It's been about a year, so...

[active_apathy]

I kind of felt like doing this meme again, mostly because I went and had a look at the last time for no apparent reason.

Additionally, because I can't help myself when faced with a meme, the results table includes the change in ranking from the last time (with previous results adjusted for equal nth) and the number of comments posted since the 15th of January last year.

Note that this is a purely statistical exercise for fun - numbers of comments and positions on the table are for entertainment purposes only, and aren't at all for drama unless you actually don't love me anymore.

And there we have it. 16 people moved up one or more places, 7 didn't go anywhere, and there's 21 new entries on the table. 29 people (or, 28 people who still have a LiveJournal) didn't comment at all, and - unsurprisingly - no-one's comment count fell.

Comments

[ryttu3k.livejournal.com]

Yipe! Must pick up my game! XD

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

45 comments for the last year is probably more often than I actually posted entries still well ahead of most. :)

[ryttu3k.livejournal.com]

Yes, but still XD

[palmer-kun.livejournal.com]

I'm a comment whore!

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Mm, possibly. I think there may have been SotC stuff with you and maggiebloome, and probably some influence from Lexicon stuff. Which reminds me: Lexicon.

[shaysdays.livejournal.com]

I am consistent! Or something.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

You had, I think, gained a spot, until I realised you were equal seventeenth last time. So. You can have gained half a place, if that helps?

[mmaster.livejournal.com]

Could you tell me the link to the generator? Googling it just seems to turn up lots of people doing the meme, rather than where to find it in the first place. :P.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

I can indeed! You can find it here.

[mmaster.livejournal.com]

Danke! :)

[goblinpaladin.livejournal.com]

The icon says it all, really.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

...you're going to kill the Pope with inferior wine?

[goblinpaladin.livejournal.com]

It can't hurt to try.

[laurenmitchell.livejournal.com]

Curses. Clearly I must come up with some kind of gimmick to increase my commenting without being overt about it. The fact that comments are now editable makes this more difficult since I no longer need to post a second comment correcting any errant typos from the first comment.

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Mm, possibly. The easiest way, I think, is to say interesting things that I have no choice but to reply to, which makes for very long comment threads that may or may not resemble a series of letters and have recipes for pasta sauces.



Oh! Also, whatever became of the email-story-sharing-thingy?

[selenitia.livejournal.com]

I fell.

*pouts, then realizes she talks to you more on AIM then she does here*

*hugs*

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

You do! ...when I remember to have it running.

*return!hugs*

[leila82.livejournal.com]

Oh I feel guilty now - I've kind of sucked at commenting this past year, along with sucking at posting. New New Year's Resolution: comment more!

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Well, don't. Feel guilty, that is - I'm notoriously good at vanishing from LJ for months at a time, and it'd be kind of scary to see just how little I've been commenting in recent memory.

Or! *steals that resolution*

[packbat.livejournal.com]

Is it obligatory to comment on the comment-count list? It seems like it should be obligatory.

(Is there no news on the Lexicon front, or did I just miss it?)

[packbat.livejournal.com]

Aw, the comment-tracker is Windows-only! :(

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

It can be obligatory for you.

(There'll be news sometime soon. And probably another poll.)

[riverchild.livejournal.com]

Six. Six comments. Six comments in a year?! That's disgraceful. Excuse me while I go flagellate myself. *hangs head in shame*

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Hey! Keep that up, and I'll have to present you with clothes - especially since I think everyone on that list has commented more here than I have, um, anywhere. Is there enough disgrace to go around?

[laurenmitchell.livejournal.com]

Jasper sneezed and instantly regretted it as the flour up his nose blew out in a pasty string. He wiped his nose on his sleeve, which didn’t improve matters much, and poured the last scoop of flour through the sieve. The flour still tasted funny even after the weevils were removed, but it was a marked improvement over leaving them in. Besides, with any luck it wouldn’t have to last them much longer. The wind had been blowing fair, and land was ten days away if it continued. Jasper licked his lips at the thought of a proper cooked meal.

A sudden shockwave rocked the ship, throwing Jasper off balance. He put his hands out to catch himself and dropped the bucket of weevils, unfortunately straight back into the open sack of flour, undoing all his hard work. Cursing, he covered the sack over and hurried up to the deck.

The sky had turned a leaden grey while he was in the galley. The captain and her first mate were on the quarterdeck, conversing rapidly in low tones as the crew gathered around them. Captain Nora Talise rarely got distressed about anything, but she looked perturbed now, and even that was enough to make Jasper worry.

Another shockwave sent Jasper to his knees, and more than one of the crew yelled as they went sprawling.

‘Everyone remain calm!’ Captain Talise called out.

‘What’s going on?’ one of the other crewmembers – Jasper couldn’t see who – called back. ‘We’re in open water – what’s striking the ship so?’

The captain just shook her head. ‘Secure the cargo, and for the love of all that floats, mind you’re close to something solid you can grab if we get hit again. There’s a storm brewing, and if anyone goes overboard...’ She didn’t complete the sentence; the waves slapping relentlessly against the ship’s hull did it for her.
