I refused to vote for the stupid Vivi's. I don't like awards. I don't like to pit one person against another... much less one friend against another. (This could be a result of being a Kansas Chiefs fan, I don't know: it gets to the point where you dread every contest.) I will never, never vote in the Vivi contest.
So why am I staying up past my bedtime, wishing they'd hurry up and post the results?
No, I didn't vote. I never will. But I still want the results.
Right now.

You silly girl you!
I didn't even know what they were but I got a nomination by one person and someone sent an email saying I'd been nominated...but then I think they voted down to fewer nominations. I noticed I didn't make that cut? LOL. It was ok by me as I didn't know what it was anyway. I'm not even sure how it works. I guess I hadn't noticed this the year before. Or if I did, I don't remember it being called ViVi and what does ViVi stand for? Anyway, I suppose if these are the best of the best, then we'll be led to some new journals.
I kinda feel the same.. maybe not as strongly as you, but i don't write my journal as if i am in some sort of competition. It is nice that it leads us to other journals though. I didn't vote either, though some of the journals I read were nominated.
I know how you feel... it does seem kind of unfair and biased at times, but I played along, and I did vote, because I got so caught up in the whole thing. There really are alot of very good journals out there, and some very talented writers, but I still think it has alot to do with popularity, more than anything, at least with alot of the ones that I saw that were nominated. Just my opinion though.
Guess since I am such a "follower", I should just keep my mouth shut..

I admit my ego went rampant for a day when I was nominated. After that it's all good, and mellow. GO me.
