Step 1. Find your name. That is the order you choose in.

Step 2. When it's your turn, "Call" ONE hero in the comments.

(Anybody from all of literature, but you can't have somebody who is already picked!)

Who will you pick? Tracy gets to start. Tracy, leave your hero's name in the comments. Then Thea gets to go. And so on. After this round, everybody will have five heroes, and draft round 6 will start at Kristie(J) & Katie(babs)'s. At the end of 7 drafts, everybody will have a group of 7 heroes to bring. Yes, trades are permitted. And if you missed last night's trade between CarolynJean and Lisabea... you've got some gossip to catch up on!

Don't worry about obsessively monitoring this thing. If you don't call your hero in 24 hours, 1 hour we'll skip you. LOL Just kidding. Maybe two hours. Or three. ;)

RULES:

• No picking out of order. Once the woman above you has chosen, it's your turn.

• Trades are permitted, but be clear about announcing the results in the comments or email so your host doesn't have to play sleuth.

• If it's your turn and we don't hear from you for 24 hours a few hours, sorry, you're skipped. But you can email your host ahead of time with your pick. Or comment as soon as you come back and your pick will be entered.

• Latecomers: SORRY, we wish everybody could play, but there has now been a moratorium placed on add-ons, due to the record-keeping nightmare this will soon become.

ROUND 1: (now over) Hosted at CarolynJean's.

ROUND 2: (now over) Hosted at Sarai's

ROUND 3: (now over) Hosted at lisabea's.

ROUND 4: (now over) Hosted at MaryKate's.

ROUND 5: (now over) Hosted at Christine's.

ROUND 6: Hosted at Katie(babs) & Kristie(J)'s.

*Kate stumbles out of her hut barely able to walk from all the sexin the night before*

And remember Kristie and I have the power to delete your picks if you steal our men because you are on our turf!

*Chugs some rum and hands a 6 pack to Kristie*

So ready.... steady... go... Let's get ready to island rumble!!

~**~**~**~**

And as an extra special bonus - Lisabea has been talking with the authors of some our DIK heroes and asked them to weigh in with their choices. And not only that!!! She has books to give away!!!
