Femslash week in review: 2019-04-09 - 2019-04-15

High-level stats for week of 2019-04-09 - 2019-04-15

• Total works categorized F/F on AO3: 3799 (-219 from last week)


• Works I classified F/F: 2347 (-121 from last week) (1041 new, 1306 continued)


• 0.92% of all 254469 AO3 works I've classified F/F were updated this week

A few callouts this week:

• I have bad news, which is that I have no interesting stats info for you this week because I spent all of my fanfic time trying to figure out how to solve the revealed exchange bug. And I have even more bad news, which is that the best solution I came up with is kind of hard, and is going to take awhile to get setup, so expect some more boring weeks in the near future.
  
• All that said, I'm pleased with the solution, which is that I'm planning to start scraping AO3's list of collections looking for challenges which have works revealed on a particular week. For various reasons related to how searches work and how collections are classified and stuff, this is going to be fairly annoying to get working, but it has a major advantage over looking for free-floating works I've missed, namely that when I do lookup new works, they'll be grouped by collection, so I'll be able to report that thus-and-so exchange revealed this week and had X many femslash works and whatnot. Which I think people will like.
  
• With that, over and out for now. Wish me luck.
