Femslash week in review: 2021-12-21 - 2021-12-27

High-level stats for week of 2021-12-21 - 2021-12-27

• Total works categorized F/F on AO3: 7636 (+1334 from last week)


• Works I classified F/F: 4741 (+978 from last week) (2645 new, 2096 continued)


• 0.96% of all 494009 AO3 works I've classified F/F were updated this week

A few callouts this week:

• A good week for MCU, which hits the top five for the first time since 2019 on the strength of Kate Bishop/Yelena Belova, a ship which did not exist until August and has become the dominant MCU F/F ship within the past 3 weeks.
  
• Only minor changes otherwise: the top three hasn't moved in five weeks. Doctor Who is back after a week off, and Legends of Tomorrow is back for the first time since March, but that's probably a reporting artifact (i.e. we've probably seen those ships under "Arrow" or some other fandom name more recently).
  
• I promised some Yuletide F/F recs, so here are a few at least:
  • Fen/Pat from K.J. Charles's England series, tackling a new mystery
  • Ellie/Aster from The Half of It, exchanging letters
  • Lorraine/Delphine from Atomic Blonde, in a Trabant
  • Miryem/Wanda from Spinning Silver, post-canon
