[alchemi]

One of the things that separates livejournal from the facebooks and twitters of the world is the ability to write out long, complex posts that deal with nuance and substance and really deal with something in depth1But one of the hardest things sometimes is to put a lot of effort into a post and then ... nothing. Because deep down, we are all

Comments

So of course this meme will take a bit of thought so I'll have to do it later. But since it has the word meme AND is f-locked, I just wanted to check on the reposting rules... Is it ok to copy/paste this post? Is it ok to credit you for the idea?

I kinda like the walkup. Especially this part:

"But since I've been at livejournal there is this odd paradox - the more effort one puts into a post, the less likely it is to get comments."

Agreed. That was definitely the best part.

[alchemi]

Yes to all of the above. In fact, I'll make it public.

[lostincandyrain]

I think you should add a part where you talk about which comments you've left that you think are the best. I guess you could squeeze that into 8.

[reveritas]

There can be only one.

I like this meme!
So I should post this in my own LJ,correct?

[alchemi]

Go for it!
