LOL, The X Factor is such a fucking farce. That entire elimination was scripted, y/y? *eyeroll* THIS SHOW. The thing is, I wouldn't mind the fuckery quite so much if it weren't so fucking PREDICTABLE

What was your idea for NaNo, out of curiosity? And I haven't been doing NaNo so much as going 'oh my god it's been six days and I haven't written anything!' Cue then two days of writing non-stop to keep up.
Oh, sounds awesome, bb. Good luck for whenever you start it! :]
I'm at 10,791 words right now, mostly because I worked all day Saturday and part of today. I still need to write more tonight too. But I'm having a ridiculously good time writing! Even if it IS just fanfiction ...
I love X Factor's scriptedness. It's week five, so it's time for the Lucie Jones Memorial Elimination Controversy! Or, perhaps under the circumstances, "controverC".

Ha!
Ofcom must fucking HATE it though. I wonder if they employ extra temporary staff for this time of year just to sift through all the ridiculous X Factor complaints.
I'm not really following the X Factor, other than to know someone called Katie's been in the bottom two a lot and a lot of people seem to think she's a bitch. I can imagine there's a lot of selection of songs, running order and staging to favour certain acts over others though, same as BGT.
Strictly's voting system, however, is statistically flawed and gives unfair weighting in certain circumstances. It's unfair both mathematically (assuming - falsely - independence of audience votes and judges decisions) and in how it influences the voters...which is what led to the ridiculous elimination this Sunday. At least the X Factor is transparent enough to release the voting figures after the series - Strictly doesn't, from what I know. < / data nerd >

No shame in writing fanfic for NaNo! I really enjoyed doing that last year. Glad you're having fun with it! :D
