I like to give people proper time to thank the Gatekeepers https://therealljidol.livejournal.com/1151287.htmlRead more... )

Comments

Just reminding people that if you want the comments from the Gatekeepers, email me.

Not everyone has them, or more than a couple lines. But a couple of them (including Erik) did have some notes. I can also tell you if you were David Dondero's "favorite" and "second favorite" (those were the only real notes he gave... and who got a few "LOVE (fill in the blank)" comments. :)

does this apply to everyone or just the ones saved by gatekeepers? thank you!

[clauderainsrm]

It applies to everyone. Everyone received multiple votes from the Gatekeepers. Not everyone ended up with a lot of feedback (since most of it was "I Liked this", but where there is extra feedback that I've been authorized to share, I will share it.

[d0gs]

thank you - just wanted to check as wasn't sure if everyone had received gatekeeper's votes!

I can't lie, I got the "You've been tagged in a post" email from LiveJournal, and I thought, "well, this is it, it's been a good run". I'm shocked, looking at who was eliminated, that that's not the case. This was one of the weeks I felt everyone brought their A game, and I honestly couldn't have told you who would be going home. I'm still shocked at the names on that list.

Thank you, gatekeepers, for giving me the opportunity to keep playing!

I had the same downbeat reaction to my notification, too! Congratulations on staying another round!

[me_sonrei]

It was pretty easy to feel at peace because of how good the other entries were! :)

Thank you for the congrats -- and congrats to you, as well! We both made it!

thank you! <3

That's a lot of sad goodbyes!

I've been especially enjoying alycewilson's heartfelt memory pieces this season! Each one has spoken to me and moved me and rendered memories of my own. It was a wonderful genre for her and a pitch-perfect fit. Thank you for sharing, A! One of my intersection partners, d0gs, has offered her unique brand of female horror as well as some autobio work and it was all wonderful! halfshellvenus is the Idolar who never ever quits, the energizer bunny who consistently entertains with her usually comedic and complicated entries, K, you KNOW what you're supposed to be doing with this newfound free time, now go do it!!! lyssa027 and xlovebecomesher both brought personable stories and writing to the season. I was tickled by how they championed for one another!

Take a very well-deserved rest and SEE YOU NEXT TIME!!!

I'm really sorry to see these writers go and totally did not expect any of them to go out yet D: I've voted for all of them more than once through this competition and halfshellvenus wrote one of my favorite entries I've read not just in this season but in lji, period.

[halfshellvenus]

Aw, thank you so much! It was a risk--zany humor does not appeal to everyone--but that was the story that wanted to be written.

That's kind of been the deciding factor all season. ;)
