Results - Week 2

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

It’s been a strange, and definitely thought-provoking week - and I’m not even talking about what has been going on at Idol!

But since we are gathered here, and that’s probably what you want to hear about right now, I guess it’s best to get on with the business at hand.

I’ll handle the worst news first, since it’s the first time that Second Chance Idol will be eliminating folks this mini-season, and that’s never an easy thing. In the early stages, it’s really easy to find yourself out before you know it. Fortunately, they did get a couple weeks under their belt. But just as unfortunately, things just didn’t work out. I hope that when you get the chance, you go back and read their work over the next couple of weeks. Idol has a history of “early boots” coming back the following season and doing really well. I hope that they will stick around, Home Game, and continue that tradition.

Goodbye to dawnstar and fred_fierce


Those leaving from the other tribes will be joining the depleted Second Chancers next week.

The tie-inspired “Sudden Death” tribe is losing ashgaelsonaria and padf00t
and the main competition is offering up to the SCI fates:
_rabidwombat_
florencestoker
poppetawoppet
recklessblues
taleanea

There were scheduled to be two more being sent off, but due to another tie, they will to sent to a slightly different fate. Except for thegrimms who has been spared by a surprise immunity necklace from kajel!

Good luck in SCI, especially my former writing partner, florencestoker. This is already turning into a very bloody mini season!

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Yay for kajel using her immunity!

Sorry to see the rest of you get booted to SCI and/or off the island! *Hugs*

[sweeny-todd.livejournal.com]

wow...

I am not poll watching this season, so all of that is a surprise.

I second what Gary said - stick around to homegame! and glad that the rest are still in second chance!

[jennickels.livejournal.com]

I feel bad. I missed voting by like 1 minute and two of the people being eliminated I was going to vote for. It might have made a difference. Sorry guys.

I am thrilled to be a part of this, regardless of this week's results.

I know when I'm reading every entry critically and am still voting for 88% of the entries that I am among a great group of writers. Thanks for the opportunity Gary, and of course I will still compete in SCI.

My biggest hurdle these first two weeks has been time management. It is what it is, but I did leave both week's submissions feeling like I could have done much better if I'd only had more time and I am happy to say that I am not discouraged, but rather inspired by all of you. Sweeeet sweet inspiration! :D

Glad to have squeaked by, but the idea of a sudden-death poll next week is intimidating! Especially with only three of us. Yikes!

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

You are joining the existing tribe.

[neverletyoupart.livejournal.com]

*hugs* to everyone and good luck to those of you who will be participating in SCI.

[mothermelete.livejournal.com]

There was a lot of great writing this week, I'm sorry to see people go, but I'm really looking forward to see what's coming.

[dreamsreflected.livejournal.com]

yes exactly!

[bewize.livejournal.com]

Wow, so tense already! Good luck to the new SCI folks!

*offers herself up for a partner*

I feel an immediate draw to the "I wake up strange" half of the intersection, and I prefer imaginative fiction that can get pretty surreal and weird. :)

And actually, I also offer up Seth as the character that I write, and waffles as the object which he talks about. ;) Am open to anything sufficiently imaginative and weird though. :)

Also I am sad and crying all the tears about my recklessblues, but he'll be back. :)

[meepalicious.livejournal.com]

What kind of weird? I think I have an idea.

[medleymisty.livejournal.com]

Okay, please tell me someone else has noticed the bots copying and pasting a phrase from a comment and posting it. Why are they here? What do they want?

I'm scared.

[sweeny-todd.livejournal.com]

yeah - there is one right below you. I don't see the point, myself.

[barrelofrain.livejournal.com]

Looking to pair up with someone who is mostly available Thurs/Fri/Mon as I'm not totally sure what my weekend will look like. Bonus if you are in a timezone somewhat similar to Eastern Daylight Time.

At this point, I could go with either topic. I usually write realistic fiction & nonfiction.

[meepalicious.livejournal.com]

I'm completely opposite EDT (JST is EDT+13) but I can probably work around that a bit, because of the weekend. What sort of nonfiction would you be interested in writing? (There's a little about what I'm thinking of further down the thread, if you're interested.)

Intersection time again! Here's a spreadsheet that will be continuously updated every day with declared and tentative pairings:

[jem0000000.livejournal.com]

Jem0000000 and Jennickels, please. :)

And thanks! My spreadsheet abilities appear to be broken.

[thegrimms.livejournal.com]

Thank you, kajel! That's really wonderful of you. :)

[sweeny-todd.livejournal.com]

I am after a partner :-)

[anyonesghost.livejournal.com]

I also am after a partner. Want some company on this strange and confusing intersection journey?

[poppetawoppet.livejournal.com]

Alas for some reason my vote wouldn't go through at 950. I'm not sure it would have saved anyone, but *shrug*


Now to think of an entry

[meepalicious.livejournal.com]

I still need a partner. I have an idea that I could work for either prompt about the time I kinda sorta almost joined a cult. It's a long story, but a true one, except for the parts with ghosts and boys turning into wolves, which only sorta happened.

Anyone interested?

[x-disturbed-x.livejournal.com]

Nevermind. I found a partner. ;)

[adoptedwriter.livejournal.com]

Looking for an Intersection pal. I've got an idea on the " Oh Lord..." Topic. Non fic idea. Anyone? AW

[banyangirl1832.livejournal.com]

In need of a partner. I've got an idea for "I wake up strange." Mostly-realistic fiction -- I'm also planning on bringing in a couple elements of magical realism to this one.

[bookishgeek.livejournal.com]

I am intrigued. PM me?

[kf4vkp.livejournal.com]

I need an intersection partner, anyone up for it? I even have a couple of ideas rolling around.

[ywery.livejournal.com]

Intersection time again!
