Resolution 4: March through August 2008

[seperis]

This is a very belated fulfillnent of New Year's Resolution 4: Tracking feedback. Short version--Jesus Christ, I suck. I think I was fine until Due South, then just. Nevermind. It's that depressing.

So I haven't done my reading log statistics, because they are really sad and the feedback ratio is just horrible. I don't even have a good excuse. I haven't posted since February stats...Jesus. So.



March
Stories Read: 11
Authors: 10

Here you can see I bought the rest of the Bourne movies and then read the books.

April
Stories Read: 24
Authors: 23
Fandoms:
--Stargate:Atlantis
--The Bourne Trilogy
--Supernatural

Here I realized Yuletide was a very awesome archive.

May

Authors: 21
Fandoms:
--Stargate:Atlantis
--The Bourne Trilogy
--Anne of Green Gables
--Mairelon the Magician/Magican's Ward

Might notice around June-ish, got some DVDs. I renamed June 2008 to Cesperanza.

June
Stories Read: 61
Authors: 2
Fandoms:
--Stargate:Atlantis
--Due South
--The Sentinel

I don't even remember this month happening. But I do remember the fic. 484 of them were Due South.

July
Stories Read: 500
Authors: 132
Fandoms:
--Due South
--Supernatural
--The Sentinel
--Stargate:Atlantis
--Angel
--Dr. Who
--Firefly
--Homicide

This is when I created a tag for long stories and methodically went back to read every one of them.

August
Stories Read: 54
Authors: 27
Fandoms:
--Due South
--Stargate:Atlantis
--The Dark Knight
--Homicide
--Night Court
--Hard Core Logo

Sadly, this does not include a.) fic I started and ran away from b.) fic I just read the ending of for reasons we need never discuss c.) anything I got to put on my Wow, This is Awesomely Bad! List because that's a very special relationship between a reader and the fic she makes other people read so they will cry and d.) anything I read as a prereader or beta, because that is cheating.



I am totally going to graph this entire year come January by fandom. I almost feel anal enough to do it now, but I want to be surprised come next year.

(Question--does it count as feedback if you tell them you liked it at a con? Because that raises my statistics significantly.)

ETA: *facepalm* It was supposed to cut-tag.

I can't even do what you've done, I read and almost immediately forget I've read, I've even been surprised when someone responds to feedback I've left because I can't remember reading the damn fic and apparently I've got early-onset Alzheimer's or maybe Rodney's parasite. sigh

But I think it counts. Not for me, of course, but it counts. :-P

Personally, I try really, really hard to leave feedback for stories that knock my socks off (or at least make my feet tingle) and the author has a grand total of, you know, four comments or is a new writer or whatever. I try, anyway.

*pats del.icio.us* That, right there, is why I love firefox for that tag button. Instant memory.

*thoughtful* YOu know, I think I leave feedback almost exclusively for stories that are both good and the author is new, in hopes of bribing them for more. *G* Not always, but its a consideration.
