I could use a hand. Does anyone have any links to discussions that aren't friendslocked that took place in their own journals, discussions that they wouldn't mind me looking into for a coursework project? I have permission to use one already, but I need comparable data. If there's wank involved, all the better...

Any links would be most appreciated.

What sort of discussions?

[villainny.livejournal.com]

Any at all. The one I have already is a discussion of British vs. American slang in Harry Potter fanfic. Basically I want reasonably large discussions with a large number of participants.

[ygrane.livejournal.com]

Ah. There's none of that in my journal. Sorry.

Best of luck.

Merci poogoop, lovely lady. *g*

Does it matter what the conversations are about? If they're silly or serious?

[villainny.livejournal.com]

Nope. I'd prefer ones with over 50 comments though, so that there's threading. If there's miscommunication of some sort, all the better.

[gaiamyles.livejournal.com]

Ok! Here's two comment threads from the same entry - they involve the same three people, but about different things.

If those don't help, I'll keep looking!

*laughs*

Man, you people are odd. I'll definitely look at them in more detail later, and might filch a couple of examples from them. Thankee!

[gaiamyles.livejournal.com]

You have no idea. The sad thing is, those are two of our more serious conversations.

I do hope our oddness might help you out!

_inbetween_ is always good for weird discussions; here is one:

This is a real, honest, threaded political discussion with people from disparate groups among my flist:

And this is politics rapidly thread-drifting to pop tarts, disparate groups again:

I hope one of them comes in handy.-

[villainny.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much! The second one looks definitely useful, nice length so lots to talk about. I really appreciate it. *g*

[yakalskovich]

Good! I'm glad to help. And let me recommend the pop-tart thread as an example of classic thread drift.

[delirieuse.livejournal.com]

Is this OK?

I have other longish comment threads, but most are 20-40, not so many above 50.

Oh, and the companion piece here:
http://www.livejournal.com/users/delirieuse/245734.html
Which I think is only 30 comments or something, but does have some heated debate.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

Genius, thank you!

*hugs*

ASK SAM.

[friede.livejournal.com]

wrong sort of wank, I think.

and not 50+ comment-dealies.
