rmI'll be doing LJ Idol again, largely as a way to make myself write about something other than Torchwood.
I won't be "in it to win it" as they say, as I don't think I stand a chance. I grate on people, I'm not accessible (nor am I interested in being so -- I do not write to make people comfortable) and I'm likely staying the bloody hell away from the green room this time. A couple of people tried to bring the drama to me last time, and I was largely able to call that shit out and disengage myself from it quickly, but this time I'd like to avoid it entirely. I also promised people critiques of specific work way back and then never got to it, which, quite rightly (and I am sorry), can't have endeared me to anyone.
But I'll still play.

Date: 2008-09-16 01:39 pm (UTC)My advice, and remember, I didn't even make it to the top 50 is this:
If someone's being an ass to you, call them on it. Don't be nice just in hopes of keeping their vote. They already don't like you. And then after you call them on it? Stop talking. Don't respond to their response. Let it go. Shit dies down fast that way and you look like a functional human. It's all harder than it sounds, but it worked for me, once I figured it out.
