Results - Week 29

[clauderainsrm]

It's not the result I was expecting to be announcing when I looked at the polls this morning. Or this afternoon. Or really even an hour ago

Holy crap.

[rayaso]

But well-deserved crap, nonetheless. Congratulations on surviving to write again.

I was really really hoping to survive this week.

I realize this week's story was not as compelling as some I've written, but it was the one that best fit this prompt.

Surviving this week, though, would have represented 100 survived votes for karmasoup, and I hadn't been hoping for reaching that milestone initially, but then it got so close, and looked so promising--just one week away, that I actually dared to hope for a moment.

And top 5 feels like it would have carried more weight than top 6, if I were to maybe try to make something useful out of it, but now I guess I'll have to find out how useful top 6 is, if I can even figure out how to make anything of it at all, and not just keep maintaining the pipe dream of being a professional writer on some unobtainable pedestal.

4 people were trying to vote and couldn't... 2 couldn't figure out how, and 2 missed the deadline... one by seconds. Just as well, though, as one more would have pitted me against my gal dadi, and 2 or more would have sent her packing, and I wouldn't have

I’m so sorry to lose you 😥 I know you will get to 100 next time!

[karmasoup]

Thank you. And, yes, I would only have to survive one vote then, and I'm pretty sure I'm never the worst in the pack at the beginning, so I'm hoping that would be a given, but it will have to wait until next season, whenever that happens... also reaching it then feels a little anticlimactic, but c'est la vie.

My 100th week was anti climatic. I didn’t know it was my 100th week and it was me bye-ing out of the competition!

[rayaso]

This is such an unfortunate loss. I have always enjoyed karmasoup's entries, and I hope she returns for any future seasons.

If he stays around here, I'll be back, like a bad penny, I just keep turning up. I might write from a different provider, though... will check out DreamWidth or alternatives.

[kittenboo]

Oh wow, it’s so hard to say goodbye to anyone at this point. And the poll changed so many times over the last couple hours.

[karmasoup]

It was for sure a nail biting, white knuckled roller coaster ride!

[dadi]

Oh noooooooooooo! I am so sorry :( this is so sad. I really saw you winning this :(
Thank you so much for everything in this journey. You made a lasting impression, with your writing and your personality!

[karmasoup]

Well, thank you for the vote of confidence... I never realistically entertained the notion of taking it all, as I understand the final few weeks get pretty grueling - as is evidenced by this week's challenge. I'm glad to know I have touched some folks positively along the way, though, and I am grateful you for your sweetness, as always. <3
