in_the_blueHappy National Physics Day. To celebrate (ha), I'm listening to The Physics of Superheroes. It's pretty fantastic. (And it just ended, it was a lot of fun, so if you've got 47 minutes to spare, I highly recommend it.)
Yesterday was 80 degrees and perfectly sunny. Today is 55 and overcast. Welcome to Oregon.
I've been watching that AO3 meme going around, you know, the one where you post links to your ten stories with the most hits. I figure this is a skewed meme, because most of the stories I've had there for longest make my top ten.
Of my top ten, Baccano! tops the list with four stories, including the top two. There are also two Gaiman-verse stories up there, one for Neverwhere and one for Graveyard Book. Rounding off the top ten, I've got one Battlestar Galactica story, one for Y: The Last Man, one for LOST, and one for Last of the Mohicans.
Out of those ten stories, seven are Yuletide stories. The Yuletide stories, in addition to having higher hit counts, also have more comments and kudos than any others. This is unsurprising. The Battlestar story with the high hit count (coming in at #5) has zero comments. So while 325 people have surfed by, no one has felt it worth leaving a note but to be fair, this was first posted on LJ and has several comments there. The LOST story also has zero comments. This leads me to believe that people on the AO3 a) participate more around Yuletide; b) like fluffy feel-good stories; c) find it incredibly difficult to leave a comment when it's not expected (or maybe not expected to be reciprocated).
Nothing new there. And I'm still a big fan of the AO3, for the record.
I've been markedly quiet lately. I don't want to be one of those people who shows up here only once in a blue moon, barfs out all the stuff, and expects everyone to drop what they're doing and comment to it. I've had a lot on my mind, and my way of dealing with that is to do a frakton of internal processing until I get it all figured out. And then probably never talk about it, because by then I'm bored with it. So it goes! Regardless, today's a haircut day which is always a good thing.
Until then, I'm going to try to write something for Nightcrawler. Just a little change of pace. (By the way, Marvel wiki, there is no such word as "teleportating." Just saying.)
