Week 19 is over, and it's time to assess what the voters have given us this time around.

Saying "it's brutal" would be accurate, but maybe not quite up to par with the reality of the situation. But then again, it was going to be like this regardless of what happened. After all, we have been together a long time at this point, and it's only going to get more difficult to say goodbye as time continues to pass.

The one good thing to come from it is that there was a tie in Tribe 1, which means that we will be losing one less than originally planned.

The bad news, of course, is that we still need to say goodbye to an absolutely fantastic group of writers, newbie and veteran.

Leaving us this week are:

From Tribe 1
[livejournal.com profile] rumplebuttkins
[livejournal.com profile] wookiewife


From Tribe 2
[livejournal.com profile] furzicle
[livejournal.com profile] nialyind
[livejournal.com profile] shimmerdream


Thank you to all of you, for coming out this season, and helping to shape it. I hope we will continue to see you in the Home Game, and supporting your favorites, to continue to leave your mark on this season, and Idol itself.

First? LOL.

Okay, now that that non-achievement is out of the way: Thanks for reading, commenting, beta-ing, et cetera. It's been another fun ride, and I've enjoyed having the chance to play with my fiction in this sandbox.

Home Game? Honestly, I depend on your deadlines of doom to get anything done, so it's unlikely. Maybe a topic will catch my eye, though!

One less dirty hippie on your lawn, Gary!

And...you're FIRST!!! Confetti Kitty says you can never have too much confetti :)

I'm so sorry to see you go. I've enjoyed reading you this season. Then again, I've always enjoyed reading you.

What a way to get a first! Sorry to see you go. Good on you for that sense of humor though!

I will miss you and the others who wre leaving this week. Hope to still see you in the GR or writing some home games maybe.

Yep yep, I was expecting that. Thank you, [livejournal.com profile] therealljidol for putting up with me for this long! I'll see you in the GR (if I can find my keyboard in the morning under all the paperwork) and in the home-game, too. And, hopefully, next season!

I think you had an awesome ride this season! And you were my inspiration a week or so back ;)

Thanks to all who contributed last-minute love. <3

The worst part is, as we get further into this, I'm seeing more and more people whom I really loved falling out of the competition. :(

Aww, not [livejournal.com profile] shimmerdream! They were one of my favorites. :( :( :(

It really is getting ever more brutal in the Land of LJ Idol, isn't it? :/

I guess it must be time for me to bow out. I didn't even remember to vote this week, I was so thrashed from work. Good bye, all. Thanks for all your support this year.

I'm, obviously, quite sad to see this week's group go. We had talked about it though, and knew it was going to be one of us for sure, and while I can't speak for [livejournal.com profile] rumplebuttkins, I do know that he was probably pretty ready for it.

Everyone leaving this week is someone who I recognize, have enjoyed, and overall really will miss. Michael especially though, has shown how creative and witty he is. I knew he was talented in many areas, I'm really excited that this was one of them. <3

Oh and because I forgot...
The answer to last week's poll (http://wookiewife.livejournal.com/1323566.html) was the pre-hanging the outfits one. That weird thing is actually something a co-worker does, so thank you, RE, for lending me your little bit o' freakiness.

Well, it seems the topic betrayed me. Someone had to say it, didn't they? ;)

Seriously though, I've loved every moment of LJ Idol (even the times when I was whingeing about the topic). It's such a great community, and it's really increased my confidence in my writing.

Plus, I've achieved my two main goals - To not be voted out in week 2 and to make the Top 100. So I'm content.

From: [identity profile] wolfden.livejournal.com
That's how I felt when I went out last week - I didn't get voted out the first week and made the Top 100. My other goal was to get voted out and not because I missed a deadline or couldn't come up with anything so I made that goal too.

LJ Idol was a great experience for me too - I've never shared so much of my writing before.

I honestly thought that I was going to be voted out about 3 weeks ago. The fact that I continued to be voted-through just felt like I had somehow stumbled into some "Bonus Rounds" of some sort.

When its all said and done, LJ Idol (with some help from last year's NaNoWriMo) did exactly what I hoped it would do: It got me writing and thinking creatively again. I don't think I could ask for much more than that.
