letzanHigh-level stats for week of 2018-11-20 - 2018-11-26
- Total works categorized F/F on AO3: 3752 (+220 from last week)
- Works I classified F/F: 2384 (+140 from last week) (1196 new, 1188 continued)
- 1.04% of all 229551 AO3 works I've classified F/F were updated this week
A few callouts this week:
- If you're not paying attention to She-Ra, you're not paying attention (which I apparently wasn't last week, because I neglected to mention it). Two weeks ago it wasn't on the charts at all, this week it's #10 with 118 updated works. If you're looking for a very new, very large bandwagon to jump onto, there you go.
- Also American Horror Story is in the top 20, not for the first time ever, but for the first time since 2015, so that's something.
- Sorry I'm not reccing more things this week --- I didn't have time to do much reading. But here's some backstory/headcanon from a couple of ships I rec often: Okoye/Nakia, Leia/Holdo
- I don't have a plan for this whole Tumblr content business. I don't think the stats will be affected by the change, so I expect I'll keep posting them here, and if people move somewhere else and I can figure out how to use the somewhere else, I'll crosspost. We'll see what happens. Sorry to everyone whose blogs are directly affected, for what little that's worth.

What is all this again?
Mission statement: help out people (including myself) who read fic on AO3 and wish they were reading more femslash, but don't know what's out there. Plan: do a week-in-review post every week which contains general stats about new fic and a few recs.
I am starting with the list of all works on ao3.org which were updated within a given week, and which were categorized as F/F, but I am not reporting stats on 100% of those works --- I'm narrowing down to a subset of fandoms and works for which it's tractable for me to actually look at all the character tags, and then I'm excluding ships containing what I believe to be cis-male characters. I'll give overall stats about how many works I've reported on and how many I've excluded. If you think I'm excluding a fandom you care about, please let me know!
More info about column headers:
- Fandom (and top three ships): If multiple tags that seem to correspond to the same fandom (e.g. "The 100 (TV)" and "The 100 Series - Kass Morgan") show up in my ranking, I report the one with the best rating. There's totally a judgment call here about what things are "the same fandom" --- I'm going to err on the side of reporting more different things when I can, but I won't skip something with a lot of works which aren't otherwise accounted for. When measuring the top three F/F ships in a fandom, I count both "A/B" and "A & B" as "A,B". Ties are broken by including all of the ships, but I only include a maximum of five ships per fandom to keep the table length reasonable.
- Rating for week: I like fandoms with ensemble casts, so I'm doing a weighted sum based on the logarithm of number of works by pairing, so that fandoms with several different F/F pairings get a significant bonus.
- F/F/ works updated this week: includes both new and continued works.
- % of F/F works updated this week: This is the percentage of all F/F works I've ever categorized in the fandom, so a big number probably means a brand new fandom, or at least one which was unusually active this week.
- F/F:M/M ratio (all works): This ratio is taken from all works in the fandom tag, and is just a hint to readers about how F/F-dominant the fandom is. Obviously there's no reason you can't find great F/F works in a predominantly male fandom (we've all read those), but the ratio may give a hint about whether the F/F pairing is likely to be the dominant one in a work with multiple pairings. Note that the "F/F" and "M/M" numbers for this column are taken directly from AO3, not from my compiled character and ship stats. (Since I don't categorize M/M works, I couldn't do it any other way.)
Share and enjoy, and let me know what I can do to make this more useful.
