This week, the Top 13 had the task of writing about a family tradition. The judges went through and commented on their posts and gave them some feedback, which you can see on the assignments. Also, we are happy to have the awesome author of You Know It Happens At Your House Too as a guest judge this week!
This is how voting works: All of the posts are linked below. Read through them, and then come back here and use the poll below to cast your vote!
Voting ends tomorrow, at 11:59 PM CST!

Make sure you choose your favorite wisely! This week is going to be a double elimination, and two of the Top 13 will be eliminated from the competition on Friday!
I voted... I look forward to watching this as it continues... One question for the judges, Which on is Simon, and who is the unpredictable and over medicated Paula, and who is planning on overusing the word "DOG" like Randy? That would make reading the comments even MORE awesome!
ReplyDeleteI've been told I'm Randy. Dawg.
DeleteLOL! This is a pretty sweet gig. Should I go to rehab for "exhaustion" so I can get ready to judge? Is that how you got in? ;-)
DeleteI've also got a question. Is this like voting on American Idol where you can hit the button over and over like you can text in your vote over and over? Or is it one and done for each vote?
ReplyDeleteIt's once per IP address.
DeleteAh ok thanks Heather!
ReplyDeleteThe limit on one vote per IP address is more than a little frustrating. I have a coworker who wants to vote, but can't because I already did. What if she beats me to it next week and doesn't vote for who I would have picked?!
ReplyDeleteThe reason it is set up like this, is to prevent people from cheating, and voting over and over. The only other way to monitor that is to block it by cookies, and that isn't reliable because all someone would have to do is reset their cookies. Some people have their browser set to do that every time it closes and reopens. You are welcome to vote from home, or on your mobile phone, which should have a different IP address than your work network.
DeleteNoon is stupid! Make it midnight for people who have lives away from the computer, mmmk? Thanks! xsnos
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you are referring to the time voting starts, or the time the elimination is announced, but either way, the information is always here so you can get to it later in the day.
DeleteWonderful writing. Thank you for sharing a little bit of all of you, with all of us!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to read all the different takes on this prompt. :) Thanks for the good reads! And good luck everyone!
