Results - Week 15

The clicky boxes have spoken, and here at Week 15 we are saying goodbye to a couple of my personal favorites.

Which, let’s be honest, most likely we were going to be saying goodbye to my personal favorites regardless of how the results came out. Unless *that person* left… they know who they are! ;)

Seriously though, it’s been a fantastic run and I hope both of you had fun.

Goodbye to

It was a good run, and I'm pleased with the new stories I got to write this time around. I enjoyed playing, and I'll be watching to see what happens. This group of writers/readers seems to "get" [livejournal.com profile] lrig_rorrim better than any before, just as Exhibit A seemed to really "get" [livejournal.com profile] impoetry, and that's been gratifying to watch.

My partner in elimination asked me to link his farewell entry, since he's away from the computer right now. Some parting words from acalculatedname (http://acalculatedname.livejournal.com/6241.html).

Thanks, everyone, for your support this round, and good luck to the final 6!

I really did love your stories this round. :)

Thank you so much!

That last story was a risk, and I lost, but it offered growth into a new voice and approach, and that's always worth it in the long run.

Good luck in the remaining rounds!

You've been one of my favorites. I'm glad you participated, because I got to read so much greatness from you!

Your support these last several rounds has been very much appreciated, too. I got to read your stories as well, and there were so many that I really enjoyed! I'm glad you get to do this as more than a hobby. :)

You're both fantastic writers; it was a privilege to write alongside you.

[identity profile] halfshellvenus.livejournal.com 2013-09-10 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Right back at you, and good luck going forward!

Thanks, and yes, the feelin's mutual.

You rocked it this season, and I'm so glad I got a chance to work with you!

Thank you-- you too! I actually enjoyed our intersection, which was the first time that had ever happened, and it was so nice to have that process finally "click."

Good luck!

::HUG::

I enjoyed your work this season. Sorry to see you go this week.

[identity profile] halfshellvenus.livejournal.com 2013-09-10 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry to be leaving, too, but the quality of writing in our last several rounds has been SO high that I can't feel too bad about it.

Good luck! Your fiction this round has really paid off!

Thanks. :)

I am really quite sad to see you go (and you know I'm telling the truth - I haven't commented on much around these parts in a long while!), and still think your entry is stellar and heartbreaking. It is a fine piece of writing, and all of your entries have been fine pieces of writing. You have been a constant favorite, and a damn fine writer of an extremely high caliber.

Thank you. You've offered such wonderful support this season, and I'm sorry this story is the one that took me out because I know it hit a lot of areas that really resonated with you. It was so nice to know that you thought it was worth writing, and was an important story to tell. That meant a lot to me, since you've lived through something too much like it and know how hard that truly is.

*hugs*

Oh man, I'm so sorry to see you go. I love your stories, and it was awesome being able to work with you twice this round.

[identity profile] halfshellvenus.livejournal.com 2013-09-10 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Awesome for me too, and at least I didn't wind up going out as a result of our last Intersection, which was wonderful in all respects.

Good luck with the rest of the round!

I have really enjoyed your stories this season.

[identity profile] halfshellvenus.livejournal.com 2013-09-10 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
I've enjoyed yours, too. I'm so glad you came out for Exhibit B, and worked this in around your RL scheduling. :)
