I'm Not So Gay About This Agenda

I'm most likely not doing a video game post this week, unless I think of something while I'm at work. I've been known (well, known by myself, anyway) to plan out posts pretty much word for word while working, although of course they don't come out exactly the same when I actually write them. The Mushroom Guru posts were fun, but I've largely run

I think that the lack of response has only a little to do with where you are posting. LiveJournal, being a forum of bloggers, is populated pretty exclusively by people who believe (true or not) that they are "writers" of some sort. Commenting on another's post is, to them (and me too, I suppose), like Aretha Franklin singing back-up for Miley Cyrus ("I'll stoop to it as a unique, magnanimous gesture, but don't forget who the real star is here").

I can see that, although wouldn't someone who likes showing off their writing also want to comment a fair amount? I generally do.

Unless you are looking for a "You're awesome" comment, the posts that get the most commentary are your memes and questionnaires.

I don't know about that. I don't have any statistics, but it seems like I generally get more responses when I ask for advice or address an issue (like in this post, for instance).

Maybe you should actively invite participation with your Mushroom Guru posts (video games being, after all, an interactive medium).

Actually, if you look at the next to last sentence in this post, I did.
