High-level stats for week of 2019-12-17 - 2019-12-23
- Total works categorized F/F on AO3: 4129 (+160 from last week)
- Works I classified F/F: 2432 (+90 from last week) (1241 new, 1191 continued)
- 0.82% of all 296547 AO3 works I've classified F/F were updated this week

A few callouts this week:
- Some Yuletide recs. Maybe more next week?
Something I notice while browsing a collection like Yuletide, which amounts to another Serious Stats Problem, is that one of the types of inconsistent tagging that happens on AO3 is that authors will classify a work as F/F, and list exactly two female characters as character tags, but won't list a ship tag at all. When I look for femslash ships, I do it using the ship tags not the character tags, because in a work with a lot of tags, that's much more likely to get me the right thing. But I wonder how many works I'm missing by not handling that case — it's definitely one I see often enough to notice when I'm browsing works by hand.
