[jarrow]

Sorry for the multiple posts this morning, folks. This is the last you'll hear from us for awhile! ;-)

Thank you all again for your contributions. You have no idea how much fun this has been for us.

About numbers: I think ten people per fandom is way too much, personally. I really enjoyed reading these, but with ten takes on the same vid in a row, it gets old. Also, several times now I've adored something and wanted to leave a comment, but as the good stuff keeps rolling past, it starts seeming like more and more work to compliment everyone involved, so I just don't say anything. I'd enjoy it a lot more with only three or four people for each set of vids.

And, I guess I really just don't understand that first question. The only options are have more strangers, watch more vids, disqualify earlier viewers, or do rounds more often? Why the grow-or-die pressure? What's your rush? It's not like you have to have everyone on LJ do this ASAP. People who want to and don't get a chance in one round will be there eagerly waiting for the next. Like crack_van. It's a good thing.

About the serious vs. humorous thing, I couldn't really fit my response into the poll questions again, so: in the original presentation of all this, I thought it was supposed to be a sort of "for science" attempt to see how much you could learn about a strange fandom from its vids. I hadn't even really realized non-mod people would be reading the results, let alone comparing them. Then after we'd submitted everything, y'all posted saying "People are going to be really funny! Come tell them who your favorites are!" Encouraging people to view it as a funny performance thing. Okay, oops, my mistake. (Actually I'm glad I didn't know, because I wouldn't have been any funnier, but I'd have been stressed out about it! Well, I wouldn't have had the nerve to sign up at all.)

So, I think you're going to find it naturally drifts in the humour direction, because it's the funny ones that get feedback. Nobody's posting all "Wow, I'm amazed how much you people all picked up about the dynamic between X and Y!"

Not that I have any problem with that. I love reading the funny stuff.

Agreed. I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing...
