Unlucky Number 13 Ate Today's Post

Not really. I just couldn't find time to write it until this very moment. And then I abandoned its original content.I guess that's a kind of bad luck, right?

I was just reading Hero Press where Acrobatic Flea was counting his 10 most recurring subjects. I thought I'd have the same look at my top 13 keywords...

1. Star Trek: Well duh. To keep myself honest and posting, I decided on the very first day to review one Trek story each day. No surprise there.

2. Comics: Again, I was pretty sure this would come in second. Not only does this blog talk about comics a lot, I've been doing an extra 6 comics a week because I've run out of Star Trek episodes.

3. Geekly Roundup: A weekly feature since th first week, "This Week in Geek" is the closest I've come to a diary, and real useful for preventing myself from reading the same book twice.

4. Batman: My first surprise. I wouldn't consider myself a big Batman buff, like Chris Sims, but I do read the various Batman comics. I guess that's translated into more than 100 posts. He's pretty ubiquitous as a character. Of course, more than half of those come from those few weeks when I was stripping Mike Barr's Outsiders comics of their dignity, one page at a time.

5. Rom: Between Spaceknight Saturdays and various Rom Weeks, he's gotten above the hundred mark. I think my silver friend will be well documented by the time I reach the SBG's Year 4.

6. Doctor Who: With more than a 100 posts, my current favorite SF franchise has gotten a lot of play. I also feel like these are among my most intelligent essays. Well, more intelligent than making Outsiders-related crotch jokes.

7. RPGs: We drop just under 100 posts for this one, a category boosted in the past year by my joining the RPG Bloggers Network. I've tried to make the articles interesting for people who don't play role-playing games, and yet useful to those who do. It's a hard line to walk judging by reader comments.

8. Movies: I'd like to do more film analysis on the SBG, and sometimes think up article content while watching something, but then I usually find I don't have the time to go through a film again for the proper evidence and screencaps. Of course, I do a lot of mini-reviews of films in my Geekly Roundups that are NOT included in the count, but I should still try to expand on them.

9. Outsiders: A category that should slip further and further down the list as time goes by, since the comic got its moment in the sun for a couple months and never really again. Except I've had sporadic requests to bring back the feature, so... you never know!

10. Friday Night Fights: With more than 50 posts, it completes the top 10 despite the fact I haven't participated in that meme in a looooooong time. It seems to have morphed into Kung Fu Fridays, which isn't an online thing. I'm expecting a reasonable crowd for Police Story 2 even as I write these words.

11. Holidays: A holiday is a great cue to do something special on your blog. I guess I'm a sucker for it. In fact, this post is a Holiday post. Happy Friday the 13th!

12. Superman: Less than half as represented as his World's Finest Friend, the Man of Steel still makes a reasonable showing.

13. Websites: Just under 50 posts in the last three years, many of these from Geekly Roundups back when I was stumbling on neat sites once a week, but Internet matters still appear on the 13 list. I think there may also be "posts about posting" in there*, so watch yourself.

As for "most Googled" subject matter, it appears to be "Sexy sexy She-Hulk". More than half a dozen searches a day, in fact. I get it, I just don't approve of it.

*Like, uhm, this one.
