I’m mainly interested not in who best writes like lsusr, but in knowing which of the entries were intended as serious postings in their own right. I hope for all of them, but the goal might squeeze out other considerations.
Mu. My entry was originally intended to be worthwhile in-and-of-itself—and was based on an idea I’d had long before the challenge—but I realized halfway through writing it that the central conceit didn’t work the way I wanted. This would usually be the point where I either scrapped it or radically reworked it . . . but I’m fanatically pro-challenges-and-contests-on-LW and wanted to get something in before the deadline, so I forced myself to finish and then just hit submit without an editing pass.
My post was intended seriously (well, parts of it are obviously a joke) and I didn’t put much effort into making it sound like lsusr, as the rules explicitly said I could post anyway. Besides, since I am lsusr I don’t need to imitate myself.

The serious parts of my post are serious, anyway.
