Vote - Week 2

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

A few words from clauderainsrm:

Some nights are easy.
Some nights are tonight. : )

"Some nights are a crush and some nights, it's blood lust"

So I’ll give you the basics:

The bottom vote-getters from each tribe are going home this week (4 total)

The poll closes Thursday, March 27 at 10 pm EDT

Good luck to everyone!

Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Some nights I call it a draw
*dances off*

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

I love that song. So much fun! ;)

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

This poll went up so much later than I thought it would (well over two hours), I was sure Gary was cooking up something truly nefarious to inflict upon us!

[anyonesghost.livejournal.com]

Some nights, Gary doesnt say "the bottom four" are going home ...

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

If my spreadsheet is correct, 33 people have already used up 2 out of their 3 byes in the first 2 weeks... phew!

Lots of byes in tribe 3 this week... lord a' mercy. Good luck everyone!

[kecharasmoon.livejournal.com]

There was something like 38 that never even posted that they were taking a bye according to mine as well.

See, I knew we'd be friends. SPREADSHEET GODDESSES UNITE!

Oh wait, that's not a thing? Dammit.

[blergeatkitty.livejournal.com]

I have to thank you (and everyone else who mentioned it) profusely for suggesting the spreadsheet. It's making this whole thing doable.

Point of clarification

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

Since it wasn't stated.

Will it be the person with the fewest votes from each poll?

Re: Point of clarification

[kecharasmoon.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, good point.

Re: Point of clarification

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Oooh... good question!

[sdaisyk.livejournal.com]

I just realized I changed tribes this time...I'm assuming then that other people moved up one or two in the first two tribes as well? Does this mean that the last tribe is getting smaller each week?

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

There were minor modifications to the tribes. Most people stayed where they were.

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

Hey Gary - stupid question - where did steempunked come from? That username wasn't in the Week 1 poll, I just double checked. Username change?

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

She signed up, but was left out of the Week 1 poll. Mark her as taking a bye in Week 1.

[suesniffsglue.livejournal.com]

I loved this prompt, and there was some very excellent work to read this week. Kudos to all!

[eternal-ot.livejournal.com]

Yes!! I am impressed by the work everyone did!! Truly amazing entries this time!

[waltzmatildah.livejournal.com]

I managed to read all the entries pretty much as they were posted this round and am fully up to date. I've just cast my votes and am now preparing to remove my eye make-up prior to watching (attempting to watch...?!) the Teen Wolf finale in order to prevent a repeat of last week's debacle.

We'll see how that goes...

[halfshellvenus.livejournal.com]

How do you DO that?

Or do you read before your entry is written? Because I never do, and that cuts out some potential reading time.

But darn-- the quantity of entries we have right now gives me eyebleed. :D

Hey u just got a bonus reward!..great going!!..:)

[fringebenefits.livejournal.com]

Does a person have to have a LJ account to vote?

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

They do not.

Anyone can vote with a LJ, Facebook, Twitter, Google + or other Open ID account. Just make sure that they are only using one of those. (as opposed to trying to stack the deck)

[annaonthemoon.livejournal.com]

I hate that I needed a Bye this week, but I'm so stressed about my pending surgery on Saturday! :( I'm likely to use another Bye next week too :( I WANT TO WRITE damnit! LOL

[labelleizzy.livejournal.com]

Surgery is enough stress in itself. I completely sympathize with the wanting to write, but honey, just take care of yourself. Eat well, drink lots of water, take your vitamins, move around a bit.

Says the woman with an ACL replacement, basal cell excision and gum graft in the last three years. *exhale*

So yeah, my sympathy, you haz it.

[iwriteflash.livejournal.com]

How do we see the number of votes our entry is on?

Sorry, newbie issues!

[suesniffsglue.livejournal.com]

I don't know if there is any other way to do it, but I can never see mine until after I've voted in the poll I'm in!

[lawchicky.livejournal.com]

OK- I read and voted. I didn't get to comment on the last tribe (my apologies!) because I was reading from my cell phone, but at least I made it through all of the entries. Last week I only got to tribes 3 and 4.

[surpanakhalives.livejournal.com]

I had NO time to read all of yesterday. And I finally managed to read and vote -- but not comment... How do you guys manage???

[jem0000000.livejournal.com]

I mostly didn't comment on this week, either -- I was afraid I might not finish if I did.

[xshibumix.livejournal.com]

Just wanna say thanks to everyone who has voted for me! I know the voting isn't over yet but it seems this noob has a chance of sticking around this week and I really appreciate the support!

[stacyrocks.livejournal.com]

I'm on the chopping block for tribe four. Things are close! If I make it to next week, what could I do better? I suppose asking for input beforehand posting the final product would be a good idea, eh?

[mothermelete.livejournal.com]

Do you have any beta readers or someone you can send your piece to before posting? I usually spend some time over the weekends emailing it around to those willing to look over my stuff and modify it quite a bit before submitting.

Also important in reading and re-reading your work for spelling/grammatical errors. It's okay to edit something after it goes up, though I wouldn't drastically change it. But sometimes I'll be reading my post and notice that I used a wrong word or something that ordinary spell check doesn't pick up.

I'm getting 'access denied' for selcazare's link.

[esteletheque.livejournal.com]

I'm getting a 404 from selcazare's entry. Any ideas?

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

If you click on selcazare's name, there is a notice that says they will be competing in Idol under their main account.

I don't know for a fact, but my working theory is that they made everything in this account private without thinking about just how many people wait until the last day to finish reading and voting.

You can't use another account for competing if people can't read your entry. :(
