PSA - Reward a Friend
I have this amazing friend. She is all sorts of awesome, as anyone who reads her LJ or knows her in person can attest.
She is also one hell of a wordsmith.
This is her second year competing in LJ Idol and she's already in the top tribe, which is a great hat tip to her skills but also a bit of a curse.
I know that these things always suffer from favouritism, and I can't say that I've read all the entries in her tribe - but I have read those who are polling close to her, and they (to me) are not THAT good. Infact, a couple of them seem to want to pull some kind of "omg you poor thing to be going through this/to have had to go through this"... etc which doesn't seem the point - it's about being crafty with the words, not with the heart strings - and so I want to ask you to (if you like her entry) vote for her over the coming weeks.
If you like reading short-fic or short-non-fic, consider signing up to LJ IDOL
And if you do, have a think about supporting a wonderful wordsmith and someone who inspires people daily. (if you like her entry).
Thanks for the stories belgatherial I really do hope you go far in this years contest - you are certainly one of the best I read.
