LJ Idol: a writing rollercoaster with iffy brakes

1 Year ago, we lost kathrynrose.

15 years ago, we lost Mitch Hedberg.

Only one of these two things has a link to something that will make me smile. So I'm going to post a link to some stuff from Mitch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVceIdoWf5o

The polls close tonight. https://therealljidol.livejournal.com/1121921.html

So make sure to get your votes in if you want to keep your favorites in this!

Time has stopped having meaning to a lot of people.

But this is one of those times when it does actually matter. Because it's time to say goodbye to some people.

Fortunately, the bulk of who we are saying goodbye to are folks with the opportunity to go into Second Chance. But, as the previous weeks have taught us, especially this last one, having the opportunity to go into Second Chance isn't the same as actually going there. So this might be the last we see of these folks. But hopefully not. Hopefully they will be able to hang in there and fight for their shot to get back into the game. Because it's coming soon.

Results were super tight right up until the end. So this season really could end up going in any direction, at any moment. Which is exciting, but also nerve-wrecking.

So, it's "goodbye for now" and "Welcome to Second Chance" to
beeker121 (who actually fell on her sword, so I think SC is unlikely, but it's still an option!!)

and sunouttomorrow


Unfortunately though, we are also saying goodbye to one person from Second Chance - and there is no third chance...

Which means it's goodbye from the competition, but hopefully not from hanging out with us this season, to i_love_freddie

Thank you so much for sticking with it, even in these difficult times!

It was a different world 9 Idol weeks ago.

That was when you had a choice between 3 topics.

Those topics are back.

You need to pick one of the two you did not do last time:

Choice of 1: Milkshake duck , the Glass Cliff, Blood Harmony

The deadline to link your entries back to this thread is Tuesday, April 7th at 7pm EST

Have fun!

It may be a second chance, but you have the same options as the main competition!

Many of you wrote one of these back in Week 9. But if you didn't, then you can choose any of the 3.

The new topics are up: https://therealljidol.livejournal.com/1123202.html and Second Chance: https://therealljidol.livejournal.com/1123368.html

Which are the same topics, and aren't really "new". They are the return of the 3 topics from several weeks ago.

Oh come on, you knew it was coming!

It was just a matter of when! Did you prepare?

Do you have a strategy when you see multiple topics, when you have a choice of picking 1? Do you decide on ideas for the others, or do you just wing it week to week? :)
