It's that time again. Saying goodbye is never fun or easy, But fortunately there are still 4 options on the Wheel for people to come back into the game. So "goodbye" might not be what it usually is!

So maybe it's a "so long and hope to see you soon!"  If nothing else, I hope you will be Home Gaming to 

[personal profile] marjorica 

and legal... wait, what's this

[personal profile] legalpad819 pulls out a medallion from her pocket.  "I'd like to play this!"  

*takes it and examines it*  I can confirm this IS an immunity idol!  She is safe from elimination!  Unlike most immunity idols though, no one else will be taking her place. 

Technically speaking, since I said  whoever receives the "
FEWEST number of votes, without being eliminated will receive the right to pick something out of Pandora's box!!! " 

That means legalpad819 will get to pick something from Pandora's box! I
 will let you know what has been chosen.

I know a don't post a lot lately. It's not that I don't have a lot of say. It's just that it's a lot of the same. I'm really grateful though that people seem to be enjoying/tolerating this Wheel concept. :D

The new poll is happening right now - https://therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1205156.html

Definitely go check it out if you haven't. The one thing that hasn't changed is that there is a lot of really good writing happening here.

A few words from [personal profile] clauderainsrm:


The Killer(s) may have tried to cut my power, but the forces of Good and Light banded together with their friends at the power company and restored it fairly quickly!

Unfortunately, they apparently demanded a sacrifice, and that is why [personal profile] eeyore_grrl is leaving us. (or she missed a second deadline after returning to the game with one bye. It was one of those two things!!)

For the rest of us though, the game moves forward. The person with the fewest votes who does NOT get eliminated this round has the opportunity to open Pandora’s Box and see what is inside of it, to unleash into the game!!

There will be *spins the wheel* 2 contestants leaving us this week!

So it’s more important than ever to get the word out. Read, comment and vote for your favorites! And then tell your friends about all the cool stuff you are reading here!!

The poll will close Thursday October 16th at 8pm ET.

Good luck to everyone!

 We have once again gathered here for two sacred duties, to undermine the Killer(s) by dispensing the antidote and ending their reign of terror by exposing them! 

*waits for the last few people to wander in from out of the hallways*  Nice of you to make it.  

Now we can begin. 

I'll start with handing out the antidote.  Last week was the first time the group as a whole was given the responsibility of who should receive it, and in true beginners luck fashion, you were able to save a life!  Let's see if you are that lucky this time! 

The majority vote for who should receive the antidote was extremely close. It came down to a single vote.  

Receiving the antidote this week is [personal profile] inkstainedfingertips  

*hands the vial over and watches as they drink it*  It's very refreshing and has a nice lemon and mint aftertaste.  But other than that, nothing.  

With the Accusation though it wasn't even close. The majority mostly piled on one person, with a few stray votes here and there. 

The community apparently feels really strongly about this.  Let's see if you are right, or if once again you will accuse an innocent. 

The assembled contestants hereby accuse[personal profile] flipflop_diva  of being a KIller!

She deeply sighs, this having been one of many, many times that she's been accused... and then screams as the black smoke bursts from her mouth. She grabs her immunity amulet, that starts to glow, protecting her from the evil as it is displaced back into the walls of the castle. She falls to the ground, exhausted, relieved and a Killer no more.

P
eople were asking what I did on my vacation and where I went. 

To explain that, I need to take you back to 2002. My friend Gabe and I went to see a concert. MY favorite band at the time (Superdrag) was opening up for his favorite band (Guided by Voices)  So - perfect night right?  The kind of night you talk with your friend about forever. 

Well, it DID end up being that kind of night, but not for the predicted version.  What actually happened is that Superdrag got on stage and absolutely blew the doors off. They were just the purest form of rock-n-roll, and even my friend agreed that Guided by Voice got straight up embarrassed. 

Superdrag never came back to play in my area again. They broke up a few years after that, and got back together in 2017 or so, but didn''t tour they just put out an album. That reunion fell part within a year or so.  Over the years they became THE standard for the two of us of shows, ranked from RanaRock (OMG they are bad) to Superdrag. 

Fast forward to 2024, Superdrag announces they are doing a show in Knoxville (their hometown) and one in Chicago. I get really excited. But I'm also really broke, so I can't do either of those shows.  But then they announce they are working on a new album - so maybe they will tour again, and come back!! 

