Week 27

Thank you to all who read my entries and voted for me, with a special thank you for those who took the time to leave comments. I really enjoyed participating in LJ Idol, and I was constantly amazed at the quality of writing here.  I am grateful to my wife, halfshellvenus, for getting me involved and for her encouragement.

Thank you. It was a wonderful experience.

*Hugs*

[rayaso.livejournal.com]

I must be suffering from LJ Idol blindness. I try to reply to comments promptly, but yours escaped my attention, and I apologize. Thank you for the Hugs, which means a lot to mean coming from you. I love your writing!

[roina-arwen.livejournal.com]

No worries about the comment delay, it happens to everyone. And I'm glad to know you enjoy my writing - thank you! :)

[lrig-rorrim.livejournal.com]

:( Fooey. You will definitely be missed.

[rayaso.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry I did not respond sooner. I seem to be getting sloppy, because I try to respond to comments fairly promptly. I apologize. Thank you for your compliment. You are one of my favorite writers, and I wish you good luck.

*cries inconsolably*

Keep writing. You.

[rayaso.livejournal.com]

I think I was bitten by the writing bug, but right now I can't find it. I hope our cat didn't eat it, because it would be fun to write again. I appreciate all your great comments and encouragement.

[mamas-minion.livejournal.com]

OH NO! I always looked forward to your stories.

[rayaso.livejournal.com]

Thank you. It was time to bow out. I have always enjoyed your entries and your minions!

[i-17bingo.livejournal.com]

Well, fuck.

[rayaso.livejournal.com]

Fuck, indeed. It was simply time to go. Thank you for your comments and your entries. It was fun.

[karmasoup.livejournal.com]

Nobody asked me! I would not have given my permission for this! :(

Going to pout now.

[rayaso.livejournal.com]

Thank you. It was not the end I desired, but it was time for it.

[dmousey.livejournal.com]

:0( Please keep writing for you. ::huggz::

[rayaso.livejournal.com]

Thank you, especially for the huggz. It was not an easy decision.

[halfshellvenus.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad I persuaded you to give this a try! You thought you'd be out in the first round, and here it is at week 27.

I hope you're proud of the entries you wrote, and are as please with them as your readers are. It was a wonderful journey to see what you came up with each week. :)

[rayaso.livejournal.com]

I am so impressed with how you and the others come up with such wonderful entries, week after week after week. I am certainly happy that you persuaded me to try this, and so are the Talking Crack, Mister Ed, the traitorous chair detective and all the others.

[mallorys-camera.livejournal.com]

Nice try, but I'm voting for you anyway!!!! :-)

'Cause I love much of the stuff you've written so far, and hey! You can still change your mind.

[rayaso.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I really appreciated the time you took to read my entries and your votes. I loved your writing, and it was one of the highlights of the competition. Good luck to you!

Thank you. This is very flattering. If I get enough votes, I will reconsider and keep writing.

[eternal-ot.livejournal.com]

You disappoint me..:/..Pls reconsider it, if you stay...I really enjoyed reading you and hoping for you to go a long way...this is not done..:(

[rayaso.livejournal.com]

It seemed like it was time, but people have been voting for me in spite of my sacrifice, which is a real compliment. If I get enough votes, I will stay in.

[eternal-ot.livejournal.com]
