*spins the wheel of prompts* 


OH.  This is fun.  This has been the cutting room floor of every season for the last few years, just waiting to show up!

It's less of a "prompt" and more of an exercise. 

"Re-imagine another contestant's entry" 

You have 5 weeks worth of material from your fellow contestants.  Find something you want to use as your springboard!!!! Twist it. Turn it inside out! Make it your own!!

You have until next Friday August 8th at 7pm ET to submit your entry.  So I little extra time. 

Have fun!!!

Before we get to anything else there is an antidote to hand out.  Once again, it is xeena  taking it home. Please reach out to me to let me know who will be drinking it!

 There were two people leaving us this week, and of course because this is all about the chaos, the voters threw their own twist into the mix!

The first contestant leaving simplyn2deep 

Thank you for coming out, and I hope you will jump back into the fray when the Wheel gives you the opportunity!

For that 2nd spot though, there was a 4 way tie between  garnigal , roina_arwen   swirlsofpurple  and tonithegreat !

Which brings up the question I've been asked before - how are tie breakers going to be handled in this crazy thing we call the Wheel of Chaos? 

I made a list of different ways to handle tiebreakers.  I put those ways on a wheel.  :)  

Of course I put them on a wheel!!! What did you think would happen???   ;) 

Every single tiebreaker is going to be handled differently, because the wheel will decide each and every time.  

I'll even tell you, for the sake of scaring you, what the options are: 

No one goes home 

Everyone goes home ‘

Black mark 

Sudden death write off

Wheel decides who is eliminated

So... *spins* 


The Wheel says - Sudden Death Write Off. 


The 4 of you have until Saturday, August 2nd at 7pm to submit an entry.  It's Open Topic, so it can be anything you want.   Link your entry to the spot in the comments. Have fun!

A few words from clauderainsrm:

Before we get to the good stuff, reading the entries, we have to deal with the bad.

3 contestants ran out of byes and missed the deadline this week. Which means we are saying goodbye to gunwithoutmusic , krispykritter and static_abyss

You will all be missed. But I’m hoping you will Home Game, until the Wheel spins in your direction again and allows you to get back into this beautiful mess!


The poll is rapidly shrinking. But as everyone knows, that could change at any point! (it could also rapidly shrink!!)

For now though, we will be losing… *spins the wheel) the bottom 2 this week.

So make sure you read, comment and vote for your favorites!! And tell your friends to do the same!!!

The poll will close on Thursday July 31st at 8pm ET.

Good luck to everyone!

 There's a lot going on, so let's put all the links in one handy place for you.

The twist that keeps not being a twist and the puzzling development:   therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1191429.html

The new prompt: therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1191745.html

This would also be a good spot for people to discuss the new prompt.  Who was Googled it already?  :)  Who already knew it?  Has it sparked anything?

Well, either way, good luck with that!  ;)

How has your week been going? 

 Last week I talked about removing one of the "No Twist" options. 

But like all things, I couldn't do that on my own.  I went to a random generated coin flip.  Heads I removed a "no twist". Tails it stayed the way it was. 

It came up tails.  So the "No Twist" stayed on the board. This week.  I'll ask again before the next time. 

Then I asked the Wheel if there would be a twist... and of course it said NO.  

(I then asked the Wheel, if there WAS a twist what it would be, and man that would have been a fun reveal!!! But I guess we will have that next time.) 

So, no twist this week. 

The antidote is once again in the hands of xeena to determine what will happen with it. 

and the castle was eerie and silent all night long, with no signs of any foul play.  What are the Killer(s) up to???  Is it possible their ranks are growing?  

A few words from clauderainsrm:

The Killer(s) have claimed their first victim! https://therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1190785.html

But we must still go forward with a vote to determine who else will be leaving us this week!

It’s not going to be easy given how good the entries are this time around.

Now it’s all up to you - the voters! Read. Comment. Vote for your favorites!! You are the only ones who can save them! You can also determine who will receive the antidote that may stop the evil schemes of the Killer(s)!

That’s a lot of power, and also great responsibility. Use it well.

There will be (spins wheel) 1 person leaving us this week.

The poll closes Wednesday July 23rd at 8pm ET.

Good luck to everyone!

 The deadline for this week's prompt is tomorrow. Which is why there are still so many of them missing!  ;)  Slackers!!!

For those of you who like to read ahead though, there are some really good ones already up there.  No pressure to the slackers!  ;)
