Femslash week in review: 2019-08-20 - 2019-08-26

High-level stats for week of 2019-08-20 - 2019-08-26

• Total works categorized F/F on AO3: 4217 (+9 from last week)


• Works I classified F/F: 2478 (-125 from last week) (1130 new, 1348 continued)


• 0.89% of all 276930 AO3 works I've classified F/F were updated this week

A few callouts this week:

• Once Upon a Time spent basically all of 2018 in the top 10, and seems to be falling off lately. This is probably evidence of a drop in the overall number of works in the fandom. It also shows up an interesting property of the underlying stats, which is that OUaT really only has one F/F ship: there are 20 times as many works in AO3 in the top ship as in the next biggest ship. While looking at the innards of the fandom, I noticed a bunch of long-running WIP crossover OUaT/Rizzoli & Isles works. I don't know either canon, but I thought that was interesting, and am passing along those links here and here.
  
• Things I will always rec when I see them: Nakia/Okoye backstory with any reference to their philosophical disagreements in canon
