So a wonderful, long-time Kossack writes a thoughtful, powerful diary that hits the top of the Rec List and as is the unfortunate custom at Daily Kos, there have been at least five variations on her theme since then -- all of which could have been summarized in one Comment within her diary.
The purpose of this non-diary is give everyone here contemplating a glom of said diary an opportunity to write your rip-off without all the fuss of actually creating an idea and writing a diary.
I believe this will save all of us here a bit of energy and time.
Here's how "Write Your Own 'Losing' Diary" works:
Using the Comments section below...
- Create a Subject Line that would have been the Headline of your version of "Losing" (and no ellipses please for, as fond of them as I am myself, the entire Headline must be contained within the Subject line).
- Then use the Comment Box to enter a brief, 1-2 sentence synopsis of your version of "Losing". (Cut & pastes of existing "Losing" copycat diaries are not appreciated and Trusted Users will know what to do with those.)
The winner of the "Write Your Own 'Losing' Diary" contest will be decided based upon Net Number Of Tips (i.e., Total Tips minus Any HRs) of each Comment and the winner will be apparent to all.
Oh, and feel free to tend your own little "Losing" diaries, as I won't be doing it for you.
[Void where prohibited by admins. Previous "Losing" diarists do not qualify, and non-diarist TJ below does not qualify either, so leave it alone!] OK, maybe everybody's taking me a little too seriously on that last part?
UPDATE: Title now spicier for extra flavor.
