AstroNerdBoy (Clannad) Nagisa Love!
Nagisa is such good stuff, I couldn’t resist sharing some wallpapers of her. Not sure where I found all these since I just absently save images I like. As such, I’m sure that some or all of these may be old hat to you, but just maybe, there were some new ones you haven’t seen yet.
You guys didn’t mind, did ya? ^_~

I don’t mind. I love Nagisa.
She is a sweetheart. ^_^
The cynic in me sometimes thinks you’d survive in the rankings even without scheduling two posts on the clock every day, if you don’t always have time to write… I appreciate all the Negima spoilers I can get here, but when I notice the times on these other posts, it feels a little calculated and takes away from the naturalness of this blog. Just my $0.02.
Everyone loves Nagisa right? right?
“when I notice the times on these other posts, it feels a little calculated and takes away from the naturalness of this blog. Just my $0.02.”
Does this mean you don’t like it when ANB posts images to get 2-a-days?
@Kairu — Sure they do. ^_^
@Anon — I don’t know about rankings, but by writing several days ahead, those posts can then publish daily and folks who come by daily to read my dribble can do so. The times were picked for a morning and evening time.
Even back when I was publishing only once a day, it was still on a scheduled time (6pm). I’ve been doing that for some time. What I say won’t change because of the time stamp. I could randomize it a bit to make the times come off a bit different. I’m not sure how many people pay attention to the times of my posts unless they are regular readers who know that over the last several months, I post once at 11:00ET and 20:00ET.
As to the image posts, I admit that they are simple things to get two posts a day but I also know there are people who like collecting images and I like to share the love as it were. ^_^

I’m always happy to see more pics if they’re from a show I’m interested in, but the idea that sometimes ANB is posting them just to get a certain number of posts in at specific times bothers me a little. It’s sort of like scheduling love, you know. Most bloggers I read seem to post right when they feel like sharing the love, so it feels spontaneous and when there’s no pattern to notice, you don’t start thinking about the reasons behind it.

I am a pretty regular reader because of your Negima spoilers, but I doubt I’d have noticed the times on your other posts if they weren’t always :00. Then I noticed it’s almost always the same hour and started thinking about why. It’s true that the post content is still the same no matter what the time on it is, so then why not just post when you write stuff, you know. I’m not trying to tell you how to run your blog, only that you posting this way has made the blog feel a bit calculated to me now that I’ve noticed your pattern. Fortunately you at least post the Negima spoilers as you get them, I’d hate to wait for those on the schedule.
If I just posted when I wrote, then there would be days and even a week of no activity on the blog. No activity equates to a falloff in readership in my mind and though I’ve come quite a long way in the last 2.25 years of blogging, the blog can still grow stronger. I feel that this can only be achieved by having at least one post per day, more if I can. ^_^;
With the Negima spoilers, it is different. That is a very simple post to make. I already have everything ready save for the actual images so that when I see them on 2ch, I can archive them and upload them here. Since I know there is a massive, world-wide hunger for those spoiler images, I post them as soon as I can. Got to share the love you know. ^_~ For everything else I do, there isn’t the same kind of a demand, thus I can post whenever (within reason of course).
Still, I do appreciate your thoughts on the matter. To be honest, it isn’t that hard for me have everything scheduled and yet make it seem like I’m writing at 3:34pm one day and 4:49pm on the next day.
*lol* I never knew you cared so much about your e-peen, Astro.
Just kidding, but honestly who gives a rat’s ass if some impatient kids drop off. Those of us who can appreciate your insights will keep coming back even if there’s a break sometimes. And even if everyone else stopped coming, you’d be set for however long Negima keeps running if you keep posting spoilers. Keep up the good work!
I’m always interested to hear what others think. Sometimes one scores great ideas that way. ^_^
Ehehe, well, of course no one will mind. I love CLANNAD, but most of all Nagisa.
Glad to hear that. ^_^
