Another dramatic finish to the week. It came down to the wire, and in one case it ended in a tie.
We will deal with that in a moment.

First we have to say goodbye to

[livejournal.com profile] malruniel11
[livejournal.com profile] morning_stand

I will post a proper goodbye later, and I know that I still owe one to the people from Week 12. I'm really sorry about that. It is being worked on I promise.

But for now please know that I expect to see both of you continue to be around and to show up for the Home Game. There is something big coming soon and I hope you are able to see it happen! :)
So keep an eye out!

***

We also have a tie breaker between

[livejournal.com profile] belgatherial - [livejournal.com profile] poppetawoppet
and
[livejournal.com profile] kandigurl - [livejournal.com profile] thaliontholwen

There are no teams for the tie-breaker, just topic (posted to this thread)

It is, of course, Making Fire and it is due to be linked back here tomorrow Thursday Feb 11th at 10pm EST.

Good luck to you all.

Farewell guys! And good luck to those of you in the tie-breaker. What craziness.

Also, I just wanted to say that I really do feel like people have been growing and improving so much as writers as the weeks go by. It's kind of amazing.

Ooh, best of luck to all four tie-breaker-ettes! As always, I'm sad to see [livejournal.com profile] malruniel11 and [livejournal.com profile] morning_stand go.

[livejournal.com profile] morning_stand?!? NOOO! She is the person who introduced me to Idol. If it weren't for her, I may not have had a clue what this was or even be here :(

Surprisingly, I think I am the only one from my original pre-Idol friends list that is still here. And I was worried I would be the first to go.

I'm the only one of my pre-Idol friends, too. I think they were in much tougher tribes than I was, though.

When I started, I was unemployed, so it was a breeze. I now have a full-time job and I am finding it difficult to keep up at times. I have no kids though and my hubby works out of town a lot, so I have a ton of free time on my hands in the evenings. Even then, it gets to be difficult...

Yeah, I had a feeling it was us this week. I am grateful to have made it this far! And I'll try to stick around for the home game :) Julia Idol will be the season 30 winner :)

You better stick around! And I hope to be around to vote for Julia when the time comes. Man, I will feel pretty dang old (as if I don't feel old now) ;)

I accomplished my goal of staying in through week 11! It has been a blast, and maybe next time I won't be working 18 hour days and be able to put a little more focus on my writing instead of just pushing to make deadline. I know I will definitely be sticking around.

morning_stand, I am so honored to have been your partner this week, and I am sorry to see you out of the competition so soon. I hope you stick around for home game, too. I've enjoyed watching you grow in your writing this season, getting to know you a little more and watching your baby girl grow through pictures! *hugs*

Oompf, 18 hour days sound rough. I know how real life can interfere. I'm glad to hear you're sticking around, though!

:(

It bothers me when people can turn in a half-assed entry and then they can easily rely on their non-idol friends to carry them through and get nearly as many votes as people who put forth a lot of thought and effort into their entries.

I'm not intending to start drama, I just needed to vent because it bothers me when hard work doesn't always get rewarded. Granted, I do think that most of the contestants recognize effort and originality and do their best to promote entries that show it. I just get annoyed when votes aren't as deserved as the (lack of) effort put forth.

From: [identity profile] pixiebelle.livejournal.com
I agree. It can be frustrating...but I understand that is just how it works. The gatekeeper rounds and friends-only votes sure help even it out a bit though.

I'm sorry to see anyone go...golly I have a feeling each week will feel "unexpected" and "tough". I'm looking forward to the fiery entries though.

Home game it though, I sure hope! It sounds like Gary has some fun twisty turns in mind...

I didn't vote for many people at all this week and morning_stand was one of the few, so I'm especially miffed about that one.

Good luck to all run-off contestants.

Would it be too much to ask to link to this, even though I submitted it too late for voting? I'm actually quite proud of this one. If not, no worries, it's something I think I needed to write anyway. :)
