Week 10 Results

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Now for the hard part.

Announcing the people who will be leaving us. It's never an easy thing to do, some weeks though just seem extra brutal.

I'll come back as usual and say a few things about them. (edit to add due to the time it will have to be tomorrow. I apologize)
Hopefully by then the rest of you will have said some a ton of nice things as well. They certainly deserve it.

Today we are saying goodbye to

_mysticalelf
alisandre
apisanthrop
chalkolitlover
gildedage
jenandbronze
liret
mermaidkween
negativeneve
teenagewitch
worldofcharlie


It goes without saying that I hope you will stick around, play the Home Game, and maybe just maybe, get a shot at getting back into the game. You guys will be missed in the competition, but hopefully not "around here".

Wow...I am surprised by some of those names, I figured some of them would certainly outlast me! They will be missed.

This week was brutal...

I am really happy to be staying. I had a really bad day and had thought it just might get worse...the fact that I am still here has made me feel better :)

[sra33.livejournal.com]

Oh noooooo!!! Look at them all!

*HUGS to everyone*

[negativeneve.livejournal.com]

omg House? Is that you Chase?

[norda.livejournal.com]

:::sigh:::

[marjory.livejournal.com]

There are some surprises in there!

[cacophonesque.livejournal.com]

Oh wow. I didn't get to read many entries this week, but I'm surprised to see a few of these names. And sad to see some friends go!

[lyrical-liessss.livejournal.com]

Aw man, I loved reading all their entries :(. This is always the hardest part. I hope with all hopes you all play the home game because I love all of your writings!

[oneonthefence.livejournal.com]

I'm a little surprised to see some of these people go. They will be missed :( But hopefully they will play the Home Game!

*sad hugs* Bye, friends :(

[sonarvampress.livejournal.com]

Wow, I'm shocked, some really good writers went this time. I'm sorry to see all of you go. I know I say that every week, but this week especially. wow.

[hug-machine.livejournal.com]

Oh no!

I was just starting to get so many of you -- jenandbronze! _mysticalelf! And liret, even though I knew you from before, it was great reading your stuff.

Please keep writing in the home game, because I know you all definitely have way more awesome things up your sleeves.

*loves on you*

[jenandbronze.livejournal.com]

thanks for the confidence. I was surprised at this ... SIgh

[oberonia.livejournal.com]

Man....

:(

11's a lot to lose so there were bound to be some sad goodbyes in amongst that lot. Still, I always hate to see any of my f-listers leave and there are a couple of other good writers there too that I am surprised by.

All together now:

Home Game! Home Game! Home Game! Home Game!

[drippedonpaper.livejournal.com]

Home Game, home game! Seriously, we will miss you 11. Keep writing!

[gildedage.livejournal.com]

Yeah, this was my Anoop moment.

[onda-bianca.livejournal.com]

I loved Anoop. :(

[jack-batelin.livejournal.com]

As happy as I am to not see my name up there, I'm shocked and saddened at the ones who are leaving.

[beautyofgrey.livejournal.com]

*jaw drop* I'm really surprised by most of these, and since I have gotten to know so many of them through their writing, truly sad to see them go. :(

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Wow - I'm shocked at a few of those! *is sad*

Makes me wonder who the 12 were who were on the verge of elimination...

Congrats to everyone who made it through, though - phew!

[lyrical-liessss.livejournal.com]

I wonder, do you think Gary would be up to the idea of telling us? I mean, I'd like to know if I was so I can know how much I need to improve, ya know?

[onda-bianca.livejournal.com]

Wow. I'm not sure what to say. I suppose it's going to happen to all but one though.

I am sorry to see anyone go and I do look forward to home game entries.

[sra33.livejournal.com]

Also... wow... I absolutely LOVED _mysticalelf and liret's entries this week! Ahhh!

Everyone! Keep playing the Home Game! Do it!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_mysticalelf/]

Thanks so much honey. It's been a true blast and I had so much fun with it. And there's always next year, right?! ::grins::

Like I've said a bunch of times before, you're a great writer and I've enjoyed so many of your entries. Keep doing what you're doing.....

[teaberryblue.livejournal.com]

Aw man! gildedage and liret are two of my best friends! I will miss them being in the competition. And a few of you I have gotten to know and like a lot during the competition!

You should go read Mere's post about historical movies and the collective subconscious here: Clickie! (http://gildedage.livejournal.com/193342.html#cutid1)

And Jess' post this week seems to have sparked more conversation than any of her posts so far this season: Clickie! (http://liret.livejournal.com/229020.html)

They are both awesome writers!

[poppetawoppet.livejournal.com]

sighs in relief but woowwwwwwwwww

[sherriola.livejournal.com]

I want to thank the people who were eliminated this week, because I have loved your work, often been moved by it or entertained by it. I hope you all stick around and that we get to see more of your writing in the future.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_mysticalelf/]

Thank you so much. I had a great time being a part of it too, learning so much and loving so many entries that I read.

It's been a whole lot of fun.

Good luck to you. And keep up the good work. :)

[beloved-tree.livejournal.com]

Aw, man. Some names on there I'm really surprised to see go! And I don't want to seem as if I'm playing favorites -- many of you are people I really loved reading! -- but I'll especially miss negativeneve; we had some great conversations at the beginning of the season, and I loved reading your entries! :(

[karmasoup.livejournal.com]

I second the really sorry to see neve go. We have both determined that we really like each other, and I've always enjoyed reading her.

[theafaye.livejournal.com]

Spydie and Darkprism have already put up links to theirs.

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

Wow. I'm pretty surprised by some of the names on the list. :-(

Sad to see them go. I really did enjoy reading ya'll.

[oldscratchx.livejournal.com]

Aw fuck Charlie, it's the shits but hey man you play it out til they toss ya. Thanks for getting me to sign up. It's been a ride, just wishing you were still on it.

Do the home game man. You're good & you know it.

[cheshire23.livejournal.com]

Glad to have made it through, sorry to see people go, hoping they stick around for the home game, and wishing I could say that more creatively right now. :)

[kutiechick.livejournal.com]

:/ Wow - this was a hard list to read...because quite a few were folks I look forward to reading each week.

Also, it was SO NERVE-WRACKING not having a poll to refresh all week...but a pretty cool twist in the game.

Definitely hoping that some of ya'll will stick around in the green room and do this mysterious "home game" that I keep reading about! :D
