Have any Week 1 entries caught your attention, and kept it?

How are you doing?

We went to see 28 Years Later yesterday. It was good, but I wish I had known it was the first movie in a new trilogy. It would have made the ending seem less abrupt!

I just want more, plz.

Date: 2025-06-24 03:27 pm (UTC)There are people playing to win? LOL It's a fascinating question, but for me it's always been more about surviving from week to week, rather than being the overall winner. Of course, maybe that's just because I don't have the stamina to be a "serious" contender. (grin)

Date: 2025-06-24 04:35 pm (UTC)I've never been a serious contender either, though I've probably cracked the top 10-12 when we were working with a much larger contest. I'm a lot more likely to run out of byes before I get eliminated on most occasions though. This round has far fewer people, so I think my chances of getting eliminated are much higher than in the past when you could just fly under the radar for weeks at a time.

"This round has far fewer people, so I think my chances of getting eliminated are much higher than in the past when you could just fly under the radar for weeks at a time."
And that's what really fascinates me, voting patterns. For example, both you and I wrote nonfiction this week. How much of our position in the poll is based on that, verses how we told our stories, verses the "cult of personality" which one of us has more friends who will vote for us just because? (grin) I'll never know any of that for sure--unless maybe I could put together my own LJ Idol user study--but it's fun to theorize.
