Voting - Week 37 - Finale

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

A few words from clauderainsrm:

We've come a long way together since that first poll.

Some days it seems like forever, and some days it seems like, well, OK, it still doesn't feel like yesterday.

But a lot less than "forever".

Here we are though, it was all leading up to this - the Final Two.

The last chance to clicky those clicky boxes.

It has been an amazing season and I hope everyone who was paying attention at any point will poke their heads back in here one last time to help us determine the winner. Because both of these competitors deserve to be here, and both would deserve to win. It's just a matter of which one of them the voters are going to select.

The final poll will close Monday August 9th at 9pm EDT, so it's a short window of time to make sure to get the word out but a long time when it comes to reading the final two entries. Hopefully everyone will take some of that to go back over their previous work this season to get a full appreciation of what makes them so very special.

Congratulations to both of you - and to all of us for getting to this point.

Good luck to us all!!!

The final poll!!! Good luck to both of you. You're amazing writers. ♥

[alephz.livejournal.com]

Best of luck, you two!

You've earned the heck outta this!

[beautyofgrey.livejournal.com]

(That goes for me and Beth.) :P

[superhappytime.livejournal.com]

Ha ha. Starship. Awesome.

[oneonthefence.livejournal.com]

Good luck to both of you. You are two amazing writers (and friends), and I'm thrilled to see you both here in the finals, where you deserve to be! <3

I can't believe this is the last vote!

It is almost sad, but also the hugest of reliefs.

[hug-machine.livejournal.com]

Waah, it all comes down to this!

You guys are BOTH amazingly talented and I've loved seeing what you come up with and aaagh

I'll be biting my nails over here...

It's weird to be voting in this poll...

Because at the same time we are selecting the "winner", we are also selecting the person who won't be able to play again.

It's been a long season, but I'm glad to see two very deserving people here at the end.

[rattsu.livejournal.com]

I might not have time to play again regardless... at least that's what I'm saying now *grins*

[creature-girl08.livejournal.com]

It is hard to believe we have come down to this final poll. Wishing the very best for the two of you. Very worthy individuals.

[cacophonesque.livejournal.com]

Also... anyone else wondering what happens in the event of a tie?

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Whoever gives me the most cookies wins. :p

Seriously though, looking at the results thus far and just what very distinct styles we have with the two of them, the camps have been pretty close these last few *months* as far as "who likes one style more than the other", so this one could very well come down to being *really* close!

[notbatman.livejournal.com]

I can't recall the last time I didn't vote for both of them.

I haven't read either yet, but... what the hell?

[beautyofgrey.livejournal.com]

We declare a joint winner and everyone gets some sleep? :D :D :D

[rattsu.livejournal.com]

I'd be down for that!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Serious answer:

Season 2 finale was decided by a tie-breaker OF A TIE-BREAKER, where the winner won by a *single vote*.

So it's happened before.

[alycewilson.livejournal.com]

Who should win? Such a difficult choice! But whoever it is, we are all richer for having had the chance to read both of your work. I couldn't be happier to see the two of you at the top.

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

In all honesty, I cannot choose between them right now.

[marjory.livejournal.com]

Ooh! Fiddy-fiddy right now! This is exciting!

[angelic-mystic.livejournal.com]

Oh good grief, talk about a close race.

[alephz.livejournal.com]

I know! It's such a nail-biter!

[notbatman.livejournal.com]

Now that I'm out, I keep getting the day that the polls close wrong!

This is the second or third time I've logged in to see the results thinking they've been up for over an hour.

And there's no post! So I hurry to the poll to find that it's still open and then I get all, like, "WTF, dude! Call it already!"

And then I realize I'm a dumb-ass who has a tenuous command of the days of the week.

In related news: I haven't yet seen the poll in a state where there was more than one vote separating the contestants.

[rattsu.livejournal.com]

Nope, I really hope that whoever wins will only do it by one. That would be awesome.

And what if there's a draw...?

[battle-kitten.livejournal.com]

I can't believe it's the last week and fantastic entries from two great writers! Good luck guys!

[impoetry.livejournal.com]

Voted! Congratulations and best of luck!

[fourzoas.livejournal.com]

Man! That was tough in the good way with ice cream.

Good luck to you both!

What will life be without refreshing?!!?!?1

[quizzicalsphinx.livejournal.com]

[alephz.livejournal.com]

I KNOW.

-gnaws off fingers-

[rattsu.livejournal.com]

If we are each tied at exactly 100 votes, I demand a screenshot. That's just too awesome.

[beautyofgrey.livejournal.com]

Here you go: http://pics.livejournal.com/beautyofgrey/pic/00109210/s640x480

:D :D

[rattsu.livejournal.com]

Augh! I almost wonder if people were adjusting the votes just to get that.

I am such a fan of biiig round numbers.

[beautyofgrey.livejournal.com]

I've felt that way all day.....

And me, too. :P

[rattsu.livejournal.com]

They like to see us suffer!

Oh well, I'm off to the couch and later bed, may the fates fall as they might!

FYI - Kitty Michaels and I have posted bonus entries for you to read during the final hour of voting.
