Femslash week in review: 2022-07-19 - 2022-07-25

High-level stats for week of 2022-07-19 - 2022-07-25

• Total works categorized F/F on AO3: 7740 (+154 from last week)


• Works I classified F/F: 4716 (+61 from last week) (2243 new, 2473 continued)


• 0.85% of all 556580 AO3 works I've classified F/F were updated this week

A few callouts this week:

• The work count for Stranger Things goes up and up. It's still in first place, but what you don't see in the graph is that this week ST's rating is literally twice that of second-place fandom Genshin Impact.
  
• Meanwhile, Supergirl had a good week, and is back at rank 3 for the first time in awhile.
  
• The bottom of the chart is pretty noisy: Motherland: Fort Salem is back for the first time since February, Batman is back for the first time since May, and Legend of Korra, Grey's Anatomy, and First Kill are back after shorter absences.
  
• The most notable exits are Vampire Diaries (aka Legacies aka The Originals) and Boku no Hero Academia, both long-running chart fandoms which occasionally fall off the top 20, both not often. Critical Role, Miraculous Ladybug, and Virtual Streamer Animated Characters also exit the chart this week.
  
• In honor of Nichelle Nichols, I'll recommend this cute fic from a 2019 AU exchange, in which Uhura and T'Pring are aspiring science fiction authors.
