The Countdown - 10

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Do you hear that?

It's the sound of there being only 10 more days until the Sign Up Sheet goes up for SEASON 9 OF LJ IDOL!!!

Who will be there? Who will sound the alarms throughout the internet???

***

Our friends over at Solarwyrm Press are sounding some alarms as well. They are crowdfunding their newest projects: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/solarwyrm-s-upcoming-anthologies so, if you are so inclined, you should definitely check them out. Some Idolers involved in them (and the publishers themselves are Idolers!) so, if you haven't already, you should see what they have going on.

They also have a secret project in the works, where they are looking for submissions: http://solarwyrm.com/submission-guidelines/

Since I'm promoting things, if you are so inclined and feeling like supporting something, there's always Idol! http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/708268.html

TEN DAYS!!! That's just two hands worth of days!! I can stop counting on my toes now, yay! :)

I am writing a chapter of one of my books and I realized that I created a character that will end up being everyone's favorite, even if that's totally not what I intended when I initially created him.

It makes me kinda happy that people get all excited for this particular character. :3

Ten days. That doesn't even seem real. I have ten days left to live my fullest life possible before it all gets sucked into Livejournal.

Better make the most of it! Get outside and suck in all the sunlight you can, because there will be a lot of late-night write-a-thons and F5 hits happening before too long!!

I don't know if I'm excited or terrified.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

I don't know about you, but for me the answer is YES. ;)

Just out of curiosity, how is it that we had such a brouhaha over "lame-gate," but nobody has tsk tsked about the fake descriptions of the video and previously some pic I don't remember?

Accessibility is kind of a big deal to be f'ing around about, at least IMO.

Because the people who would aren't here yet - and those who are here are in on the joke.

Also, that *is* a description of a video. My Mom posted it on facebook yesterday. :)

I guess I'm not "in" on the joke.

If people rely on image descriptions to know what's going on, how is it funny to include an image description of something that isn't there, while not including a description of what IS there?

Also, you're encouraging everyone to begin sending new people here, so you can't be entirely sure people are "in" on the joke.

Fair enough.

... I don't KNOOOOWWWWWWWWW. I'm scared! Uh, I'm tired. I mean, I'm old. Or, uh, I'm a fiendish pervert! That is to say, uh, I'm not sure!

You should consult your local shrink, I'm sure that he would say that you need to deal with your fears of the unknown, and meet what you fear face to face.

Then he would probably send you the bill and give you the same advice! :}

Last time I wrote an idol entry I was sitting in the hotel room the night of my wedding writing what I knew would be my last contest entry because I had more important things to do. Two years later I have a 5 month old baby, work 3 jobs, and am taking an online course in real estate. I have no idea why or how I will have time for this but I'm determined to give it a try.
