Results - Week 11

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Anyone who managed to make it to the Top 10 deserves a round of applause. Heck, anyone who has the courage to step into this Thunderdome at all deserves one. But right now we are looking at the Top 10, so let’s concentrate on them, while we still can.

Because by the end of this post, we will only have a Top 6!

Saying that the people leaving us today are amazing does a disservice to the word. Absolutely top-notched writers, and people - unlike those who are staying, who are all top-notched writers and completely reprobates! ;)

You did yourselves proud, and I hope to continue to see a lot more of your writing in the very near future!

Leaving us this week:

applespicy
halfshellvenus
lrig_rorrim
and the person who came back from the very back of the pack this morning, with fans that managed to help propel her within a few votes of pulling off a comeback, theun4givables


Thank you for coming out for this mini-season. I hope you had fun, and that you will keep cheering down this final stretch, to see how this is going to turn out!

Oh - and make sure you send me your Top 5 requests from the Community Chest! http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/633787.html

First? :O

Congratulations to all. o_o Gary's right, making it this far is AN ACCOMPLISHMENT. I am not often around anymore, no, but I have mad respect for you all. :)

Those are some amazing writers. This poll was awfully tense, especially at the end!

I am sad, I'm going to miss halfshellvenus. She's lovely!

Good job, all of you! Definitely top-notch talent going home this week, especially halfshellvenus and lrig_rorrim.

Well, I made a fucking effort. ;)

Well, 7th ain't too damn shabby, if you ask me. I won't say I'm not a little disappointed I couldn't pull it out at the last possible second, but I did fucking try to rally the troops, so to speak. And just fell a tiny bit short. That? Still an accomplishment, in my book.

I love the hell out of this competition and it's made me a stronger writer in just the past couple of months -- I always push myself for Idol. To me, that's really the point of it.

...but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to win, either. ;)

Those are all great writers - you guys did exceptionally well!

I've been such a slacker with reading, but I'm really heartbroken to see applespicy leaving. She's an amazing writer and one of the few folks out there who make me WANT to read fiction on LJ.

it was a pretty good week for poetry, I guess? I'm sad to see my fellow fiction writers gone :(

Looks like my curse continues, of making it to the Top 10 and then getting voted out. Glad I made it this far, but I'd hoped to make it a little farther. NOoooooooo!

Also very sad and surprised to see lrig_rorrim leaving with me again. She was one of my top two picks to win this round! Aw, guys, what were you thinking?

:( I don't even know what to say. I love you four and am very very saddened by this.

I really hate this part of this game.

WHAAAAAAAAAAT HOW DID THIS HAPPEN. I HATE MYSELF FOR FORGETTING TO READ TODAY.

So, I tried to stay up late to get the results. I made it until one local time and fell asleep. My amazing powers of staying up late are much diminished over here. I woke up in the middle of the night, saw this post and the poll, said "aw shit", went back to bed and tried to sleep more.

Writing while traveling is hard, and my admiration for season 8 winner whipchick, who managed to do her magic while on the road all over the world and working, has only gone up during this last week (and it was pretty darn high to begin with).

Oh, and for the record, it was my own topic that got my eliminated. I think there's a curse or something. ;)

It's been amazingly fun writing with all of you! Thank you guys for reading my weird little stories, and for your support and comments.
