Vote - Week 23

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

A few words from clauderainsrm:

This week’s threesomes have produced some fantastic results.

I think everyone is going to be quite pleased with what they have to read this week!

Credit where credit is due, and as I’ve said before – the idea of having three people was inspired by a group of three that teamed up last season. What I didn’t say was what they inspired me to do!!

People love intersections and pairing up with each other to face the world. They love it.

I never said this was an intersection!

You haven’t picked your partners. You’ve chosen your opponents! : ) Welcome to your Truel!

The 13 contestants who finish at the bottom of their respective polls will face off in a second round. No, I’m not eliminating them outright, but it also won’t be the best thing ever either!

The polls will close Saturday April 30th at 7pm EDT. Read. Comment and vote for your favorites, to keep them out of harm’s way!

Good luck to everyone!

That expresses what I think of *that*.

[nyxocity.livejournal.com]

Yeah. What she said. Only with more !@&*#&@!*&*%#!

[nyxocity.livejournal.com]

I'm... too stunned to say anything nice right now.

[locknkey.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

Well, you and team_jessie have my votes. :)

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

Nooooooo!!!!!!!!!! Why, Gary, WHY? I don't want to put either of my partners in that position :( That said, I think I'll accept if I end up in round 2. Which is why I just voted for everyone in my team. So there. :P

Gary, will the second round be based on these entries, or will the participants be given a new topic?

[solstice-singer.livejournal.com]

I agree. My entire team has my votes. We rocked!

[tara]

Haha, brilliantly played, Gary :D

[vaguelyclear.livejournal.com]

I agree! So didn't see that coming. I like me a good twist :D

I can think of only one thing to say at this revelation:

[ellakite.livejournal.com]

And that is:

WELCOME BACK GARY!!!!!!

Man, for a while there, I thought some impostor had replaced you. Boy, am I relieved!

ps: i'm going to step in front of a bus now, and it's all your fault.

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

I actually predicted this might happen...

Crap. Crap. Crap.

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

And you didn't think to warn us? :P

[joeymichaels.livejournal.com]

I am of mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, my results won't drag my partners down. On the other hand, I have no desire to see either alephz or supremegoddess1 eliminated.

To that end, I won't take it in the least bit personally if people choose to vote for either of them instead of me. Indeed, I would be grateful to not see them get eliminated.

So, consider me Team alephz and Team supremegoddess1!

[cheshire23.livejournal.com]

I feel much the same way.

This is a week further than I made it last year, so I certainly cannot complain if I go out now..

I had a blast working with basric and momebie. I think all three of us did a fine job, and I'm not going to un-support them now. Wouldn't be fair.

[solstice-singer.livejournal.com]

Ugh. This is sadistic, or something. I worked with such talented people. And, right now, the three of us are tied. Hmmmmm. I wonder how this will play out.

[sra33.livejournal.com]

Ummmmmmmmm.......

Interesting...

[fourzoas.livejournal.com]

What a twist!

[joeymichaels.livejournal.com]

[team-jessie.livejournal.com]

Dude.

[nyxocity.livejournal.com]

DOOD.

[beeker121.livejournal.com]

It's because this week you are going to pick two fellow contestants to join up with!!!

So I suppose that doesn't say intersection, but really? And of course this will go into round 2 on the day I'm planning to spend hanging with my nieces and nephews who I only see a few times a year.

Pbbbbthhh!

(as on observer I appreciate the twist, as a participant it makes me cry a little)

[momebie.livejournal.com]

This is all very exciting. Evil, but exciting.

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

Heh. Awesomely appropriate icon ;)

[yachiru]

Evil! Wicked! >_>

[team-jessie.livejournal.com]

Khaaaaaaan!

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

Umf. I have a headache.

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

I do too, but I think it's because I haven't been drinking enough water >.>

[lawchicky.livejournal.com]

The thought had crossed my mind that Gary might break us into 13 different tribes this way, but I'd dismissed it because I couldn't see him eliminating 13 contestants in one shot. Of course leave it to Gary to think of a "round 2" scenario. I'm crossing my fingers that all three members of my team will be writing next week, even though one of us will be subjected to that second round!

[the-vernacular.livejournal.com]

Yeah, same here. Eek!

I love how we wrote stories about three ladies getting eliminated now.

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

Question - I just checked our poll and we three are tied... what happens in the (unlikely, I'll admit) event that we are tied when the polls finish?

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

I wondered that myself.

[redvelvetgrrl.livejournal.com]

damn. I kind of expected an odd voting round, but did not predict this.

[the-vernacular.livejournal.com]

alephz and I kinda did.

[vaguelyclear.livejournal.com]

Well this should be interesting.

[alephz.livejournal.com]

Gary, you magnificent bastard.

I read your book.

[joeymichaels.livejournal.com]

This is like one of those issues where Blue Burst, Red Raider and Ocelotia are forced by Major Malice to fight for his amusement.

[lilyinchains.livejournal.com]

*Zoink*.......Yikes. Why, why did I hook up with GREAT writers?!?!?!? LOL, this is awesome.

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

Because you had no choice, because everyone left is great? :D

[basric.livejournal.com]

I am writing with two excellent writers so I have no choice but let the votes fall where they will.

My problem is--there are some teams that were so tight, so in sync, all unbelievably great. How AM I TO CHOOSE THE ONE NOT TO VOTE FOR. Voting for all three is like voting for none.


Sigh.

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

Eh, the way I see it, voting for all three is like giving a nod to all three, saying they're all great. But it does mean letting someone else decide, I suppose *shrug* I'm not opposed to voting for all three entries if I like all three entries enough to want to vote for them. It is a hard decision, though!

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

:wanders in with that peculiar-yet-familiar stunned look on her face:

You magnificant bastard, Gary...and I'm saying that with an equal measure of both love and hate...

:head desk:

[mstrobel.livejournal.com]

You magnificant bastard, Gary...and I'm saying that with an equal measure of both love and hate...

This :D On the one hand, it's evil, but on the other hand - a week with no actual eliminations? That's pretty darn nice! ;)

[joeymichaels.livejournal.com]

One thing I do like about this poll structure is that I feel comfortable reading entries in tiny bursts. Like three here, three there.

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

I was thinking that, too.

Also, I just realised you changed your default icon. THIS IS SO FREAKY, I AM NOT USED TO THIS!

[serpentpixie.livejournal.com]

Wait, WHAT?

[alephz.livejournal.com]

That is entirely the correct reaction.
