One thing is for sure - the Top of the alphabet is about to get another winner. (After going 3 seasons without one, this makes 2 seasons in a row!!)

You probably want to know what is going on for the FINAL FOUR. . .

We're going to start off simple. My idea of simple at any rate.

There are 3 steps in this first part. If any of you four have any questions - feel free to ask here or email me.

Everything needs to be linked back to this post as usual.

STEP 1: You never get a second chance to make a first impression right?
Now you do.
I'm quite sure that looking over 26 weeks worth of topics you have at least one entry that you go "I wish I had gone a different direction with that!" or even "I *could* have gone in a different direction."
Maybe you are 100% satisfied with them - in which case, find one of the previous topics and create something new.
This is your Second Chance entry.


Step 2: While you are thinking about your entries this season, and looking back over them - think about what your *FAVORITE* entry was that you have produced during this competition.

Find that entry and link it back here!

Step 3: And this is the part that might be easy - or might just be a little challenging because it's not standard at all. . . Link *your favorite entry* from SOMEONE ELSE during the course of the competition. I'm certain you've been reading each other - right?
It doesn't have to be one of the Final Four. It can be, but doesn't have to be.

After all, one of you is going to be the WINNER of Season Five: What do YOU think is "good"?

Again, it can be anyone who was part of Season 5.

Write your own entry ABOUT why you chose that entry.

When are you linking all of this back to this post by?

Tuesday March 31st at 7pm EDT.

And then. . . Step #4 will be posted.*G*

See you then.

Have fun!!!

(Reminder: this is a topic post. I will allow, unless it gets out of hand, the Final 4 to post here. Because ultimately people not seeing their posts, or me not seeing questions from them, among the other comments would really be their own fault.*g*)

Step One, Second Chance Entry

A look back through weeks
Let's have another go at
"Being Resolute"

Step Two, My Own Favorite Entry

As a counselor
I have cracked up many times;
This was the Big One

Step Three, My Favorite Entry of Another Contestant

[abbismom.livejournal.com]

Among so many
Is it possible to choose?
So many journeys!

I've been on car rides,
walks on the beach, between sheets,
in haunted houses,

On a stripper pole,
Learning your roots and wishes,
My skin from flesh torn.

Though many great tales
One entry stood out the most;
I'll never forget.

Step One

[boxsofrain.livejournal.com]

I decided to re-do my "cracking up" (http://boxsofrain.livejournal.com/398981.html) entry. Originally, I teamed up with another contestant, and we wrote the same fiction story together but from two different perspectives. I never felt like I tackled that topic on my own.

So with that said:

The needle tears a hole, the old familiar sting. Try to kill it all away, but I remember (http://boxsofrain.livejournal.com/422786.html) everything.

Second Chance Entry:
My Other Favorite Story (http://darkprism.livejournal.com/241795.html#cutid1).

My Favorite Entry of My Own:

My favorite entry done by another contestant:
A Nod to Characterization (http://gutterlust.livejournal.com/2112.html).

Why I Chose gutterlust's Entry:
Blurring Lines Between Reality and Fiction (http://darkprism.livejournal.com/242053.html#cutid1).

Many thanks.

Step Two

[boxsofrain.livejournal.com]

I have gone through some major life changes during the past six months I have played LJ Idol.

I am not who I was when this season started.

One thing however does remain constant - my way of thinking of humanity as a whole.

I know that nobody will ever share my mind, but some people who have read this entry said it made them think a bit differently.

Even if just for a minute.

My favorite entry:




All of the sudden I miss (http://boxsofrain.livejournal.com/385338.html) someone.

Step Three

All the world in one grain of sand (http://boxsofrain.livejournal.com/423670.html), and I've blown it

Step Four

We should have each other to tea.

We should have each other with cream (http://boxsofrain.livejournal.com/424010.html).
