Femslash week in review: 2023-11-21 - 2023-11-27

High-level stats for week of 2023-11-21 - 2023-11-27

• Total works categorized F/F on AO3: 7416 (+72 from last week)


• Works I classified F/F: 4276 (+33 from last week) (1924 new, 2352 continued)


• 0.6% of all 710752 AO3 works I've classified F/F were updated this week

A few callouts this week:

• Web series The Amazing Digital Circus continues to slowly climb. On the third week of its inaugural chart run, it reaches a best-ever rank of 13.
  
• Doctor Who and Game of Thrones are back this week. They replace The 100 and Honkai Impact 3rd.
  
• Two long-time occasional chart fandoms hit the milestone of 10 consecutive chart weeks. Star Wars is having a good run thanks to ships from the Ahsoka series. Boku no Hero Academia is having a great run, and is at rank 12 this week, primarily thanks to the Himiko/Ochako and Kyouka/Momo ships. Neither of those ships is new, so presumably something in the story is driving the increase in fanfic. (I know some BNHA fans read these stats; if anyone has a handy explanation for what's happening that you wouldn't mind me printing next week, please let me know!)
  
• Finally, there are several exchanges to flag this week:
  • Sapphic Stocking Stuffers has signups open from now until December 20th, with fills open until December 31st.
  • The Rare Femslash Exchange is starting up its 2023/2024 run: signups will open on December 14th and close on December 28th, with assignment deadlines in February.
  • Femslashex is about to wrap for this year, but if you're reading this right now and want to help out a fan in need, there are still a couple of pinch hit requests open, with negotiable deadline December 7th
  • Finally, technically speaking, the Jane Austen Non-Canon Ship Prompt Meme isn't a femslash exchange, but some readers may be interested in nudging it in that direction. It's open for prompts and fills through December.
