Femslash week in review: 2025-09-16 - 2025-09-22

High-level stats for week of 2025-09-16 - 2025-09-22

• Total works categorized F/F on AO3: 10120 (+208 from last week)


• Works I classified F/F: 5824 (+193 from last week) (2555 new, 3269 continued)


• 0.62% of all 936459 AO3 works I've classified F/F were updated this week

A few callouts this week:

• Once Upon a Time returns after a few weeks away, Murder Drones returns after a month away, and Dragon Age: Inquisition returns for the first time since 2018, for reasons that aren't entirely clear to me (maybe something to do with Veilguard, maybe not). If you know, let me know!
  
• Those three replace The 100, Alien Stage (which falls off after a 12-week streak), and Boku no Hero Academia (which falls off after a 61-week streak, of its 371 lifetime weeks on the chart).
  
• Supergirl reaches 10 consecutive chart weeks in its latest run. Yellowjackets is at 60.
  
• I for one am grateful to the AO3 team for the upgrade which required last Friday's downtime: they've made some improvements to collection browsing which should make it easier for me to report on upcoming and recent exchanges with F/F themes or works. Nothing specific to report this week, but the big improvement as far as I'm concerned is that it's now much easier to find exchanges that happen to be subcollections of another exchange.
