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

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.

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.
