lj stats question

[marguerite_26]

I updated my Merlin rec lists today and I was going into LJ my stats thingy looking to see if more people clicked the 'Modern AU' or the 'Canon Era' rec list - because, you know, curious and I noticed the RSS tab.

Can anyone tell me what those numbers mean? I know what an RSS is, I'm just curious if the numbers that lj is showing is accumulative or new followers? Not that it is exactly high numbers we are talking about. LOL. But I'm curious how exactly to read a number from one day to the next?


Oh, and if you are interested: Today (so far) more people checking out the Modern AU recs than the Canon recs (despite the fact that the canon rec list appeared first in the list when I posted them).

*jumping in here too* :)
For me it's like this: in HP I'm fascinated with the world. I love it to pieces and without the magical world Harry Potter wouldn't be Harry Potter, it just doesn't work.

But with Merlin it's different. What hooks me are the Arthur/Merlin interactions, that's the most important thing. Tbh, a lot of the canon in that series isn't very logical and many characterizations aren't all that consistent. I'm still watching for the banter and the slashiness and the feel-good feeling the series gives me. But that works just as well (and for me personally even better) in a modern AU, where Arthur isn't destined to marry Gwen and be betrayed and killed.

LOL - yeah - there is that. :)

Hmm. With HP, although I'm fascinated with the world, it's the interactions (H/D mainly) that hooks me.

I wonder if one problem with Merlin, for me, is that I've read and watched every Merlin-related thing EVER (The Once and Future King, Excalibur, etc) so the current series is not really what I think of as canon.

But your point about the Gwen problem is a very good one. My attitude to her tends to be "LA LA LA! NOT LISTENING!" :-)
