LJArchive word count

[vilakins]

Like shimere277, I ran the word count plug-in on LJArchive. Here are my top 10:

Word	Count
Vila	1324
Avon	677
Blake	287
Cally	262
Blake's	240
he'd	192
Jenna	182
Tarrant	172
hello	168
Dayna	161

I must say it shows up my obsessions. On average I mention Vila at least once in each post? I post a lot of fiction, but still, that's...worrying. He's mentioned almost twice as much as Avon, who is still way ahead of the others. Where did "he'd" and "hello" come from though? Vila uses "hello" (I prefer "hi") but why does it beat out poor Dayna? I also thought I'd written at least as much about Soolin as Dayna (I like the PGP pairing of her and Vila) but she's ranked 18th.

I don't understand the terms in the regressive imagery analysis plug-in, but apparently my big three are vision, soft, and order. I'm a very visual person, but I'm in the dark for the rest. What is Icarian imagery, for example: flight of the imagination with way wings? According to shimere277, it's all Freudian stuff which I despise, so I think just I'll ignore it.

LJ archive hasn't got a Mac version (not even for Mac X) so I can't try it. Pity, as I'm mildly curious what e-houses most frequent words would be. The regressive imagery analysis looks so biased (in a number of ways) that it would annoy me, I'm sure.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I'm ignoring the imagery analysis. It means little to me so I doubt I'll run it again.

I only got LJArchive so I could backup my LJ fic, but the search function's pretty good too. I certainly wouldn't bother just for word counts or the imagery stuff.

Hmm... why do the results don't surprise me. ^_~

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I have no idea. ;-)

Maybe it's counting your LJ name?

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

That would be a separate word, like Blake and Blake's. It's probably because I was posting at least one story a week till recently, and Vila was in a lot of them.

I'm puzzled as to why you're embarrassed. I'd say you mentioning Vila only twice as much as your next most-mentioned character was perfectly normal, since you write about him the most. He's your favorite, after all. Seems sane and logical to me. ;-)

I'm not embarrassed about Vila, just the extent of my B7 fannishness. :-P

[mistraltoes.livejournal.com]

Hah! Well, that's just silly. Most of your flist is B7 fans, what else are you gonna talk about?

I have cheerfully decided that whatever my LJ says about me, I don't wanna know...

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I still don't know!

[shimere277.livejournal.com]

Believe me, you have nothing to be ashamed of...my top three were
Avon 11,306
Blake 8506
Vila 1374

This is a total of 817 entries. And I've been on LJ for exactly a year today!

[kerr-avon.livejournal.com]

Felicitations on your anniversary.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Why, thank you! I'm sorry you're number two, but I'm sure you try harder.

That's quite understandable: your LJ is mainly fic! Mine is less than half; I'd have thought Greg or the cats might have featured.
