LJ Idol Presents:

If you want to write on the topics for the week:

Intersubjectivity, Shibusa, rapture of the deep, captcha the flag, the bystander effect, Overwatch

But are not currently a contestant - this is the place for you!

Just link your entries here!

This is also the place for constructive criticism of those pieces.

If you submit at least one entry *and* give constructive criticism on someone else's piece OR just give constructive criticism on *two* different pieces - you are eligible to send me a vote to give a contestant immunity this week!

With the amount of contestants dwindling, that's a lot of power in your hands! So I hope you take advantage of it by participating!

If you've already read the Topic post http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/811500.html, you know what to do here. :)

***

For those *not currently a contestant in the competition* who want to participate though, you can post anything you like. :) A previously written piece, or one based on the topic "Critical Hit"!

The deadline is the same as the topic Monday, Dec 8th at 8pm EST

Have fun!

Because of events, I'm not sure who actually noticed this last week. But with how close the poll has been lately, this could be something that is extremely useful in the coming weeks - so I will cut and paste what I said last week:

Yes, you read that correctly.

The Home Game and Killing Floor have merged - with a twist! :)

If you are NOT a current contestant, but want to write something and link it at Idol, this is the place to come. That's the Home Game element. It's a chance to still have your writing out there, as a part of this place. If you *are* a current contestant, but feel like writing something extra - this is also the place to come!

The Killing Floor is where people go to receive constructive advice on their pieces. So, if you post something here, people are expected to do more than just a "Good job", and instead actually give you something that you can use to make the entry even better.

Mixing them is a move, but I wanted to make a *big* move, so here it is:

IF YOU GIVE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM TO TWO OR MORE PIECES IN THE HG/KF EACH WEEK, YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE TO VOTE ON WHO WILL RECEIVE IMMUNITY IN THE COMPETITION.

That's right. It's not just submitting entries or giving feedback on entries - there's actually *influence over the game* on the line here. :)

***

So submit your Home Game entry here - for feedback! :)

If you've got writing you want to constructive criticism on - or you are someone who wants to GIVE some, this is the place!

Just post a link to your entries here!

I'm going to open it back up to everyone this week. BUT I will ask that if you HAVE gone before, to wait 24 hours and if there is still one of the 5 spots available, go ahead and take it.

If you haven't though - this is a great chance to come in and get some of that good ole constructive criticism that you have been craving!

If you are interested in having a piece of writing receive some constructive criticism from your peers - this is the place to post it!

The first 5 entries, from people who have not already had their turn - are eligible!

Have fun!

While we are waiting for the polls to close, I'm sure there are also some people finished with their reading and voting! Which means that it's the perfect time to get some attention over here! :)

If you have some of your writing that you want to hear constructive criticism on. just be one of the first 5 people to post a link in the comment thread!

(Note: If you have already had your work featured in a previous Killing Floor, you are not eligible)

It's time to get back at it!

If you have a piece, and would like to get some feedback, this is the place to do it!

A maximum of 5 contestants can post a link to their piece here. It should be something previously written (as opposed to this week's Idol entry) that they want to rework, it doesn't have to be Idol related.

After that, people can offer their constructive criticism. With the qualifier that it needs to be *constructive*.

If you submitted your entry to a previous Killing Floor, you are NOT eligible to do so again. (until I say otherwise)
