LJ Idol Mini-Season A Million
Apparently there's finally a new "mini" season of the "The Real LJ Idol," the writing contest that has now wholly moved off LJ, and calls itself mini presumably solely to prevent me from ever achieving my goal of being the first to have over 200 official entries ;)

Yes! It used to be run here on livejournal but moved to Dreamwidth after Russia began to behave abominably, because apparently livejournal is at least partially owned by Russian oligarchs connected to Putin now. Basically the guy who runs it (a mysterious figure known only as "Gary") will post an entry with a prompt (usually a phrase) and people make posts inspired by that prompt, post them in their own livejournal (/dreamwithal), and post a link back to their post in comments to the prompt-post (which should be the only comments to said post. Now one _can_ read the entries as they come in, and usually especially at the beginning of the season when there's a lot to get through (I think in its glory days there'd be like 300 starters), but mostly its easier to wait until, after the deadline (usually like 5 days), Gary posts a poll that links to every entry, and then its easy to go down the list, read them and vote.
You can see the old posts from when it was last on livejournal at therealljidol. In addition to the prompt and voting posts you'll notice a lot of "green room" posts which are mainly just for general socializing amongst the participants and discussions of notional cookies.
And then the new location is already spooling up with fresh green rooms and such here: https://therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/
