comedychick did an overview for those who don't know what the heck therealljidol is. You see me posting my entries, asking for votes, talking about this and that...but many of you might not have a clue as the real dynamics of it (and what makes it great).
I urge everyone to try it out (next season to play, you can read and talk to contestants right now). It's a lot of fun, and it's helped me improve my writing over the last two seasons. I've met great people, including my boyfriend and many awesome friends (some of which I've met in real life, other's I plan on meeting soon hopefully).
All in all, it's great. If you have even an inkling of interesting in writing (fiction, regular blogging, non-fiction, essays, you name it, everything is allowed), then check out this explanation below!
