Snurched from [livejournal.com profile] roboticonograph and Wordle.

This was a fun and mindless way to kill a bit of time after a pretty miserable day at work.

Since so many of my fics are short, I chose to do this on Command Decisions, my big beast. At 52K words, I thought it only fair. The result?



Go, team, go! This made me giggle a lot. I played around a bit, and found that depending on fandom, I say things like "Mal" and "Remus" and "Mac" a lot, but I'm especially fond of the ones that come out like this:

This can actually be a useful tool. I took something I wrote, copied it into a new doc, deleted the names of the main characters, and was able to see, wow, I use the verb "thought" and awful lot. Etc. Good to see where I've overused certain terms.

That's how I found it useful, too. I use "actually" a lot more than is probably reasonable.

Exactly. I need to do it that way, too. I know I tend to overuse references to eyes and glances and such, so...yeah. I was just playing around last night, but for real use, I need to delete main character names, etc.

Indeed. I need to do this in this way, as well. It's interesting to see what words one uses over and over.
