Femslash week in review: 2020-11-03 - 2020-11-09

High-level stats for week of 2020-11-03 - 2020-11-09

• Total works categorized F/F on AO3: 6023 (-822 from last week)


• Works I classified F/F: 3665 (-657 from last week) (1652 new, 2013 continued)


• 0.97% of all 376928 AO3 works I've classified F/F were updated this week

A few callouts this week:

• I'm going to make the U.S.-centric assumption that this week's work drop was due to people obsessively refreshing election results instead of posting fanfic. Anyway, it's the lowest tagged work count in a couple of months, though still very high relative to a year ago.
  
• Life Is Strange is in the top 10 for the first time in six months or so; looks like the cause is a jump in ship diversity rather than a jump in work count.
  
• Also in the "old standards heading for the exits" camp, Once Upon a Time, which missed the top 20 during only 11 weeks between 2012-2019 inclusive, is back this week, but has been off the chart for half of the past 12 weeks.
