drakyndra: The Music Meister demands you sing! (Facepalm)

I don't know why I do these things, really.

I just spent an entire hour counting how many fics had been posted to [livejournal.com profile] time_and_chips at certain times, in order to prove that no, there wasn't a slump in the amount of fics posted post-Doomsday.

God, I am sad.

ETA: No, Drakyndra has no graphs. Drakyndra needs no graphs!

ETA2: ...But that doesn't stop her from thanking [livejournal.com profile] seti_drd for her sterling efforts. Their resemblance or lack thereof to a crudely drawn cock is entirely up to the viewer. Or you could just ask [livejournal.com profile] tencrush.

Not without a graph... let's see if I can sleep tonight, if not I might put something together in Excel. Do you have the number of fics?

[identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com 2006-08-02 03:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I have a note book with number of fic posts for all dates between 1st-7th April, 1st-7th May, 1st-7th June, and from the 8th July after Doomsday aired until the 1st August.

Some posts had more than one fic, too.

Then a graph should be done in no time... *glances at you*

Some posts had more than one fic, too.

This fandom is scaring me...

Must. Resist. Urge. To. Make. Graph.

I just need the numbers and it's done in 5 minutes ^^

There are initial findings inna clicky linky thing at the top, if you can be bothered to distill them. But not enough to make a decent graph with, and certainly not one that will resemble a crudely drawn cock.

[identity profile] dune-drd.livejournal.com 2006-08-02 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Pity. But I doubt there would be enough data to verify that cock graph *g*
Are there somewhere the fic-postings per day? In a list? I see it coming that I count them myself

[identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com 2006-08-02 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
The multi-fic posts were generally people linking to fics they had up already on other sites, like The Teaspoon or The Pit.

And I is too lazy to type up all the numbers again. Woe.

It's not as if I had something better to do...

[identity profile] dune-drd.livejournal.com 2006-08-02 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Woe, it's not as exponential as I thought it would be... damn you, science!

Maybe I did something wrong, who knows. Shows quite well that we're slowly coming back to the normal, linear growth of fic, though

[identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com 2006-08-02 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
That's only a one episode comparison. You need time periods around other episodes to see how typical this pattern is.

too much work... and the explosion after the 8th is proof enough for me

[identity profile] dune-drd.livejournal.com 2006-08-02 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Improved it some more so we get the angry Girl in the Fireplace Peak, too. Fandom is beautifully predictable ^^

[identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com 2006-08-02 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
You gotta love it. The three big peaks: Post GitF (opposing ship), post The Impossible Planet (mortgage conversation, the helmet kiss, and the didn't Rose's departure get announced at about this time?), and of course the finale.

[identity profile] dune-drd.livejournal.com 2006-08-03 08:10 am (UTC)(link)
You mean that one on the 12.6.? Technically that doesn't count, it was the deadline for a ficathon

[identity profile] drakyndra.livejournal.com 2006-08-03 11:39 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I had forgotten about that! Stupid extra variables...

[identity profile] dune-drd.livejournal.com 2006-08-03 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
We're lacking a betaing-shift on the other hand, I had expected the peaks to appear a lot later than the airing dates...

I think that would depend on the speed of the betaing....

;-p

I've always said you're mind-boggingly fast *hugs* :)

[personal profile] tencrush 2006-08-02 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahhh, but you did a sum of fics. You should have done a tally of new fics. Not added up. Or something that looks like a crudely drawn cock.

Am I repeating myself here? I don't remember.

I CANNOT DO CRUDE DRAWN COCKS WITH EXCEL

I swear this is what came out for me with the same data. See??

I TOLD YOU.

The wank is strong.

WHAHAHAHAH! I didn't see that before, but you're right!