There was definitely some drama around that album's release, and it ended up being released as a solo album from the lead singer (backed with other musicians) , :(  Which made a lot of people assume that Chicago was the last huzzah. 

About a year and a half ago I had a show in NYC that I was SUPPOSED to go to with Cynthia. We had everything bought and paid for... but had to cancel because I lost my job.  Good thing we did too, because then unemployment took forever!!   Our plane tickets were the one thing we couldn't get a refund on - we got a credit. One that was expiring. 

Just before it expired, Superdrag announced "Destination: Super drag" two sets of shows in 2 cities. Which is apparently what a lot of bands are doing these days to cut down on the cost of touring, just having destination events.  Los Angeles was in June but Cynthia said that we should use our plane tickets for a NYC trip for the second set of dates, and so we booked it!! 

Then, of course, months later, she let me know she wanted a divorce. I was worried this trip wasn't going to happen, but she kept ensuring me that it was.  And it did.  And it lived up to every single memory I had of the band, even 20 years later. 

I''ll probably comment below about other things we saw in NYC. (Including Book of Mormon) But THAT's how I spend my extended weekend. Living out a dream 20+ in the making!!  How about YOU? What did YOU do on my vacation?

TWIST!

*spins the Wheel again* 

Oh. Oh my.  

We have Pandora's Box.   That hasn't been seen in Idol for quite some time!  (Season 9/2014) 

Inside it is all sorts of things, but you won't know what you can pick until it's opened. 

Whoever has the

*spins wheel to determine most/fewest* 

FEWEST number of votes, without being eliminated will receive the right to pick something out of Pandora's box!!!

 We are in that weird "between the top 10 and 20" spot in the mini season where things seem to stretch out forever and there are still various scenarios on how things could play out.  Given how unpredictable things have been, in the game and in life, there is no telling what the result is going to be.  I can look at say I have a good idea... but then next week could prove me completely wrong! 

Like this week, if you told me that two favorites would be leaving I'd nod and say "Well, yeah... of course..." 

If you had told me that one of them was going to sacrifice IN HER ENTRY I would have been shocked... or that the other would send me a message letting me know that regardless of the result of the poll, that her plan was to also sacrifice - to save spots for other people to move one step ahead.... yeah, I think I would have said you were joking. 

But that's what happened. 

This week we lose two amazing writers and top-notch human beings... and serious contenders to have taken the crown in any season they participate in. Which means the possible outcomes have opened up a little bit in an unexpected way. Or maybe narrowed to certain outcomes.  (depending on how cynical I'm feeling at the moment.  :D)   

Seriously though, these two are going to be missed and considering how tight their Survivor "alliance" was, it certainly isn't a surprise that once again they are making the same moves!! 

Goodbye to the great [personal profile] bleodswean  and [personal profile] murielle plan on kicking it for it's transgressions!!  Thank you so much for fighting through it though and being able to stay involved as long as you did! I hope that you are able to home game, or at very least will stick around to cheer on your favorites!

Yes, it really has been that long since I've posted an actual Green Room.

How have you been?

I've been OK. Still kind of shell-shocked and in a "blah"... but I do have FEST (the 3 day punk show/with a pre-show we're going to this year) coming up this week so I'm hoping that is enough to break me out of it.

Maybe eliminating some damn hippies will help too. We've got that coming up TONIGHT  therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1169596.html

A few words from [personal profile] clauderainsrm:


It was going to be one thing, but ended up being another. That’s how life works sometimes.

In this case, when I posted that I wouldn’t be home to post the poll last night it was because my Mom needed help. The roof turbine had come off her house, and was damaged during Milton and she was afraid the next time it stormed that it was an open path for the rain to get into her attic. So she needed it to be put back up.

I had no idea how I was going to do it, but I agreed to come over and get on the roof. If you know me, you know what a horrible idea that was! I should never be on a roof, ever. That’s an invite for a trip to the hospital. But that’s not what happened… what happened was that I called an old friend of mine who *does* have experience in such things, and asked him for some tips on what I might need to do… and he volunteered to go over and do it after work instead! (they live in the same city, unlike me who would have had to get over and back on the bus)

He ended up doing it fairly easily. Note: they didn’t have the tools he needed, so he brought them himself. Which means I wouldn’t have had the tools that were needed either! So I’m really glad I made that call.

