writing, density, readability and the readers

Something sparked my interest yesterday in [livejournal.com profile] rm's My Scars - My Strange Cities post for LJ Idol. I have an idea for an experiment in interpretations and I need volunteers!

Here is the plan:
- I would ask you to read some LJ entries from a couple different journals.
- Then I will ask you to rate these entries in terms of the density of the prose and the readability of the prose on a scale from one to five.
- If you have any comments about why you choose the score, I would love to have them.

If you are interested, I will send you an email with links to the entries. If you have time to do this over the course of your weekend, say by Tuesday morning? I would be very grateful for your help! Please comment in the poll below, as your information will not be visible to anyone but me.
