Voting - Week 8

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

A few words from clauderainsrm:

As we get closer to the end of the calendar year, as well as closer to our (numbers-wise) half way point in the competition, let's pause for a moment to reflect on all of the wonderful things that have come into our lives. . .

OK. Pause is over. Let's get to a poll! :)

The topic this week was "Reprobate".

We will be losing the bottom vote-getters from each tribe. So make sure to support your favorite entries, and let other people know that they should be reading them as well! Considering how close some of these votes have been lately, one more person reading the entry could be the difference between continuing and going home.

The polls closes Wednesday December 23rd at 8pm EST. So don't be a Reprobate - make sure to give someone a Very Idol Christmas, instead of some coal...

link the word to the definition, if they aren't smart enough to click a link you need a higher standard for friends :P

I knew what the word meant, although I was unaware of just how much of a religious connotation it had. Enough contestants stated they had an issue with the word that I assume ignorance/laziness on the part of my readers (which also ties into basic exam practice I've had drummed into me). So personally, I put the definition up there to save my friends the hassle of having to look it up, particularly because there wasn't anywhere in my entry that made sense to do a link, which would have been my usual practice, although I agree - had I known that everyone else would do it, I wouldn't have bothered. I don't usually do any kind of meta reference, which this falls under, precisely because it tends to alienate people and very few like to hear musings about the contest unless that's the focus of the entry and it's done well.

Perhaps putting up the definition shows a certain concern for readers I don't have.

Maybe it's the sign of a caring journal writer:)

Thanks for the reminder to look at the other side of a decision:)
