therealljidolLast night marked the start of Last Chance Idol, with the very first poll: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/786561.html so make sure to get out there - read, comment and vote your favorites to have the opportunity to get into the main competition!
It also marked the start of people emailing me saying that they were confused about when the deadline as and was there *any* shot of another opening to get into the competition?
Because "Last Chance" is kind of vague that way. ;)
My normal response would be "sorry", but (1) this is the last full season and (2) With that "unmentioned thing" hanging over me tomorrow, I want as much good karma as possible. Plus, I wasn't actually eliminating anyone this week from LCI.
So here is the deal: PEOPLE CAN SIGN UP UNTIL THE DEADLINE FOR WEEK 2'S ENTRY. Sign up, and submit your entry there, once the time comes If you do not, you are not in LCI and never will be. If you do, you can be a part of it. Until then, make sure to follow instructions over here: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/782944.html so that we know you are interested.
I think I'm being more than fair with this - and probably will be spark some of the "You're being TOO generous" cries of protest. But at the start of your average Idol season, I tend to be overly generous - to make up for when I'm not later in the season. :)
Don't worry, that balance won't be tipped in that direction for too much longer!

Speaking of "the main competition" - there is a deadline there as well. One that isn't going to be changing. http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/785896.html is the topic, and the Work Room where people are discussing it (and other matters) is http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/786119.html

Today is the last day before "D-Day" of that thing I'm talking about - the last day for things to resolve themselves on their own. So if you are the kind of person who sends out good thoughts/lights candles/sacrifices goats/plots the death of my enemies/whatever and you have an extra wish to throw on that particular fire, I'd appreciate you doing so.

Btw - Idol now has an Ello and diaspora* account, in addition to our Facebook and Twitter. So if you are on those want to follow us, come find us! :)

Date: 2014-10-01 01:49 pm (UTC)This is the second day of pouring rain here :(
I've got more but it's a pain to post from my phone.

Date: 2014-10-01 01:49 pm (UTC)In other news, I have an idea, but I don't know if I have the time to execute it between now and the deadline. Working 3rds and subsisting on something like 4 hours of sleep does not produce much writing, from me. I'm hoping that between my nap later today and when the child gets dropped off at the ex's, I can somehow knock out an entry in like an hour. I hope.
Otherwise I'll be struggling to get it done at all, on Thursday. I think.

Date: 2014-10-01 02:36 pm (UTC)I will. :) I at least have an idea -- which is kind of ironic, considering my personal stance on serials. However, Idol hasn't seen *this* world yet, this season, so... (And depending on which version of this idea my character picks, it might all be backstory, anyway -- which requires less "stand alone???" juggling).

Date: 2014-10-01 02:59 pm (UTC)I was all at peace with the idea that my deadline for the novel would clash with LCI's first deadline and I just knew I couldn't manage both. And now this?
You've thrown me into confusion and disarray! Ack!
Sigh. Oh well. All the best for tomorrow, anyway. Meanwhile, I'll go to bed and dream about deadlines...
