Good morning.

Well, less of the "good".

I'm not sure what to say about the events in Paris and Lebanon that other people haven't said far better. But I did want to acknowledge that our hearts are with them right now...

as well as those in Japan with the earthquake that I literally found out about as I was writing this.

It's times like these when we need to come together, and meaningless distractions can be a really good thing to have,

I don't have any meaningless distractions for you - all I have is LJ Idol, the single most important thing to ever be created on the Planet Earth, or anywhere in the solar system!

Sign-ups are still happening: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/861191.html

(How's that for a transition??? :D)

There are still 30some spots available - so let's get out and drag some more folks in so that we can start this as soon as possible!  I know there are quite a few on the fence at the moment,  so knock them over the head and drag them in!

Good morning!

We are still holding at about the half-way point for getting going! http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/861191.html

*"Could* we move with fewer people? Maybe. But in running this in my head, around 100 people was where the teams seemed to work the best.  Otherwise, it's just a bit awkward.

So get recruiting!!! :)

We *do* have a couple of sponsored spots are still available, if someone needs them.

If you haven't already done so - Make sure that you get your 3 topics to me at clauderainsrm@gmail.com

How was your Veterans Day?  Any big weekend plans?

For those doing the Novel Month - how is it going?

For those waiting for a kicking... get ready!!

Good morning!

Sign-ups are continuing today: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/861191.html

We are just over the half-way point, and I know I've talked to a few people who still haven't come out yet! So make sure to get the word out that this is happening! LJ may not be a populated "as it used to be". But it's still as crazy! :)

Happy Veterans Day!

How many of you have the day off, and what are you doing with it?

If you don't - what do you wish you were doing right now instead of going in to work? ;)

If you haven't seen it, the Sign-Up Sheet is up!  http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/861191.html
So, if you want to take part in the LJ IDOL: Friends and Rivals mini-season, you should get over there and sign up!

Looking at my stat sheet, there are 30 spots filled right now. Which means that after a few hours of being up, there are 70 spots remaining!

(A few of those spots are unfilled +1s)

7 of those people, so far, have actually completed all three steps! Thanks to those people! The rest of you, get on it!! :)

So far everyone has remembered this - but for those who don't know, if you are playing under another name (or have more than one LJ account - please let me know! Even if you think I already know, make sure I know! :D)

***

I just went back to the "entry count" and added that last week of the special kid's season - which means we are at 19,988 entries.   Which means we are *12 entries away* from having generated 20,000 pieces of new content!   It will be interesting to see who gets to post the 20,000th entry during Week 1!!! :D

It's finally here! The sign up sheet for LJ IDOL: Friends and Rivals!

Before we get into it though, there's a few things you will need to do:

(1) Post a declaration in your LJ and link it back here as part of the Signing Up process (it's good practice for getting folks use to linking their entries)

(2) Send $5 via PayPal to clauderainsrm@gmail.com - make sure to include your user name.

(3) Either in the notes for that - or as a separate email, send me 3 topics you would like for me to consider using for this mini-season. I will use at least 1 of them!

The rough FAQ is still available if anyone has any questions that they need answered: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/860193.html

BTW - you don't need to make the decision on if you will be starting this as a team or an individual until 24 hours before the Week 1 deadline.

There are approximately 100 spots (some are already reserved for Patrons) so make sure you sign up early - Tell Your Friends and Warn Your Rivals! An LJ Idol mini-season is about to begin!

The sign-up sheet is still empty http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/852051.html but I've been hearing quite a bit of interest behind the scenes. So hopefully people will end up showing up!

Make sure to tell anyone you think could be interested. I know it's not as "exciting or flashy" as the regular Idol, and that there is definitely a perception that people don't do anything unless they directly benefit from it. Adults will be able to "Home Game", so there is definitely a chance to get your own work out there for people to see - but more important than that is encouraging the next generation of writers. That's something that everyone has a stake in!
