GOTV: Horrible Fanon Childhood Showdown.

[dira]

Polls will be open for a couple more hours, but I just want to encourage people to vote in both the Winners' Bracket Poll and the Losers' Bracket Poll because there is a tie at the moment and I don't want to deal with a run-off, okay? Okay.


Unrelatedly, you know how--I don't know if this actually happens, or if it is strictly a thing that happens to people on TV, but I am in fandom and TV is where my ideas about the emotional lives of other people come from--but you know how sometimes women get stressed and then get radical new haircuts?

Yeah, I bit off all my nails two days ago and now I am thinking of changing my default icon.

I spent about two months straight changing my LJ layout almost daily. They were very stressful months.

I bit the bullet and changed it. :) I changed my DW layout ... last night? Night before? Possibly the same night I bit off all my nails, actually. So yes.

I totally get that. One of the several factors in my decision to go vegetarian was that I was stressed out but I couldn't cut all my hair off because I was in a play. I wish I was making that up, but I'm totally not.

[dira]

Hey, whatever works, right? At least it was vegetarianism and not heroin. :)

You know how there are grammar guides that use fannish examples?

I want a guide that uses fannish examples of good and bad poll design, and of deriving statistics therefrom.

(Also, new and improved Parker icon!)

[dira]

Fannish examples make EVERYTHING better. Although if Nate Silver decided to explain polls using fannish woobies he might be in actual danger from the stampede of fangirls in love. :)

(Yay new icon! Parker's manpain is now bigger AND more legible than mine! *g*)
