Femslash week in review: 2019-05-21 - 2019-05-27

High-level stats for week of 2019-05-21 - 2019-05-27

• Total works categorized F/F on AO3: 3963 (+155 from last week)


• Works I classified F/F: 2457 (+102 from last week) (1132 new, 1325 continued)


• 0.94% of all 261396 AO3 works I've classified F/F were updated this week

A few callouts this week:

• A regular reader pointed out last week that ASoIaF is having the expected post-Game of Thrones-finale bounce. That's in week two now; let's keep an eye on it and see how long it stays on the list.
  
• Incidentally, I know everyone is talking about Gentleman Jack, and it has showed up in the long-form ratings for the past three weeks, but it seems like everyone is writing only the one ship, and it's not that big, so it's nowhere near the top 20. (This week it's at number 167.) The correlation between buzz and work count is sometimes a little weak.
