Results - Week 24 - Round Two

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Wow! What a finish!!!

With the way that poll was jumping during the last few hours, I wasn't entirely sure what I was going to see when I hit "close".

Before we get to that though, I do want to put some people on notice: I'm sure you think you are trying to help, and there weren't enough of them to shift the results, but ultimately the person/people you like are going to be the ones who end up suffering/being cheated.

I don't want to see any more accounts for Harry Potter characters voting. (or any other accounts someone may have set up to write "in character".) If you want to contact me, it's clauderainsrm@gmail.com and we can discuss it.

It's certainly not widespread, but it has been noticed and it needs to stop now before it does cost your favorite their shot. I hate bringing it up (because it brings a distaste to people's mouths, but hopefully the fact that I do have an eye on it reassures people in that same breath), but I dislike the idea that someone thought that I wasn't paying attention. You get what you put into Idol, and I'm quite certain no one wants you to add that sort of thing to their experience. Even if you think you are being helpful. So cut it out.

Now we get to the results:

We established that, with Round Two, regardless of the outcome, it was going to be a sad one. Sure enough, that certainly turned out to be the case.

The four writers leaving us - and the first members of the Jury who will be voting each week to give immunity, are

basric
i_17bingo
imafarmgirl
and
lilyinchains

Being Jury members, that means they had better stick around, to help decide how this season is going to play out! But I hope that we continue to see them around regardless! Thank you for everything. Getting to this point in the competition is an amazing accomplishment. Congratulations.

I never expected to get beyond the first vote. Thanks to all of you who bothered to take the time to read my entries and especially to take the time to comment.

I love the evil twists and thought I would go on the first one thrown at us. I knew one person when I began and now I have so many new friends. I never expected to win and am thrilled to have made it this far. Good luck to you all, I have my favorites.

Thank you to a great mod and to rattsu who introduced me to idol. Thank you to every one who ticked a vote for me.

I'm so glad I got to know you though idol and very sad to see you go.

Looking forward to getting to know you better. :) *hugs*

[basric.livejournal.com]

That's very nice of you, thank you.

[locknkey.livejournal.com]

I so very much enjoyed your entries. :)

I thought you might take this whole thing. I've loved your stories every single week, and I looked forward to your entries. Thus, I'm very sad that you're leaving.

But I'm really glad we've become friends and happy that you'll still be around on my flist. :)

[basric.livejournal.com]

You know how I feel. Thanks.

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

I was really shocked to see you go this week. Truly shocked.

Just wow. I hope you stick around though.

[basric.livejournal.com]

I was not, I haven't written the prompt due tomorrow night. I expected it. But thanks for the kind words.

I think you were the biggest shock to see up there! You looked safe for pretty much the entire poll!

[gorengal.livejournal.com]

Rats! You were the poll leader when I voted this afternoon, so I'm quite surprised. I know you're not, but the rest of us are! *hugs* You had a great run and I've enjoyed your entries. Well done.

[basric.livejournal.com]

Thanks for your support through it all, I hope you will think about joining it next season.

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

I enjoyed your stories a lot and am really sorry to see you go. :-(

[basric.livejournal.com]

Thank you, that's very nice of you to say.

[joeymichaels.livejournal.com]

You were my pick to win this. I am stunned and disappointed to see you eliminated.

[basric.livejournal.com]

Thank you but I knew at the beginning of the poll this was my week to go. That final ten minute block of votes will get you every time in a poll this small.

Since the US Trauma Team has been in training for the last 2 months learning to live in a radioactive environment safely, I have been expecting to be shipped out and over to Japan at any time so I'd have had to drop then anyway.

You were so safe when I went to bed, and now I wake up and *sighs*. Curse you time difference!

I never, ever in a million years thought you'd go out this round, your stuff's been consistently amazing, illuminating and just plain awesome.

[basric.livejournal.com]

Thanks for your support.

[mstrobel.livejournal.com]

Your entry this week was seriously one of the most amazing ones I have ever read. Talk about going out on a high!

[theafaye.livejournal.com]

Out of everyone, you were the one person I thought would be around for a long time after this second round. I loved your story this week, as I have for many weeks.

Would it be too much to ask that you home game it? :oD

[basric.livejournal.com]

You are very kind, but I'm not sure I want to keep writing hospital stories right now, I need a break. Thank you though.

[myrna-bird.livejournal.com]

Oh my. I couldn't believe it when I saw the results. Just like RL, can't take anything for granted. People seemed to eat your stories up and you were ahead when I voted.
It has been a fun game. I really appreciate that you supported me too. I hope the jury experience brings you some satisfaction!
Thanks too for the birthday bear and candy gift. That was unexpected and very sweet of you!
