Green Room - Week 26 - Day 7

Aug 03, 2017 22:58

Remember what I said about how I try to always be optimistic - because what is happening is going to happen regardless, and you might as well find something positive to focus on? (And of course there are some *truly* horrific things that are exempt from that ( Read more... )

This week the writing was SO good. I mean it's always good, but this week the final ten took the prompt and turned it upside down, inside out, and back to front. Voting was beyond challenging. Voting was painful. P A I N F U L!

Do zombies feel pain?

I am at the home office for work this week and have been stupid busy. I made time to read everyone and still have to go hit the clicky boxes, but didn't have enough time or brain to comment, and I apologize for that. At this stage of the game it's just all so good.

Speaking of work, I'm getting a whole new set of responsibilities, which means I also have to teach other people everything I do now. I've been doing AP for four years it's tough to remember where I started and not to explain everything up front. Heh.

"Those long lost groups that were founded to "destroy" Idol?" -- what were you up to? Is this more of Idol's conflict-laden past? I guess it's true: "That which does not kill us makes us stronger."

Gary had a lot of enemies back then because of Idol because of all the in-fighting that happened here. People who were eliminated made/modded the bulk of the "take Idol down" communities. Some people founded "other" writing communities where it was less about the game and more about the writing. They didn't last long because, back then, it was more about the game.

He's still standing. The others have long left LJ and their hate communities and anti-Idol communities, so yeah, what doesn't kill Gary makes him stronger :)

Just a couple additions to what Kizzy said that I think are important to point out ( ... )

I'd also add a couple things - because I've obviously been thinking about this subject for a long time and have some opinions ( ... )

While I was eating lunch, I was thinking that folks who weren't around "in the old days" might like a specific example of the kinds of suggestions that were received. I'm actually going to use one that I ended up using. Just not *when* they wanted it used ( ... )

Like I said, I eventually started using 1 word topics - and it was specifically because that conversation got me thinking about it.

The same way that someone (again, I know who) saying that we should "play as teams" was what sparked the Friends and Rivals mini season. I just won't change things in mid-stream, or without sitting down and figuring out how these ideas will impact the bigger picture.
