You want to avoid Fridays/weekends. Late Sunday nights is good to hit the Monday morning crowd.
That's interesting to me. I've never really tracked feedback on that basis, but since I always have more time to read on the weekends, it didn't really occur to me that most people didn't.
As for SV, of which I am on the fringes, it's like any other fandom. I just think the sheer number of well-known writers from other fandoms, colliding with the sheer number of first-time media fans, makes for an uneasy coexistence, probably not helped all that much by the LJ phenomenon, where people can be whiny crybabies in public and find sympathy, instead of sucking up whatever slights (real or imagined) come their way and bitching privately, the way we did in the old days.
Yeah, you're probably right. I've been thinking lately about how blogs and journals have contributed to putting a lot of the social minutiae from RL onto the net. Previously, I felt like I was more directly connected to people's brains online. Now, there's a lot of the same info that you'd chat with your co-workers about: the weather, your lunch, your sprained ankle.
And it's not like there's anything wrong with that, but it's getting harder to separate signal and noise, at least for me.
