Results - Week 17

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

It was another poll, and another week of nail biting excitement! I accidentally bit off someone's finger. But nail, finger, what's the difference between friends, right?

This is the ever-present Doom, so you knew it wasn't going to be a pretty ending. There were 10 contestants scheduled to go home. In this situation though, we ended up losing only 9. Tribe 2 had a 3-way tie for that last spot. Which means they stay alive a little bit longer, in hopes of being redeemed.

There were two sacrifices this time around, one from each tribe: createdestiny and walkertxkitty fell on their swords.

We also lost a hell of a lot of talent the old fashioned way.

Leaving us this week are a collection of beloved veterans and exciting newbies. Goodbye to:

Thank you to all of you! You made it to WEEK 17. That's a fantastic accomplishment, and I hope you are proud of what you were able to accomplish.
I'm really hoping to see all of you in the Home Game, and to stick around to see how this thing plays out!

I've really enjoyed your pieces this season. I hope you stick around and home game it. And come back if there's another season. I've been shocked to see how low you've been in the polls at times... I've really liked some of your stuff. Stick around?

Your entry this week was excellent, and you've done some great work in the competition. I'm glad it's gotten you more into writing!

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

Great run, man. You've had some really great work this season. You did great and I hope you stick around.

[sarcasmoqueen.livejournal.com]

That's so rough - you'll all be missed. :-(

[wolfden.livejournal.com]

You will all be missed. :-( I hope that you will stay around and home game and be in the GR still.

[similiesslip.livejournal.com]

I hate to lose so many at once. And these were good writers..

I hope you all write for the home game!

[poppetawoppet.livejournal.com]

I can't say that I'm surprised, as I've been watching the vote totals for the last few weeks, and I'm actually honored to be in the company of my fellow evictees right now, especially pricelessone, who is the reason I came to the competition in the first place. (what a list. Wow.)

I can also honestly say this is the first time I feel good about leaving, and I'm excited to home game it up.

[similiesslip.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to know you will write for the home game:)

[lapis-lazuli615.livejournal.com]

I have to say, I'm really sad at this. But, I've learned something about my writing and found an interesting voice that I haven't had before, so it was definitely worth it.

Also, I met my goal of staying in until I was voted out, instead of bye-ing out like I did in Season 6. So... I count this as a win!

Thank you to everyone that read and commented on my stories, and those that voted for me!!

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

I thought it was awesome reading your fiction this season. I think you have a very unique voice and that's something to be proud of for sure.

I'm sorry to see you go :/

[halfshellvenus.livejournal.com]

Awww, it's even harder to lose so many people at once.

So many good writers, and I'm glad to have gotten to know you through your writing!

[lilycobalt.livejournal.com]

Definitely a week of nail biting excitement! I'm surprised I still have fingers after watching these polls.

You have all done excellent entries this season, and I am sorry to see each of you go.

[muchtooarrogant.livejournal.com]

The votes were so close this week that I prepared my death speech. *grin*

So many good authors leaving. You will be missed!

I was scared, too! It's getting really tight and there are more and more great people leaving.

[poppetawoppet.livejournal.com]

<3

[thaliontholwen.livejournal.com]

Yep. Saw it coming a mile away. Not surprised at all.

See y'all on the flipside.

[pixiebelle.livejournal.com]

I'm very sad about seeing you go. I've really enjoyed your writing this season.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Noooo - not pricelessone! And walkertxkitty too? *pouty*

Everyone will be missed, but those were particular favorites of mine.

[pricelessone.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Ro! Best of luck to you!

[the-day-setup.livejournal.com]

Brutal. Absolutely brutal. On multiple fronts.

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

I read that as "fonts."

I need to go to bed. :P

[myrna-bird.livejournal.com]

What crew to leave!I have enjoyed reading and getting to know all of you. Hope you can write some for the home game and still visit in the GR.

[jacq22.livejournal.com]

Hard to take as these were the writers I looked up to, especially when I look back, and after a very shaky start was helped by encouragement from comments given by them.

Will still be looking for those names.

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

This was definitely the hardest list to see so far.

Gary and his nailbiting doom.

[walkertxkitty.livejournal.com]

Well, it's that danged real life interfering again. At least it's not mine or Dee's health which caused the problem this time. The winch we use to load my wheelchair into its carrier suffered a short circuit after a rain. When it failed, the chair rolled backwards and pinned Dorie's knee between it and the truck body.

The chair weighs nearly as much as I do.

Still waiting to see whether or not she needs a surgical consult or if the joint will repair itself but this leaves me without a caretaker (Dee is not allowed to lift me or the chair). This I am busy taking care of what I can around the house while he makes sure his sister stays off that knee and does what he can for me.

We will manage, but not if I am writing and writing on a deadline. I tend to ignore all else so the competition had to go.

I will try to be around the green room and I hope to do home game topics when time permits and when they suit me.

Thanks for all the support and friendship!

[drjeff.livejournal.com]

Oh my goodness. I really hope Dee is okay. And you're such a wonderful writer... never stop!

[nodressrehersal.livejournal.com]

It was a fun run, but I'm sorry I wasn't able to hang in there longer. I've met some lovely people here, so it was worth the time.

[jem0000000.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Will you be Home Gaming?

[jem0000000.livejournal.com]

.....! CANNIBAL!

...cannible? cannable? ...Hannibal! Wait, that's not the same thing.

[mstrobel.livejournal.com]

Wait, what? pricelessone's entry was one of my whole-season-so-far absolute favourites! I AM GOING TO CRY NOW.

I'm also sad to see so many other lovely names on that list, this is getting tough now :(

[pricelessone.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! That makes it worth it, right there. <3

[theafaye.livejournal.com]

I am stunned by so many of those names. Last week's poll was truly brutal.

[pricelessone.livejournal.com]

Thank you to everyone who has been so sweet and encouraging this season. It was a great season, and I loved getting the chance to compete with my sis nannerz2cool and friend, leftygirl02. So this season was really special for me. Best of luck to everyone still competing and THANK YOU ALL for your support <3

[jem0000000.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

I hope we'll still see you around? Will you be Home Gaming?
