Results - Week 11

There were twice as many entries, and a LOT more casualties this time around. Which means that there are some awesome writers entering the Home Game this week.

I’ve noticed that I’ve started saying that rather than just “eliminated”, Maybe it makes me feel better about it. Or maybe it’s to hide the fact that the “Home Game” is what I call the woodchipper out back.

Regardless of the reason, it’s always sad to be losing folks, and as we get closer to the end, that’s just going to intensify.

Leaving us this week are:

[livejournal.com profile] alycewilson
[livejournal.com profile] cheshire23
[livejournal.com profile] meepalicious
[livejournal.com profile] mythingperson (although her alter ego is still very much alive!)
[livejournal.com profile] oxymoron67
[livejournal.com profile] tatdatcm

Thank you to all of you for coming out this mini-season, and I hope you will continue to support your favorites and see how this crazy thing is going to end!

My alter ego is going out in some very fine company this week. Damn.

Thanks to everyone who voted for mythingperson week after week as I played with this pesky not-fiction stuff. It's weird, I tell you, weird. Now that I've had some modicum of success with it, I might dabble in it with this name, too, from time to time. :)

Also: WHEW, I'm glad to not be writing two (or four!) things a week anymore.

I seriously would never play this game with more than one account - you did really well writing for two!!

Can you believe you made the Top 20 with an unknown "alt" account, and writing double entries, AND writing the non-fiction you always thought you were no good at?

I knew you had it in you!

Top 20 TWICE in the same game! That is preeeettty damn impressive. As the Klingons would say - YOU DIED WELL! Or one of you did anyway. :P

Very impressive. I thought you had an alt, I just couldn't figure out who it was. I'm not surprised that you made it so far with both, but I'm happy that you're still in with one.

Good luck!

....copyright1983 explained to me at dinner this evening that "mythingperson" sounds like "mything person," not "my thing person." *lightbulb*

*headdesk*

Yay for not writing four things anymore!!! <3 And I had no idea. :-D

Y'know, I was starting to wonder -- there were a few times when the narrative voice sort of collided. And then I thought, "Nah, that's the Idol Paranoia talking. Gary's doing his job too well."

Good job with that. :-)

I could see the writing on the wall, given the voting period coincided with Otakon, and many of my friends were too busy to read and vote. As always, it was fun! Looking forward to playing the home game, with all of the creative inspiration and none of the voting stress.

Oh no! A few of those I suspected from the numbers, but I'm very sorry to see my friend and intersection partner (and awesome Intro writer) [livejournal.com profile] alycewilson go! *Sadface*

Everyone did really well! This just keeps getting harder each week...

It does take the sting out of it to know I'm leaving in the company of so many great writers.

[identity profile] halfshellvenus.livejournal.com 2013-08-13 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
I had a lot of votes for people in that list! Proving once again that Idol's taste is not necessarily mine.

You all wrote so many wonderful stories over the course of Exhibit B, and I'm so glad you took up that challenge!

[identity profile] alycewilson.livejournal.com 2013-08-13 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
I have no complaints. One of the things that's changed since my first experiences with Idol is that poetry actually does quite well. I sort of wish now that I'd written two poems!

I did, too. I think, though, we've made it to the point where all the eliminations are going to be people we enjoy.

[identity profile] oxymoron67.livejournal.com 2013-08-13 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm good with it. I saw it coming, and, honestly, I got farther than I thought I would.

Boooooo to multiple people on this list!

Boo to them leaving I mean, not boo to them in general.

[identity profile] alycewilson.livejournal.com 2013-08-13 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Assuming I'm one of them -- or even if I'm not -- thanks.

I figured it was About That Time.
It's been a great run! :)
I'll be around. <3

You continue to underestimate your own excellence. (Though I know how you feel. I think I'm still here because everyone thought I was lrig_rorrim's alt.) And everyone departing this time is beyond brilliant.

I kind of saw this coming as I watched the polls this week, but I'm honestly a little relieved. With school starting and traveling on the horizon, I was worried about how I would keep up in the next few weeks.

Still, I am very excited that I made it to the Top 20, both in Exhibit A and Exhibit B! It's given me the idea that I might have some smidgen of ability to tell a story and the desire to work on developing some of what I've written into something more.

Thanks to EVERYONE for all the valuable input and kind words on every one of my entries.

Good luck to the final 14!!

"It's given me the idea that I might have some smidgen of ability to tell a story..."

Um, YES!
