The deadline to get your entries in is TONIGHT! http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/981676.html
So hopefully we are going to be seeing *a lot* more entries coming in today.
If not, then I guess we will see a lot more action happening at Second Chance: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/981280.html ;)
If there are people who know you are lagging behind and haven't posted yet, now would be an excellent time to kick them into gear!
Or just kick them in general!

How would YOU describe Idol to a complete newbie?
(I'm particularly interested in hearing from some of our newbies who are still learning about it! :D)
1) See prompt
2) Google prompt (even if you know exactly what it is)
3) Get ideas
4) Procrastinate
5) Use a bye as needed (these are free passes)
6) Answer questions in Green room instead of writing entry
7) Write entry last minute into the night
8) Edit
9) Post
10) Read others entries
11) Vote
12) *Ignore the crazy. No one understands the crazy.
I'd probably just start out by saying it's a writing competition where you're given a topic roughly every week and you have a few days to interpret it how you will and write about it.
Then everybody votes and X number of people are voted off the island. Well, maybe not voted off the island so much as not voted to stay on the island. You get a couple of byes that you can use to skip a week before a certain date.
Basically, see the topic. Read the topic. Interpret the topic. Write about the topic. Read other peoples' interpretations of the topic. Vote on their entries.
Rinse and repeat each week.
I'd also tell them that it's a very friendly group of people. :)
11 AM double check edit cause 2 am flows means missed words and bad logic.
then post before deadline the day of.
This is how you can describe my response to the main entry and how to describe Idol.
Seattle was exactly what I needed right now, though. It got me offline and connecting with people and having fun. Plus I got some improv stage time! So now I've performed improv for an audience in 5 different cities, in 3 different states!
My brain is soooo tired.
Work has EATEN ME ALIVE. Oh well? I managed to post before the deadline, though not much before. We'll see how much longer I can keep this up.
1. I have my entry posted already
2. There are fewer than sixty comments on the topic thread
3. A bunch of those are byes.
hmmmmm.
We wrote a Welcome to Night Vale fanfic poem for the Home Game in an AU universe i was stuck on for awhile. Now I have ideas for it again! XD http://dreamwriters.livejournal.com/119072.html