So I had already postponed the poll and was planning on going home instead. Which is when I got the text message from Celena (my step daughter for those playing the Home Game of my life) saying that her Dad had to work and couldn’t go to the hockey game. So he gave her his tickets, and she wanted to know if I wanted to go with her. The answer to “Do I want to spend time with Celena” is ALWAYS yes, regardless of what it is. So since I was unexpectedly free for the evening, that’s what I said!! (Honestly, I probably would have been tempted to postpone the poll for that on its own. :D)

It was a great game and a win for everyone involved. But especially me. Oh, and the Lightning as well. But mostly me.

So I set out to do one thing, and ended up doing something very different.

Which is, I’m sure, what happened when the contestants wrote their entries this week. Hey, look! A transition!! See how subtle it is!!!

They were headed in one direction and the work grabbed them and they ended up somewhere new and unexpected… and once again it worked out for everyone. But mostly me. And you, the people who are lucky enough to read their work!!

So click the links. Read the work. Comment on it. Then come back and vote for your favorites!! Just as important though - spread the word! We only have 14 contestants left right now, and by the time we close, we will have 12. Things are getting tighter and tighter, and if you want to see your favorites advance, your word of mouth is the only way that is going to happen.

Like I said, we are losing 2 contestants again this week. The poll closes Tuesday, October 22nd at 8pm ET. Good luck to everyone!

 I owe you an update, and a Green Room. So let's combine them. :) 

Business first - there were eliminations: https://therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1168566.html  and a new prompt https://therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1168718.html

There are now 14 contestants left standing, within arm's reach of the Top 10.  So start looking around the room because 4 of you aren't going to fall short of that goal! So you had better be knocking our socks off every week!!! Not sure what no longer having socks has to do with you surviving longer. But apparently it must be related. 

Nor am I sure where these socks end up going.  When you knock them off do they just fly randomly through the air? Are they just knocked to the side? What if you are wearing shoes? If someone is barefoot is it because someone has already knocked their socks off???

***

Anyway - Milton update. I'm sure everyone has seen the news of the hurricane's devastation throughout Florida. 

It ended up making landfall south of us, which put us on the northern eye wall. Normally that's a good place to be, but of course Milton had to be different and that was where the worst winds were. 

We lost power for 3 days but the only damage to our property was the fence was destroyed. (The neighbor managed to prop it up so his dog could still go in his backyard,. But the first time they dog jumps on the fence or a strong wind and it's coming down again...) We found our mailbox in another neighbor's yard... only located one screw. So those are two things that need to be replaced. 

The large trees in the front and the back of the house got a severe trimming of branches, including several that were lodged near the boarded windows. If we hadn't put the plywood up, we would have had house guests. 

Our street had some flooding, on the other side... including coming into some of their homes. Fortunately, for us, our side of the street is on a tiny incline. But enough to keep us dry. (for now it's not going to be too much longer before we will be in the flood zone as well) 

There are more houses on our block with a tree on them (or a shed or fence) than there are not.  One of our neighbors actually has a tree poking into her house. 

Everyone currently has power - except the guy down at the end of the street, the original owner opted to be on a well system instead of the city water and he is on a different grid. So no power and no water for him.  (He's been filling 5 gallon jugs from our outside spigot) 

Neighbors came together to help with clean up and there are work crews from all over the country who have shown help to assist with the recovery (the crew who came by to pick up the debris on Sunday was from New Orleans) .

It could have been much, MUCH worse. But I won't lie, there were definitely moments when it was absolutely terrifying. 

We made it through though and are trying to get back to normal. And of course my job is a central part of the region's recovery. So at least I'm *involved* on some level. The federal and state government are finally working together - which they weren't after Helene (our Governor wouldn't speak to Biden) So that's a plus! It's nice when public servants actually do their jobs.  :)

 This wasn't the original prompt for this week. It wasn't even on this mini season's list. But it was on my "ideas" list - which is good enough. 

I'm picking it for the obvious reason. But you can do with it whatever you need to do with it.  :)

The prompt for this week is 

From the Wreckage 

The deadline to link your entry to this post is Thursday, October 17th at 7pm ET.

I saw the comments in the thread about how small the group is getting. It's definitely true.

I can confirm that, yes, your memories are correct. There were quite a few full seasons with more than 200 people and a few that topped 300. That was the direction Idol was going before Livejournal started imploding and we rode that all the way down to the bottom of the hill.


