Femslash week in review: 2019-04-16 - 2019-04-22

High-level stats for week of 2019-04-16 - 2019-04-22

• Total works categorized F/F on AO3: 4068 (+269 from last week)


• Works I classified F/F: 2581 (+234 from last week) (1271 new, 1310 continued)


• 1.01% of all 255740 AO3 works I've classified F/F were updated this week

A few callouts this week:

• Well, that's exciting. Supergirl is out of the top spot this week, for the first time since 20180924 (it was overtaken by MCU then too). MCU just seems to have twice as many works this week as it did last week, with no particular pattern: 35 ships appear in works this week and not last week, but 25 ships appeared in works last week and don't appear this week (i.e. ship turnover in MCU is probably high most weeks). The biggest gains are in Wanda/Natasha, Peggy/Angie, Carol/Maria, and Maria Hill/Natasha... but those ships were big last week too, it's not like they appeared out of nowhere. If I had to attribute the entire change to one character, it would be Natasha, but really I think this is all just Endgame madness.
  
• Speaking of madness, I don't watch GOT and only read in it very sporadically, but I gather Sunday is Canon Divergence Day for everyone's pet theories, so I thought in advance of that I'd rec an Arya/Daenerys season 8 fic that sounds like a good plot to me.
