Femslash week in review: 2020-07-21 - 2020-07-27

High-level stats for week of 2020-07-21 - 2020-07-27

• Total works categorized F/F on AO3: 6846 (+491 from last week)


• Works I classified F/F: 4237 (+363 from last week) (2184 new, 2053 continued)


• 1.22% of all 347373 AO3 works I've classified F/F were updated this week

A few callouts this week:

• I noted a few weeks ago that Avatar: the Last Airbender has returned to the charts in a big way. This is of course because it's back on the air on Netflix. The fandom's first peak was in the very early days of AO3, so its earlier chart peaks don't mean much, e.g. the week of 2010-10-25, when A:tLA was at rank 2 with three F/F works. AO3 is so vastly much bigger than it was ten years ago that it's hard to conceptualize. And of course a second A:tLA resurgence will benefit in the rankings from cross-tagged Legend of Korra works. Anyway, that's all by way of saying that the current showing is pretty impressive; let's see where it goes from here.
