Green Room - Week 23 - Day 1

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

If you have been hanging around, wondering when your shot to get back into the mix in Season 9 would be - it's TODAY. That's the deadline to sign up http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/782944.html and turn in your first entry: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/783873.html

So you had better go do it!

We had results last night: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/785535.html
a new topic: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/785896.html
and a Work Room to go with it: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/786119.html

Who are you the most excited to see jumping into Last Chance Idol - and who do you hope will make the plunge? (this would be a good time to tag them! :D)

Alas, porn_this_way has said she doesn't have the time for it.

I wonder if fourzoas might consider...

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

WOOT, you're FIRST!!!!!!!

Ditto on both and I'll add that there are a few others I'd love to see play again but they probably won't :/

[halfshellvenus.livejournal.com]

Darn, I mentioned porn_this_way earlier, but I completely forgot to ping fourzoas!

*signal amplification*

[kehlen-crow.livejournal.com]

I have already done so last night, and one of the people I mentioned even came back, and a couple more said they were considering it.

So many good old contestants do not though.

[medleymisty.livejournal.com]

crisp_sobriety is an awesome noob! :)

[theun4givables.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am enjoying their presence already. :)

[medleymisty.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I knew you had good taste. ;)

[theun4givables.livejournal.com]

:D

I try.

[crisp-sobriety.livejournal.com]

*blushes* *sips drink*

[medleymisty.livejournal.com]

Is true! :) I do like a person who knows their way around sentence structure and rhythm and who likes dark imagery.

[ecosopher.livejournal.com]

Well, I'd do it, Gary, but you've only got yourself to blame. If it weren't for Idol, I'd never have had the confidence to begin this novel. And then I wouldn't be sitting here editing it to send off on Friday for consideration for a fiction prize.

So you know. It's pretty much your own fault.

:P

Didn't you have a birthday btw? Happy Birthday!

[bleodswean.livejournal.com]

For those who keep track - how many writers are there now?

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

My completely unofficial count is 59. ::waits for confirmation::

[theun4givables.livejournal.com]

I have 58. SOMEONE ELSE WITH A SPREADSHEET, WE NEED YOU.

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

I probably forgot to eliminate somebody. I'm sentimental like that. :)

and by sentimental, I mean unorganized this season for some reason

[theun4givables.livejournal.com]

lol, I'm unorganized this season because the level of tired I'm at 80% of the time makes for disorganization. :)

[bleodswean.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

theun4givables was right. I found my error. It's 58.

[theun4givables.livejournal.com]

Sweeeet, I was worried I eliminated someone without meaning to, hah. (I've done it before.)

[theun4givables.livejournal.com]

58 total the main competition; there are (currently) 43 in Last Chance that have declared their intent to play. One of those 43, though, is my mother (dmousey) so she's technically double. I told her it was best if she did not try to play in both, since she's still in the main game. :)

Those blasted parentheses and their insisting they be closed.. harumph.

[bleodswean.livejournal.com]

Thanks. That's interesting - can you play both games at the same time?

[theun4givables.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. :)

You can under an alt, but playing LCI when you're also in the main game as the same username seems silly, to me. I mean, you can homegame entries for LCI and stay in the main game. Or you can drop from the main game and try to get back in via LCI, or you can just be in both for s's and g's.

But for me, that'd be too much work. When I was unemployed, I probably would have done it. :)

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

It doesn't have to be under an alt.

You just risk greater confusion if it's not.

It's twice the work, as a fail safe. But you also divide the attention of your audience and risk going out in both.

[theun4givables.livejournal.com]

Yeah, which is why I told my mom I wouldn't really do both, if I were her. :)

[dmousey.livejournal.com]

I am unemployed remember! Plus I do have an alt... hmmmm interesting...

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

You can.

[gratefuladdict.livejournal.com]

I'm still holding out for the rest of my dream team...

blueashke
darkprism
drjeff
intrepia
joeymichaels
notbatman
onda_bianca
rattsu - WOOHOO, rattsu is back!!
rejeneration
sharya
superhappytime

But most of them ignored my summons last time. *sigh*

[xo-kizzy-xo.livejournal.com]

:glances at your list, nodding in agreement:

A few of them haven't played in ages. It'd be nice if they returned for one last hurrah, but if they're ignoring their summonses...

:sigh:

[gratefuladdict.livejournal.com]

rejeneration did poke her head in last time I invoked her name, but went AWOL as soon as I reiterated my request!

[comedychick.livejournal.com]

I would love to see joeymichaels back, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't have the time to dedicate to it these days.

[gratefuladdict.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've been bugging him and he's been nicely sidestepping the issue. :)

[halfshellvenus.livejournal.com]

I forgot two people I really, really wanted to add-- AND neglected to mention them yesterday, when they still had time to write an entry:

jacq22 and myrna_bird (whom I could not persuade to come back earlier this season).

However, I have confidence that they could join and whip something out!

[gratefuladdict.livejournal.com]

Awww myrna_bird! Come back, myrna_bird!!

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Huh. I haven't talked to Mom in a few weeks... and not even sure if she is technically following Idol, but given there's an extended signup period of LCI I will make sure she hears she's wanted.

[gratefuladdict.livejournal.com]

She is your mom?? I had no idea!!!

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Yup! I'm quite proud of her too!

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

I think, unfortunately, she is too busy with real life :(

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

I've checked with myrna_bird... she is, unfortunately too busy with real life now...

[halfshellvenus.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Well, at least she knows we miss her. :)

[bleodswean.livejournal.com]

octavian_trex??????? Funny, funny, funny.

I hope swirlsofblue jumps back into the Fray.

[dmousey.livejournal.com]

If you get dropped from the main... will there be a chance to get back in later via LCI? (if I drop LCI now?)

[theun4givables.livejournal.com]

Nope. If you get voted out of the main after the first deadline of LCI, there's no more being able to join LCI. Sign ups for it end tonight. :)

[dmousey.livejournal.com]

WHAT the hell, why not... :)

[rattsu.livejournal.com]

I had NO idea we were supposed to turn in an entry as well! I thought the signup ended tonight, and just logged in to see which ones signed up, and found that there was en entry I had been supposed to write, and holy crap, two and a half hours until deadline and... yeeeah...

Luckily I was home sick from work (nightshift), otherwise i would have logged in tomorrow morning to see what the subject was, only to realize I had already missed the deadline... as it was it was a rushjob, but...

Out of options ;).
