Femslash February Retrospective ft. misuse of statistics
I wrote 29 things, and last night used Flamebyrd's stats download bookmarklet to download the stats for my 2019 stories as .csv, then deleted the non-Femslash February rows. After that, I did some rudimentary statsing. Have some results! (Disclaimer: my degree is in physics, not statistics, and this is all just for fun. No claims of accuracy are made.)
( fun with LibreOffice Calc )
In conclusion: MDZS and CQL fandoms are larger and thus give more hits and kudos. If you write in a fandom no-one has heard about, no-one will click on it. People like porn. Everything I wrote tagged with Femslash February 2020.
And for perspective, early in March I posted Caught Red-Handed (T, CQL, Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian), which is comparable to the Femslash February fics in scope. It has 1015 hits, 164 kudos, 5 comment threads, 27 bookmarks, and 7 subscriptions.
