LJ Idol Presents:

I am super slow on commenting - just now getting to a few comments today, and I hope to do more this evening and tomorrow. Apologies! It's been one of those weeks.

Some shout-outs for awesome writing which is needing more love (there may be more later), one per each poll:

- tatdatcm's entry (http://tatdatcm.livejournal.com/55516.html) in the "young" poll is like a deep draught of summer, full of sensory images and nostalgia.

- I have a soft spot for dystopias, and m1ss1ngcupcake's "time" entry (http://m1ss1ngcupcake.livejournal.com/3115.html) is a really great piece - there's good characterization, a neat setup, and nice details.

- I really liked everywordiwrite's "smell" entry (http://everywordiwrite.livejournal.com/89294.html) - it's hard to write about something personal and literally painful and still have it be so relatable, and I think she did a great job with that. Complicated things are complicated, and it's awfully hard to disentangle them.

- I was super excited by joyfulfeather's "flaw" entry (http://joyfulfeather.livejournal.com/1110845.html). It's a fascinating peek into a critical stage of development for the next generation of our space program, and joyfulfeather is TOTALLY right in there helping make it go. SO COOL!

- And in the "bamf" poll, I see that tatdatcm is a little low on votes, which just seems wrong to me - this story (http://tatdatcm.livejournal.com/55065.html) has got a lot going for it - tons of action, good world building, nice details. You should read it, and then click on clicky buttons and vote for it, just like so.
