LJ Idol? I'm curious as to what it's about. I probably missed it when LJ did their monthly announcements. XD

I don't know if it's affiliated with LJ's announcements, actually. XD A friend who does it got me into it. Here's the FAQ and here's the sign-up, but in a nutshell it's a primarily writing 'contest' that runs along similar lines to the reality TV show. Over the course of a few months the participants write in (or make a gif, art or video, but mostly it's writing) on a specific topic and get whittled down.

Some weeks it comes down to popularity, but some weeks have official reviewers to whittle down the participants further and have the entries judged on their own merit.

They don't have an ending-date for sign-ups, yet, so if it looks interesting to you, you'd be better just signing right up ASAP~ :3

^ See what I just told Bay. XD Basically it's a regular writing thang and it is totally Hats's fault.

Ooooooooh...! Nice!! That looks like a lot of fun. Intense, but fun!

Yeeep. I'm gonna wind up dropping out halfway, I'd bet on it. XD Still, it'll be a good experience.
