I wasn't entirely sure if people would bother to give out the antidote this week or not. But they did - and there was a clear majority on who should receive it.

l0lita - drink up!!!

Yes, that's the only reason why you are still alive. :) It was a parting Week 15 shot from our last remaining Killer! But those that remain in the game sniffed it out and prevented it from happening!

Congratulations!!

I'd love to hear some Killer stories from their own perspectives on the twist, and how they navigated it! Not sure if there is anyone who wants to share.

A few words from

clauderainsrm:

The Portfolio may be my favorite Idol challenge. It’s just this perfect reminder of the road people have been on to get to this point, and preparation for what is to come, presented in a really nice package. If it’s done right, there might even be a bow on it!

So everyone has some reading to do, because it’s not just 5 entries, it’s multiple entries within those links!! Please take the time to actually pause and consider what everyone has presented. They took the time for you, take the time for them to read and comment!!

The poll is closing Tuesday December 23rd at 8pm. So you can’t say you didn’t have the time! ;)

We will be losing the 2 writers with the fewest votes, so the stakes are really high on this!
Good luck to everyone!

Hello from the airport. I'm off on my trip to Memphis. The one to Little Rock was AMAZING.

This promises to be much colder. :O DO NOT WANT. Please send heat.

If not heat - please send in your entries by Tuesday. therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1214127.html Or both. Yes, that's even better. Send both!!

Apparently there is at least one person afraid that there is still a dose of poison out there, because I have received a request to distribute an antidote. So, if you are feeling similarly, and are one of the Top 5, please make sure to send your request to me at clauderainsrm@gmail.com!

How is your week going?

My flight to Little Rock is at 7 am so I need to be asleep before now. But I wanted to make sure I posted the new prompt therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1214127.html and gave you a space (this one) to ask questions if you had them. Or complain. :)

While you are doing that though, make sure you are also going over the results post and saying goodbye to the two writers leaving us this week: therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1213884.html

Hope you have a great weekend! I'll be checking in from Little Rock and/or the airport and answering your questions as I can.

Do you have any plans?

There are 5 writers left standing.

I'm going out of town both this weekend and next... it's the holiday season... yeah, you know where this is going. ;)

Long deadline. But why? What could possibly justify a long deadline.

The Portfolio.

Congratulations, you have made it to the Portfolio.

If you've never seen this before, it's what it sounds like. It's your Idol resume, in the form of stories.

There are multiple pieces:

- A wraparound piece of your own, something to tie the elements together. It's an Open Topic but with a specific purpose of tying things together in a complete package.

- A link to your favorite entry that you have written during the Wheel of Chaos.

- A link to your favorite entry that SOMEONE ELSE has written during the Wheel of Chaos

- An entry using the prompt "6 7" because, yeah, why not?

- An entry using the prompt "Banner year"

- An "Open Letter" to a contestant in this Wheel of Chaos who is no longer an active participant. Note: Just to make it fun, it can't be the one who wrote that entry you are linking. :)

There are 6 elements to the Portfolio. But to be fair, you don't have to write anything for 2 of them, just curate!

You have until Tuesday December 16th at 8pm ET to link the post to the Wrap Around. (The Wrap Around should contain the links to all the other entries)

Have fun!!

Losing two contestants at this point is just brutal, but unfortunately that is where we are at as the Wheel of Chaos slows down and comes to a complete stop.

We are losing two people that I'm not only a fan of them as writers, I'm a fan of them as human beings. Which *looks around at the rest of you complete and utter scoundrels* No comment. ;)

Goodbye to

hafnia and to

flipflop_diva I kept waiting for either of you to burst out of the shadows as the dark horse contender of the season. But I'll take just getting to read some great stories from both of you.

Thank you so much for coming out for this crazy thing!!!
