Meta Roundup

So. Some of you might remember that the roundups featured way more LJ-related posts in the early days of this community ("early days" meaning, for instance, September). People were starting afresh, but many were still attached to LJ, or using their IJs for cross-posting only. It's understandable -- quite a lot of us have been on LJ for years, or the majority of our friendslists didn't make the move, so it can be difficult.

But up until the SUP deal, the amount of LJ-related posting activity went down. I got the feeling that people were busy making themselves at home on IJ, thus not thinking as much about LJ than before, and more and more often, I saw posts where users either couldn't bring themselves to care, or were downright fed up with the topic. They seem to have moved on. As an example, I'd like to point you to this post by tigresslilly, which imho explains the feelings behind this very well.

And so I'd like to know whether you, the meta_roundup readers, think posts about LJ should still be included in the future, and if so, in what form.

Poll #665 LJ Topics Poll
Open to: All, results viewable to: All

Should the roundups continue to include LJ/6A-related posts?

For what it's worth, I'm one of those users who feel they have moved on eventually... but I'm fine with whatever the majority votes for. :)

Would you be okay with more frequent updates, even if it meant that some issues will only have one or two links? Or do you prefer waiting a bit for "meatier" issues?

Poll #355 Roundup Preference Poll
Open to: All, results viewable to: All

I like updates to be posted...

(For clarification: "less frequently" means "the way it is now", not "less frequently than now".)

At the moment I'm preparing my 'backlog' issue, which will get posted either tomorrow or on Monday, so a possible change would effect everything after roundup #10.

About time I put the paid account status to use, isn't it? ♥

I'd love to know what fandoms people are in, here on InsaneJournal. My plan is to create some nice, colorful pie charts when I have enough data, and perhaps a "Top Ten" of sorts and how it changes over time. Please, tell your friendslist about this, and then tell your friends to tell their friends -- I'd really like to reach as many fannish InsaneJournalers as possible!

Attention:

1. Do NOT use abbreviations. For example, write "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" instead of BtVS. There will be fandoms I'm not familiar with, and some abbreviations might be very similar. Writing out the names prevents confusion.

2. Do NOT take the poll with several accounts, for it would skew the results. One person, one account.

3. Because this is supposed to give just a general overview, please don't go too much into details (meaning, subcategories, pairings, or "branches" of a particular fandom). For example, X-Men movieverse and comicsverse both should be labeled as "X-Men", or bandom RPF and actor RPF both get filed under "RPF". (We might get to the details at a later point, with different polls.)

4. When in doubt, add some additional information.


Argh, I forgot something / made a mistake! -- No worries. Click on the poll link (with the poll number), then on "Fill out poll", and you can change your answers. Don't forget to tell me, though, or else the data sheet will still contain your old answers.

I'm not sure I'm part of fandom. -- Well, personally, I've always considered lurkers and readers to be a part of fandom. You don't have to produce vids, art, fic etc. to take this poll. If you squee about the canon, discuss it with others, or just love reading fic for it, you're a fan in my eyes.
On the other hand, if there's a show/movie/whatever you love, but go "Meh, I don't feel fannish about them", you don't have to list them. Your choice. ;)

Why didn't you just offer ticky boxes? -- Because I'd inevitably forget several fandoms and feel bad and guilty about it.

I've got another question! -- Leave a comment, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. :)