The only times we've been under 100 have been pre-Season 4 and for the mini seasons (and even some of those have been over)

So yes, looking at the numbering of people left in this mini season and weighing how this will go down with the 3 strikes twist in play is definitely enough to make anyone stop for a moment and realize how this really IS a small group, and just how real it could be for any one of you to make it to the end.

With that said, this is a results post, so I need to post those.
The two writers who are adding a strike are
erulissedances and unfortunately someone for whom this is the final strike - hangedkay, who has been eliminated.
It's not a surprise, and I hope you are recovering from COVID - and that we will soon be enjoying more of your work. 

What WAS a surprise was how close this week ended up being. It came down to 1 vote that had the potential to take out a lot more writers this week.  Which is a reminder that it could happen at any point....

A few words from [personal profile] clauderainsrm:

Everywhere around the world, they coming to read the entries on the prompt “America”...

It doesn’t have the same impact as the Neil Diamond version, but it does get to the point. That was the prompt and you delivered! Not that I’m surprised, because there’s always some really great work here, week after week. But it’s still always nice to see.

Hopefully the rest of the line comes true as well - that people will be coming to read it! Make sure to let them know it’s there - and all of your other favorites as well, so that they can find their new favorites as well!

The two with the fewest votes will be receiving a strike. That list of writers who do not have a single one is growing shorter every week.

So make sure to read, comment and vote to keep your favorites in the hunt!

The poll closes Thursday, July 14th at 8pm ET.

Good luck to everyone!

 Just a reminder that the deadline to this week's prompt is tonight https://therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1121351.html


I know it's easier when you get constant reminders about the deadline in regular Green Rooms. I wish I was in a place where I could do that. On hte other hand, it's also good to keep these things on your internal radar. I'm not looking over your shoulder with writing outside of Idol either, reminding you to do it.  But maybe I can be that voice in your head now and then to remind you to sit down and write. 

***
I didn't work much yesterday, which was a change. On the other hand, I did spend the day at the Celebration of Life for my old boss. It was nice seeing some faces I hadn'r seen in years. Of the people still working for the new company who knew her, only two of us showed up. 

Her daughter was barely able to read the prepared statement she had written out... and couldn't even get to the podium, she read it from her chair as she was breaking down. I can't imagine what she must be going through at the moment, and how complex the emptions. It's bad enough to lose a parent... losing both of them? When your father killed your mother??? That's going to mess her up for life. 

***
Cynthia wasn't feeling well last weekend and took a COVID test, it came back negative. It got worse - she took another one and it came back positive. Fortunately she's fullly vaccinated - I can't imagine how much worse it would be if she wasn't... she's been out for the count this entire week. Her sense of smell and most of her taste has been gone for a couple days. I've been living in the guest room (which is where my office area is.) and we both mask up when I have to pass through common areas when she's around... it's been tough. 

Our company policy is that if *I* tested positive, I could keep working from home for 5 days. Otherwise I have to come in.... and I haven't tested positive and I have absolutely no symptoms. So I've gone in... and of course get further and further behind on work. Which is what I told them was going to happen. 

***
I have been watching some TV though - so that's been a nice treat. I caught up on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and just started The Bear. Both are excellent. 

What have YOU been up to? Watching anything good? Reading anything good? DOING anything good?

I keep a list of potential topics/prompts. When something comes to mind, I write it down in one or two files. (one on my system and the other in my phone, it all depends on where I'm at when it hits me)

Before a season/mini season/special event starts, I'll go over those potential prompts and decide which ones I'm going to use. In the old days, I would actually map out "this is Week 5... Week 22..." etc. Which did lead to some unfortune concoindences where something that hit one way 6 months before, hit a different way when it was scheduled to be unleashed on the unsuspecting writers.

As the years have progressed, I've given myself some wiggle room and made it more "this is around where I want this" but have allowed myself the freedom of bringing in something that felt better at the moment or bumping something that felt like it wasn't the right time for it. 

I bring this up because there are some prompts on my list that keep getting bumped season after season. Because it's never the right time. 

This mini season I pulled one of the oldest prompts I have left and put it on the schedule for this week... I first put it on the list in 2014. I know it's going to hit a bit differently now than it did then... but it's still very appropriate for the week, and for the international group of writers that are assembled here. 

What is it? 

