A few words from

People like to “tell me the truth” about things.
One of those truths was something that I ended up hearing more times than I can fully remember - but the most recent one was a little over a week ago.
“We all know Allison is going to win this again” and “Everyone else is just playing for Second Place”
When I lifted the ban on previous winners participating, I knew that anything could happen. Most of them ended up byeing out. But one stayed.
Until now.
Because not every season is the same, and Real Life can happen.
So wipe those slate boards clean Ladies and Gentlemen. Because it’s anyone’s game.
Thank you so much to
Hope to see you in the Home Game! (and at the Thai Temple when you are in town! ;) )
As for the rest of you, now that you have pulled your jaws up off the floor - our topic was “Gauntlet” and I wasn’t joking.
There is a regular poll. We will be losing the bottom three from there.
But there is ALSO a CONTESTANT ONLY vote. If you are a current contestant. (Hint: If your name is in the poll, you are) You will send me a list of your 15 FAVORITES from this week to clauderainsrm@gmail.com
We will be losing at least 5 but no more than 10 from there.
That’s right. It’s time to get brutal. :D
The deadline to get your contestant only votes to me is Tuesday, Dec 2nd at 8pm EST
The public poll will close at 9pm EST the same night.
Good luck to everyone.
(You’re going to need it. )

So sorry to see you go!
I hope you continue to play in the home game. :)
Do you take the public poll results into consideration first, then the contestant only votes or vice versa?
Good luck everyone, and *Hugs* to Whipchick!
Mwahaha. No moar choosing far too few contestants in contestant-only votes or me. <3
Thanks so much for the kind words - I've enjoyed writing this season, but my editing business is picking up. So far this month I've done developmental edits for a YA set in Alaska and an African-American history/mythological family saga, and am about to ghostwrite a book on real-estate newsletters before plunging into line-editing a Turkish writer's science fiction epic and a Cold War memoir in January. On one hand, it's great to be making money in my field; on the other hand, it sure is cutting into my writing time, and I have to re-evaluate what I want to be doing!
I've felt for a few weeks now I wasn't giving the kind of feedback and support to my fellow contestants that really justified asking for theirs in return, so it's a bit of a relief :) And hey, maybe I'll find some way...some week...possibly soon...to be involved in another way.
Heh, heh, heh.
Peace and huggz
