A few words from clauderainsrm:

Week two and we are already shaking things out in the competition. Real life is showing up on people’s doorsteps and not even bothering to knock.

A ton of byes were used this week. How will that impact the voting this week? How will that impact their staying in the game with only one bye left. What of the people who have used up their byes?

But that’s speculation for later. Right now we have one task in front of us. Voting for our favorite entries from this week – and wow there were a lot of them.

Words that made us cry. Some that made us laugh. All of them took us out of ourselves for just a moment. Which ones deserve your votes? Well that’s for you to decide.


Some of you will notice that 20 people were moved from their original tribes. This was completely performance based. No one was moved more than one step up, and no one was moved who did not receive at least mid-range vote consistent with the numbers received in their new tribe. Looking to raise the bar here and keep things competitive.


The power is in your hands, to decide who’s dream is about to end right here and now, and who is moving forward one more step toward becoming the next LJ Idol.

Let’s find out what is going to shake out in the vote.

You can vote for as many, or few, people who want in each tribe. Remember, if you want to keep your favorites in this game, you have to make sure vote for them!! The contestant with the lowest amount of votes in each tribe will be eliminated, for a total of three going home this week.

Voting starts now and ends on Monday Nov 19th at 1:00 pm EST. Good luck to everyone.

Tech Support Note: fandangledsky = cheapdestiny. I forgot to change it. My bad.

How many people didn't post and were lost?

[justthere.livejournal.com]

Good luck to everyone! Some really great writing this week.

[kithan.livejournal.com]

There'll be a separate post by clauderainsrm letting you know.

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

I have to applaud everyone who posted on this one.

It was a hard topic and the entries were amazing.

[sircaliban.livejournal.com]

I agree and good luck to you too :)

[chazari.livejournal.com]

I wasn't nervous last week. This week I am! It has to be the topic adding that layer of fear or maybe just not being sick. Either way, *gulp*, bring it on!

[hopefulnebula]

I know it's bad form to vote for oneself, but is it explicitly against the rules? I mean, I'm not going to (like I said, bad form) but I'm just curious.

[tryslora]

I agree! This was a truly amazing week (and it's only week 2 -- imagine what week 22 will be like!) and I am so glad I managed to finish reading all of them and get votes in already.

I am in a constant state of wow this season.

[boundfate.livejournal.com]

Awesome. Thank you! *Hands you cookies*

[kithan.livejournal.com]

It is not against the rules at all.

I don't think it's bad form, either, but that is personal opinion. :)

[tryslora]

As far as I know, neither against the rules nor bad form.

[tryslora]

Let's see... we could set the page to autorefresh somehow and display it on the big screen and watch the votes tick by all afternoon...

Er. That's a bit toooo nervous and obsessive of me, isn't it?

[hopefulnebula]

Well if that's the case on both counts, I guess I get to ticky my own box. yay ticky!

[kithan.livejournal.com]

*grabs cookies and runs before Gary gets here*

[rosepurr.livejournal.com]

I feel the same way!

[chazari.livejournal.com]

I think if you like what you wrote then you should vote for yourself! Why not?

[chazari.livejournal.com]

I have it open as a tab on Firefox and go every couple minutes and refresh. I may be bringing a laptop to knitting....

[dizzydog.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's what, 20% taking a bye this week? I figured next week would be the big one with Thanksgiving futzing with things.

Good luck everyone! Think it's going to be a hard week of choices picking who to vote for.

[tryslora]

You think I'm joking about the projector. If we move knitting to the basement, I've already GOT a computer (with intarwebs) hooked up to the projector. *grins*

Just imagine the look on Kev's face when I say, "Sorry, dear, we're stealing your television so we can obsess over the voting..."

[chazari.livejournal.com]

He'd understand...

[kindapoetry.livejournal.com]

my $0.02: if you don't have faith that your own post deserves votes, then who else should?

[chazari.livejournal.com]

oh, excellent point!

[kindapoetry.livejournal.com]

i don't know about anyone else, but i, for one, am actually quite terrified about this week's polls. *gnaws on fingernails*

(doesn't help being a little fish moved into the big fishie pond either.)

[newsong.livejournal.com]

You know, this week I've decided I'm not interested in voting for most of the funny ones, but it's not because they were funny.

I feel like anyone who vote about something they weren't terrified of was just avoiding the topic, and after the courage so many people here showed in revealing themselves, I just can't justify avoiding that.

Anyone else agree? I voted for a couple of the really funny ones, but for the most part if you avoided the subject or claimed not to be afraid of anything, I didn't vote for them.

I'm about half-way through entry reading.

[rm.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's bad form either. Voting for yourself, not reading anyone else and not voting for anyone else -- that would be bad form.
