High-level stats for week of 2023-08-22 - 2023-08-28

• Total works categorized F/F on AO3: 7836 (+1766 from last week)


• Works I classified F/F: 4560 (+1060 from last week) (3074 new, 1486 continued)


• 0.67% of all 683248 AO3 works I've classified F/F were updated this week

A few callouts this week:

• Whew. We're back! Getting the stats working again after AO3's anti-DDoS changes took a bit longer than I hoped, but here we are. I'm not going to post the missing 7 weeks, because the data is lower quality (the jump in total work count from last week to this week is a data artifact; it's not real), but I'll try to catch us up on interesting callouts, and things should be back to normal with next week's post.
  
• Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! had a great couple of months, and spent a few weeks in the top 5, getting as high as rank 2.
  
• The Barbie movie charted for two weeks at the end of July, reaching a top rank of 11.
  
• Touhou Project spent a week on the chart at rank 14 with a variety of ships.
  
• Pitch Perfect popped up at rank 16 in mid-August, probably for Bechloe Week 2023.
  
• Fictional horror movie Zepotha charted for a week at rank 17.
  
• Supergirl, the unstoppable number one F/F fandom back in 2017 when I started doing these stats, celebrated 400 consecutive chart weeks.
