites, as this thing comes in for a crash landing!

Topic - Week 41

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

I believe that I promised you something.

One of *the* things that, when I saw one of you mention it, I realized "Wow, I'm dealing with some messed up folks! I NEED to make that a topic!"

I saved this one as the last truly WTF moment of the season, the topic that I said took the other topics lunch money during recess.

What is it?

Koro

I'll be nice. I'll even give you a link to start you off on your journey: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koro_%28medicine%29


The deadline to link your entry back to this thread is Thursday, March 12th at 9pm EDT

Have fun!
