therealljidol The vast majority of contestants haven't posted yet, which means I'll have a busy night tomorrow! (Note: That's the deadline to get in your entries, in case you've forgotten, tomorrow!) therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1157031.html
If you haven't forgotten, but just like to wait until last minute, it's probably around the time that you should be looking at the prompt and writing an entry. :)

My lawyers have advised me to NOT imply that Idol has been endorsed by Taylor Swift. So I will not. Not that anyone thought she had, but maybe in the back of your mind you were wondering "Did Taylor Swift endorse this mini season of LJ Idol"? And the answer to that is, I can not speak to that at this time.

In reading through previous Green Rooms it's interesting to see what a community hub we were in terms of topics that came up. It wasn't always just about the nature of writing, but news in general. I think a big part of the shift wasn't just the change in how social media is used/misused and how tense a lot of these conversations became but that there was a shift in who came into these spaces to talk. There simply wasn't as much of an interest in in-depth conversations anymore (not that they ever got TOO deep anyway. I always try to keep it lighthearted. There are never too many conversations about why René Descartes should have an Acme anvil dropped on his head. But maybe there *should* be.... ;)
Every season, be it a full season, mini, exhibit, special event, etc has it's own vibe. It should be it's own thing that develops over the course of the time we have together. Having so many back to back though I think created a singular style. Not that it's always a bad thing. But it's definitely a "thing"... much like the shifts in what people want out of Idol. (from the "we're just here to have some fun to those using it to further their writing career/gain skills and everything in between. I know of a couple who started out in the first camp who *have* ended up using it professionally! Which is great.
I think the fact that at my old jobs, I was always able to get online and post/engage whereas with this one I can't do that. (they actually monitor) is also a factor. I'm hoping that people are too busy talking to each other to care about whatever I'm saying...

What are YOU hoping to get out of this mini season, when it's all said and done?
