The new topic, and surprise...

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Yes, there is another surprise. I can hear the muttering under your breath already!

This one though involves an idea proposed by your very own fellow contestant zebrapix, taken and warped in my very own style!*g*

So let's deal with the surprise first - it is called "SUDDEN DEATH" and involves one contestant challenging another contestant to a "write off". The two participants will have their own topic, and their own poll with just the two of them.

This may or may not be every week. Honestly? I haven't decided yet, and even if I had, I wouldn't tell you!*g*

What I WILL tell you though is that the person who will get to pick their opponent is going to be the person who came closest to be eliminated. Which, this week, was techempage.

So, techempage, please post here ASAP and choose who you want to face in a one on one writing show down!!! One of you WILL be eliminated next week!

(EDIT TO ADD: The two contestants with nullifier powers CAN use them to nullify a challenge. In which case the challenged party would automatically be the person with the next fewest votes.)
***

As for the rest of you, you're waiting for the topic for everyone else.

I was thinking about all of the various religious holidays over this week/couple of weeks and there is one general theme that keeps coming up. That of rebirth/transformation.

Slave to free, sinner to saved, flesh to spirit, the celebration of birth and fertility. . . it's about major and fundamental change. (yes, yes, there's a lot more, but go with me here!*g*)

So it's appropriate that we should have so many changes here in the game as well. So many awakenings, and fundamental changes in how you are seeing your part in this adventure.

Your topic this week is "My Transformation".

Everyone has one. Some are big and earth shattering. Others are small but poignant. There are quite a few of you who are going though your own life transformations as we speak.

As always, have fun with the topic and make it your own.

The deadline to link your entry back to this post is Wednesday April 11th at 3 pm EST (GMT -4)

...but the 36 year-old me would smack the lit major and tell him to crack a real book sometime.
