HELP.

[permetaform]

Okay, the fandom filters I have?

Ain't cutting it. People I want to see and/or who post rarely are getting squished out.

Solution: I'm gonna try filtering by update frequency, 'cause it's not like my main fandom isn't LJ as a whole, by this point... ::crosses fingers:: hopefully this should help some...

[Poll #445066]
ps. "less often" = "in fits and spurts" = "randomly"

pps. upon thought, I predict that this poll will have a disporportionate number of people who answer that they post roughly once a day. I also hypothesize that these are the same people whose brains I've eaten. ;D (ps. total as of now is 112...wow, I can't believe ya'll actually *read* this thing...)

you need a "in fits and spurts" option -- i tend to go a week or three without, and then post half a dozen within a few days, and then go back to not-posting. heh.

[permetaform]

that'll count as less often, I think...::ponders:: I should add a note about that...

::glomps:: thank you for bringing this up!

[swtalmnd]

*changes answer to "less often"* *g*

WHERE IS THE OPTION FOR "WHENEVER I HAVE SOMETHING INTERESTING TO SAY"

[permetaform]

...once a day then!

[tiltingheartand]

Pshaw.

You never have anything interesting to say.

[darkeyedwolf.livejournal.com]

You were screaming a different tune last night, bitch.

[tiltingheartand]

I'm sorry, were you hallucinating again? Tragic, that.

[darkeyedwolf.livejournal.com]

Well, you and your mom look a lot alike. It's easy to see how I got confused.

[tiltingheartand]

True enough. At least my mom gets out, though, instead of hiding from the little green men in a broom closet. (Although I am proud of you for managing to get an actual person this time instead of that poor bookcase again.)

[valarltd.livejournal.com]

Usually once a day. I think the record is 6 posts in one day.
And the longest I've gone without updating is 6 days and that was in 2003.

[permetaform]

huh, was it a vacation? Or a busy season? Or a holiday? ::is curious now::

[valarltd.livejournal.com]

Media West Con. I left Wed and didn't get back until Tuesday. updated Tuesday night:
"Home alive.

Stupid LJ ate con report.
Will repost tomorrow.

Bed now."

[niqaeli]

I was going to say 1-2 times a week, but then I went and actually looked at my posting frequency, and it really is more like 1-2 times per two days. Every so often I just won't have anything to say, but yeah... I post pretty frequently. >.>;

[permetaform]

::wry grin:: aheh, yeah...and even when I think I'm only posting once a day, then I remember to qualify that with "in THIS journal"...

[luminosity]

Not only do I spam LJ, but I'm up at all hours!
:)

[permetaform]

::GLOMP:: omg! I haven't talked to you in ages if feels like! =D btw, I have tons of links regarding FCP and editing (and editing with FCP) from my class ::bounces:: AND I KNOW HOW TO USE PREMIERE BETTER NOW TOO! ROCK!! ::Waves the rum around::

[wildelamassu.livejournal.com]

wow, I can't believe ya'll actually *read* this thing...

XD I'd heard of this -before- I even got into fandom (before -it- got into Saiyuki, probably O.o). My non-LJ friend used to stalk it for PotC things.

whoa. wait. do you mean 'this' and 'it' as in 'this LJ' sorta 'this' and 'it'?? o.0

[wildelamassu.livejournal.com]

*cheshire grin* Dude, you're like Cheerios.

[permetaform]

...I'm bland but good for your health? ;D

[wildelamassu.livejournal.com]

I can just see the headline: "Slash proven to reduce LDL cholesterol" XD

[permetaform]

I'm like tuna! ::bounces:: XD

[wildelamassu.livejournal.com]

Gotta watch for that mercury content...

[nightengale.livejournal.com]

i answered as the most frequent option....

but i post /more/ frequently than that sometimes. especially when you count both my journals together. ^.^;;; spaaaaaaaaaam!!

[nightengale.livejournal.com]

um i just clicked on your "whose brains i've eaten" link because i thought it woudl be a link to a list of us...

but oyu went and ate my brain again.

and this time it said it was quite filling. last time you said it wasn't anything special.

my brain has been upgraded via multiple masticulations?

[permetaform]

::gigglefit and nibbles on your brain some more::

[nightengale.livejournal.com]

::squirming, like a good zombie victim ought:: mrrrr, that tingles. do that again. ^.~!!

[simonesa.livejournal.com]

Same for me. I fall somewhere in between the first two options. You are certainly more interesting to me than I could ever be for you. I won't be offended if you cut back on friending. I just hope you don't decide to friends lock your journal.

[permetaform]

::glomps:: youse is interesting!

and the only things I f-lock is whiny shit or stuff that'll ID me =)

[linaelyn.livejournal.com]

DUDE! I post, on average, FIVE OR SIX TIMES A DAY.

I try to stop posting when I hit ten entries in the same calendar day. Once in a while, I fail.

Unless I'm spending all day on an airplane or something like that, I NEVER MISS A DAY.

Hi. Addicted? Moi?

Go ahead and unfriend me, if that's best for you. I'll still always love you. :-)

[permetaform]

you??? NEVER. ::curls self around your feet::

[yukiru.livejournal.com]

I check my f-list obsessively, but don't post much.

[yukiru.livejournal.com]

Also, you've eaten my brain.

[teleute12.livejournal.com]

Same here. And seriously, dude, I never talk about fandom anyway so if you wanted to, like, leave me off all the filters I wouldn't blame you.

[vellum.livejournal.com]

fits in spurts.

[maymorning.livejournal.com]

I know I don't comment much 'cos not into fandom as much now. But, I do still read you. I mean, you ate my brains! Were they tasty? I'd guess mine would be sweet after all the jellybabies I eat!

[absolutedestiny.livejournal.com]

I kept meaning to ask you how the hell you deal with an flist so big. I guess the answer is "with great difficulty" :)

[permetaform]

::wry grin:: =) that and learning how to read/scan really really fast.

[toxictattoo.livejournal.com]

wow, I can't believe ya'll actually *read* this thing...

You are an interesting person! If you wrote the phonebook, people will read it!

Fortunately you don't. [laughs] And you are still an interesting person.

[penm.livejournal.com]

I post a lot about random, mostly useless and sometimes school-related things so if you'd like to unfriend me that's okay, because... I do tend to go on and on.

[guede-mazaka.livejournal.com]

Fortunately, I keep a spare brain in the closet.

I was answering for both deadguede and guede_mazaka. I post at least once to one of them per day.

[cathexys.livejournal.com]

i've started using a filter for the folks that very rarely ever post and really like it! i don't check it every day but catch their posts when they do update.

As for update frequency...i'm definitely a fits and spurts person and, since metafandom, post much less frequently, b/c my 'cool link that everyone needs to see' posts are gone...

[ranalore.livejournal.com]

I live to confound filters, since I go in cycles of posting three or four times a day for a week and then not posting at all for two weeks and then posting two or three times a day for three days and then not posting at all for four days and then--

Clearly, I have a Deep Phobia of being pigeonholed. Or possibly I'm just a manic lazyass. Whichever.

[permetaform]

XD you're 'less often' then...

[ranalore.livejournal.com]

Actually, looking at my own pattern, I appear to have been "less often" last year. Thus far this year, I am more in the category of "1 or 2 times per 2 days." Possibly this is just a fluke, and I will settle back into the old pattern, but it's also possible I've gotten chatty, so I marked the poll for how I'm currently doing things. Just to add to the confusion. *G*

[kanzenhanzai.livejournal.com]

Ha, sadly I had to look at my calendar to see how often I update . . . which I guess implies how often I update?
