Al the cool kids are doing it

...but I thought I'd give LJ Idol a try despite that. (I'm uncool.)

- You are very cool.
- What is it? I couldn't work out from the link.

It's a contest (the name is meant to echo Pop Idol), with a theme each week and voting and stuff. I'll surely lose and be out of it pretty quickly but I thought some excuses to write more in the meantime wouldn't go amiss.

[sfred]

I'm sure you'll do well!

Fifth season competitor here, long time fan of the uncool (BTDT Bought the Tshirt). Welcome to Idol and good luck!

Thank you! I fear competition but figure it'll be a good excuse to write more again.

Ooh, good luck with it! And also, I love your writing so it's a win for me too!

[cosmolinguist]

Thank you. Not sure at all about this first one, but I found out about it something like 12 hours before the deadline; in future I have a week or something :)

Oh, minnesattva, I'm so glad you decided to do this. I wish with all my heart I'd had the foresight to post about this sooner. Every once in a while, procrastination truly does take a big fat bite outta my tush.

It's okay; I can use it as an excuse for the deeply lackluster (I believe -- though thank you for saying you disagree! ;) I liked yours too! and good luck) entry I had to conjure up so close to the deadline ;)

in typical fashion, i read this and immediately thought "oooh, this sounds like something i should do," only to find that i've missed the deadline.

good luck, and if there's anything i can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask.
