so since I quit idol ..

[rdfreak]

So since i decided to quit idol, I have left the community and will use writers block for my writing pleasure. If I hadn't of left, I'd still be in, actually, which I was surprised about, but very soon, the cheating would have caught up to me. Some people, who, in my opinion, didn't have a great piece up, in terms of writing style, still got stacks of votes, and why's that? because I read them pleading with my very own ears, (the concept of reading with one's ears sounds more amusing than it actually is for us.)
Today I am meeting up with W (a friend of R's) in the city where I agreed to help him with his thesis. Should be interesting; I've never met him.
I would really enjoy idol if people would only be fair. it's a shame that most people feel so incompetent that they have to ask their non-LJ friends for votes. Ever heard of just letting nature take its course and thereby allowing just the other contestents to vote --- silly silly people!
I might set up my own community, or try and get my old a_good_story back from the dead! -- I think I started it and then couldn't be bothered with it at the time.
so yeh, I will bring it back; ya know, tell my friends, who were interested in it before, tell community_promo, etc etc.
til next time, RdFreak

wow, i just realized you're a moderator. when does the new season start? shame I didn't know about this earlier! ah well ..
I couldn't join could I? just to see how it works?

[uawildcatgrl.livejournal.com]

This season has already started but I'll let you join the community to check it out and participate in voting and commenting and to be a random writer if you wish.

[rdfreak.livejournal.com]

yes, realized the season already started, so wanted to ask before I tried to join.
thanks heaps! :)

I like the sound of your community, and will be joining up for next season!

[uawildcatgrl.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thanks!

[desert-rose.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! Any chance I could join too, just to vote etc? I just withdrew from Idol, as my heart isn't in it, and I'm not sure I like how things are already playing out.

[uawildcatgrl.livejournal.com]

Sure go ahead!

[desert-rose.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

:-)

talk about delay; christmas is coming!
At least this community banns the pimping in one's LJ! :)

[desert-rose.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, some things will never change- my computer blew up last week, so I have been limited to one I can hardly type on. That's my excuse, anyways.


And thanks for the reminder about Christmas, I'm trying to avoid that this year. *grins*

The anonymous aspect of the brenljidol is a good one!

[rdfreak.livejournal.com]

bloody oath it is mate! It's the only way an online comp such as this can be played fairly.
and what do you mean "some things never change?"
surviving without a computer hey? that got to be pretty tough. I couldn't do it; you're one up on me. I will admit to any of those faults of mine.

[desert-rose.livejournal.com]

Me taking forever to respond to comments will never change.


I have one of those eeepcs, which stopped total insanity from setting in, but it's really slow, and has the most horrible keyboard. But, it at least meant I could post my Idol entry last week, and be online a little.

[rdfreak.livejournal.com]

you wrote: Me taking forever to respond to comments will never change.
Well I don't see why that should be a barier since you're online all the time anyway, like myself.

[rdfreak.livejournal.com]

way damn fairer than therealljidol!

I think all three communities - Bren's, therealljidol, and brigits_flame are a good place for someone. I had a great time in Idol, I'm currently competing in thebrenljidol, and I've been a co-maintainer for brigits_flame for quite some time now, and I feel that every crowd is very different. Gary's really started something great, there, and while we've had differences in the past, I have to say that it's a tough act to try to follow. What he does is HARD, and it's not something just anyone can do.

Anyways, I know you were considering brigits_flame in the past as well, and you're welcome to join in there while you're waiting for Idol and thebrenljidol to be open to membership. Signups are open, and to my knowledge, there's no culture of self-promotion in the community.

Anyways, sorry to butt in your LJ. I just wanted to make it clear that you're welcome there too. Since we run a monthly contest, you could hang around there until the other competitions open then jump back to those communities seamlessly.

[rdfreak.livejournal.com]

I was not considering that community. it was one that was suggested to me.
I don't understand how people can watch music idol and then say therealljidol is played fairly.
I think it's a great idea, but poorly thought through.

and I'm flattered that you still want to read my LJ miss desert rose, but, get over it!
