LJ Idol Presents:

I've heard there are some people who wanted a Home Game thread. So here it is! :)

Sharp words
Art Is An Infection
Going tharn
Surreptitiously
Behind the curtain

were the topics this week.

So if you're not a current contestant, but still have something you want to share - this is the place!

If you want to write on the topics, but aren't currently in the competition - what do you do???

Play the Home Game, of course!

This is the space to link your Home Game entries!

The topics for this week are:

I can do that
Greatest Hits Record
Que l'enfer, c'est seulement Canada
Aegis
Moon

Love the topics but you're not currently in the game?

That's where the Home Game comes in!

Just pick one (or several!) of the current topics http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/916255.html, write an entry, and post it here!

No polls. No eliminations. Just you posting your work for others to read!

The topics this week are:

Normalization,
the Buddha on the road,
404
White out

IF you are not a current contestant, but still feel like writing, this is the place to link your entries!

It's your last chance to get in on the Idol Minor action!

The topic is "Party" and I hope you will join in on this particular one!

Just link your entries here.

The topic is Far Away

But you are too far away in age to enter Idol Minor. Don't despair! Just post your entries here instead, in the Home Game!

Our topic this week is "Wolf Ticket".

So if you want to play along at Home, just write an entry and link it here!!

***

Entry count update: 19,924 (76 entries to go until we hit 20,000!)

If you want to write on the topics for the week:

Intersubjectivity, Shibusa, rapture of the deep, captcha the flag, the bystander effect, Overwatch

But are not currently a contestant - this is the place for you!

Just link your entries here!

This is also the place for constructive criticism of those pieces.

If you submit at least one entry *and* give constructive criticism on someone else's piece OR just give constructive criticism on *two* different pieces - you are eligible to send me a vote to give a contestant immunity this week!

With the amount of contestants dwindling, that's a lot of power in your hands! So I hope you take advantage of it by participating!

If you've already read the Topic post http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/811500.html, you know what to do here. :)

***

For those *not currently a contestant in the competition* who want to participate though, you can post anything you like. :) A previously written piece, or one based on the topic "Critical Hit"!

The deadline is the same as the topic Monday, Dec 8th at 8pm EST

Have fun!

Because of events, I'm not sure who actually noticed this last week. But with how close the poll has been lately, this could be something that is extremely useful in the coming weeks - so I will cut and paste what I said last week:

Yes, you read that correctly.

The Home Game and Killing Floor have merged - with a twist! :)

If you are NOT a current contestant, but want to write something and link it at Idol, this is the place to come. That's the Home Game element. It's a chance to still have your writing out there, as a part of this place. If you *are* a current contestant, but feel like writing something extra - this is also the place to come!

The Killing Floor is where people go to receive constructive advice on their pieces. So, if you post something here, people are expected to do more than just a "Good job", and instead actually give you something that you can use to make the entry even better.

Mixing them is a move, but I wanted to make a *big* move, so here it is:

IF YOU GIVE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM TO TWO OR MORE PIECES IN THE HG/KF EACH WEEK, YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE TO VOTE ON WHO WILL RECEIVE IMMUNITY IN THE COMPETITION.

That's right. It's not just submitting entries or giving feedback on entries - there's actually *influence over the game* on the line here. :)

So submit your Home Game entry here - for feedback! :)