America 

The deadline to link your entries back to this post is Sunday, July 10th at 7pm ET.

Good evening.

The head-to-head battle to the literary death matches have taken place and the smoke has cleared. All that remains is naming who is joining the Jury, and who is going forth to take a shot at winning the crown.

Regardless of the outcome, we knew we would be losing some talented people. So it's not much of a surprise that seeing the names here is going to sting. But that's where we are, and where we will be for the rest of this mini season as it plays out. Every week is going to take us one step closer to the end, and one heartbreak after another.

From the main competition - leaving us is

[personal profile] codenamewanderlust 

and from the Second Chance, it is

[personal profile] blue_velvet 

Thank you so much to both of you for coming out this mini season. I've really been enjoying your writing, and I know a lot of others feel the same way. You certainly gave them a difficult choice.

This means that [personal profile] babydramatic_1950  is claiming the final spot and joining the main competition.  Congratulations!

Plans don't tend to change that often when it comes to Idol, which is why I like to be upfront and tell you when it does, and why.

I had planned on announcing the new topic last night. But as I was about to do so, I had a change of heart and decided to instead start everyone on the same footing in Week 13. So it will be announced following the results of the Write Offs.

Which, speaking of the Write Offs, that's another thing that changed. I had intended them to be regular polls. I was created them. I was in the process of posting them. After an hour of weird error messages and the poll itself not showing up (to the point that I ended up checking to make sure my paid time hadn't expired, it hasn't. Yet. It's close though) I was at the point where I started considering other options. The one that made the most sense was to have a Contestant Only email poll.

Given that this is for who is moving forward, I might as well put it before a true Jury of Your Peers to make the call. Especially since the general readership was unable to make a clear decision.

I've had a few ineligible people email me - and I've had to let them know that I couldn't take their ballots. Which sucks. I would love to take as many votes as possible - but to be clear: Contestant Only means "if there was a poll posted RIGHT NOW, your name would be in it". (or could be in it, given that there is a Write-Off happening. :D)
If your name would be in the poll - I can take your ballot.

If not, then I can't.

Voting is VERY close again, but there are a lot of voices that haven't been heard from yet. So who knows how this will play out. You only have until tonight though - https://therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1034807.html

There were two polls, but I'm only going to make one Results post. Because this is the big one. The one that everyone has been waiting to see how it was going to turn out.

And besides, this week had unexpected results in both polls. So we might as well just put all the "Wha..." responses all in one place.

We're start with the main competition, since that is also where we are going to end, and might as well make things circular.

Once again, I asked for the Jury for their picks for who would receive immunity this week, and once again, it was really close. This time it came down to *a single vote*. That's the theme of the mini season after all. Those close calls and the one vote that either came in, or didn't. In this case, that one vote gave someone immunity - and changed this week's results for a second week in a row.

Congratulations to kehlen- who received this week's immunity, who was actually on the chopping block this week. This means they survive another round.

Leaving us this week from the main competition and joining the jury is

the always great [personal profile] megatronix 

who will definitely be missed.

Thanks to the immunity, we also have a 3-way tie for that second spot between [personal profile] codenamewanderlust , [personal profile] kimschlotwrites  and [personal profile] murielle . Which means there will be a Sudden Death Write-Off to determine who will be leaving us. More on that later.


Now for Second Chance, they had their own unexpected results. The people joining the Jury are:

[personal profile] alycewilson 
[personal profile] oxymoron67 
[personal profile] reidharriscooper 
[personal profile] stellinas 


I'm really sorry to be losing you, but I hope that we will be continuing to see you around with the Home Game, the Green Room and of course in your role as the Jury that is helping to shape how this all plays out.


Those joining the main competition, and in the hunt to win it all are

[personal profile] dmousey 
[personal profile] itsjust_c 
[personal profile] spilledink562 [personal profile] wolfden 
[personal profile] yachiru 

There are two names who are missing. Because they tied. Which means that the final spot, that last shot at getting into the main competition is coming down to a one-on-one literary slug fest between
[personal profile] babydramatic_1950  and [personal profile] blue_velvet ! It's another Sudden Death Write-Off!

***

For those in the Write-Offs, here are your instructions. It's Open Topic. Meaning you can write whatever you want.
You have until tomorrow, Sunday Jan 20th at 9pm EST to link your entries back to the dedicated thread below.

Have fun!
