Green Room - Week 22 - Day 8

[clauderainsrm]

Good Morning, or whatever time it is when you read this.

Last night, we had the results of our FINALE!! Only to find out, due to yet another tie in this mini season of ties, it was just the first stage in the finale. https://therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1066088.html

I also confirmed via email with those handling Kate's memorial that not only is it OK to have the Kathrynrose Spirit of Idol award - but that next season there WILL be a prize for the recipient, that they will be donating.

It makes me wish we had been in a place to set something up for Siggy after Luna died. Which is kind of the opposite of what I'm talking about... but that's how my brain is working right now.

Anyway, this has been a rough mini season emotionally. I'm going to celebrate the winner and get started on the next full season - but in between I'm definitely going to try my best to get some rest in there as well! :)

Kathrynrose Spirit of Idol Award/Fan Favorite

[clauderainsrm]

The name is still in transition since I kept changing it since it was announced. :)

But the meaning is still the same.

It's the person who the community wishes to honor with a special designation - a thank you for being there and a general "You make this place better".

I think it's telling that about 1/3 of the possible candidates ended up getting votes!

That tells me some very good things about this place and what people experienced in this particular mini season.

Another was that there were two "runaways" - people with a *lot* more votes than the rest of the field - between them I'd say at least one of their names was on at least 90% of the ballots received.

For awhile, I thought there was going to be a tie. That would have been true to form...

But then a few more votes came in and there was a clear winner.

Normally, there would be a part of me that would feel a great deal of sympathy for the person with the second highest number of votes - but I'm going to reveal something I normally wouldn't - that the person who almost tied specifically asked me if they could vote for the winner 3 times. ;)

(They can't - but I think it was really special that they asked for that to be done if they could)

So I don't think they are going to be upset about this outcome.

Your Kathrynrose Award goes to someone who you know, and clearly love, and who I agree has definitely helped to make this mini season better just by being around. More than most of you know actually.

Congratulations to the one and only murielle !
