fics stats, no really

[salinea]

I've streamlined my tagging system over at la_mer_allee (and uploaded the oldest fics that weren't there yet, too), following onto schemingreader's discussion over there. It was probably overkill since I already have a masterlist but heh ^^

It made me want to do stats with my fics ^_^ (Obviously I'm a dork)


I've written a total of 75 fics (counting drabbles and wips because otherwise the number would be miserable and it would make me sad)

Per fandoms:
- TB/X : 38 (51%)
- HP : 24 (32%)
- ASOIAF : 4
- Utena : 3
- Avatar : 2
- Coldfire : 2
- BtVS: 2

Per slash/het/gen
- Slash (both type) : 38 (51%)
- Maleslash : 30 (40%)
- Gen : 27 (36%)
- Het : 15 (20%)
- Femslash : 8 (11%)
(total superior to number of fic because fics may have several pairings)

I write much more gen than I thought ^_^ I ought to write more femslash

Per pairings
- Seishirou/Subaru : 13 (27% of non gen fics)
- Snape/Lupin : 4
- Bellatrix/Andromeda : 2
- Kamui/Subaru : 2
- Fuuma/Kamui : 2
- Buffy/Spike : 2
- Others (pairing written only once): 28
(total superior to number of fic because fics may have several pairings)

Wow, I guess I'm really not kidding when I say Seishirou/Subaru is my ultimate OTP O_o I hadn't realised I had written so few Snupin fics, and only one Sirius/Regulus.
Lots of the odd pairing fics are because of the number of drabble by prompts fics
(people like asking odd things for those) and exchanges fic, but still. I like diversifying myself apparently.

Per characters
- Seishirou : 20 (27%)
- Subaru : 16 (21%)
- Remus : 9 (12%)
- Hokuto : 8 (11%)
- Snape : 8 (11%)
- Kamui : 7 (9%)
- Sirius : 6
- Andromeda : 5
- Fuuma : 5
- Karen : 5
- Regulus : 5
- Bellatrix : 4
- Setsuka : 4
- Kotori : 3
- Narcissa : 3
- Percy : 3
- Peter : 3
- Satsuki : 3
- Akio : 2
- Azula : 2
- Buffy : 2
- Damien : 2
- Nataku : 2
- OC : 2
- Sorata : 2
- Spike : 2
- Yuuto : 2
- Zuko : 2
- Others (characters written only once) : 35

Logical given the pairing fics, with a few characters boosted by gen fics. Again I'm much more diverse than I thought I was (then again some of these fics only show up in quick mentions ^^)

Per kinks/warnings/sex acts
- Mythology/Fairytales : 16
- Non graphic sex : 15 (sex happens, but the specifics aren't described)
- Deathfics (major characters dying): 13 (a number of those are canonical death though)
> Among which the character is killed by the SO of the main pairing : 8
- Mindfuck/Lies : 10
- Graphic sex : 9 (sex happens, and we know which bits got involved with which bits)
- Dub con : 5
- Oral sex : 5 (m/m and f/f why don't the straight folk get any oral sex?)
- Handjob : 3 (m/m and f/f ditto above)
- Incest : 8 (one is implied parent/child quasi-incest, all the others are siblingcest)
- Non con : 2 (Draco and Sirius)
- Masturbation : 2 (Percy and Regulus)
- Necrophilia : 2 (both implied, and Seishirou's the guilty one in both cases)
- D/s : 1 (Percy)
- Bondage : 1 (Remus)
- Candleplay : 1 (Azula)
- Bloodplay : 1 (Bellatrix)
- MPreg : 1 (Seishirou ^^)
- Chan : 1 (Regulus)
- Anal sex : 1 (!) (Renly/Loras)
- Penivaginal intercourse : 0 (!! - I need to get more graphic with the straight folks)

No big surprise... quite kinky, but not that much is graphic. Very little intercourse of either kinds. Oh, and I guess I should stop saying that I'm not really into incest fics >_>;

Per tense
- Past tense : 46 (61%)
- Present tense : 36 (48%)
(yeap I have fics with both passages in present and past tense)

I abuse this poor Present Tense way, way too much. One of the main thing I must learn not to do.

Per PoV
- Third person restricted : 66 (88%)
- Third person not quite restricted : 5 (I'm not sure I can call any of them omniscient either ^^;)
- First person : 4

I think I'd like to experiment with first tense a bit more. Also I need to actually manage to know what I'm doing when I'm using a non restricted third person...

That's all i can think of statisticating.

Now you are inspiring me to want to do this.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

yay!

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

I am trying to decide whether to do it by item or word count or both.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

lol, but if you do word count, should you count by number of words dedicated to a specific pairing/character/kink?

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

It would probably get complicated when stories share pairings. I think probably I should stick to stories for details and just have general word count stats (like per fandom)

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

That sounds fair.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

mainly i was thinking the HP dominance probably goes down quite a bit if you look at actual word count because I was writing a lot shorter stuff mainly.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

I think it would do that for me as well, except the reverse. Make HP stand bigger.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

I've written a lot of HP fic under 1000 words

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

yes, you've said that above.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

sorry. compiling this is sort of eating my brain.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

LOL

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

The percentages especially are really mesmerizing.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

pretty, pretty percentages, pretty!

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

So pretty! They are like a massage for my OCD tendencies.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

LOL

I'm only mellow about percentages, what I love most of categorization and typologies. TV Tropes media was especially mesmerizing to me.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

Yes. Sorting.

That is why I have "systems of categorization" as an interest.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

OMG yes! I love sorting stuff in HP houses. Or RPG classes/splats. It's horrible.

Or stating characters from random show into RPG too...

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

Yes!

And that's a lot of what I like about Tarot...

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

So true...

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

Although recently my cards have been being mean to me.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

How so?

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

Well last night sophia_helix and I were doing readings and mine just turned out to be the most depressing negative uninspiring spread ever that was all about blockage and didn't even suggest a way out. We were using the Golden Tarot, which tends to be a little harsh so I thought I'd even it out by doing another with the overly touchy feely girly positive Goddess Tarot. And then that one was still all reversed and depressing... and it's like the most positive spin deck ever.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

awww :(

well I seldom do spread (I love the tarot more as analytical tool than for prediction, ya know)... but I guess dark things at least means working through something. Might not be an easy passage, but it's not necessarly a dead end.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

I don't really use it as a prediction tool. It's more a medium for me to work out my thoughts through. It basically gives me some tangible structure to work things out on. I don't know if that makes sense.

Of was just weird because it was all this blocked energy stuff and then the suggestion card was Temperance, which is so not a getting out of anything card.

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Yeah it makes sense to me ^^ that's how I use it the few times when i spread.

Hmmm I tend to see Temperance as positive. It might mean the necessity for compromise, something like this?

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

It is a positive. It's just a weirdly middle of the road card for a spread that suggests something is severely out of whack.

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

Man there is no way I could do that with my masterlist of all my fics. :/ *ponders doing it for one fandom*

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

lol well I am unemployed and bored right now, and fairly unprolific as a writer.

Even one fandom can be a lot ;)

[flo-nelja.livejournal.com]

Wow. Now I want to do the same, but it would be soooo long to compile all the fics !!

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

I know, I think it tooks me 2 or 3 hours.

[flo-nelja.livejournal.com]

Considering that if I count the drabbles, I have approximatively 500 fics... proportionality tolds me about 15 hours... It's scary. O.O

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

eeeep

you could not count drabbles of course.

[shisakura.livejournal.com]

You make me want to do this for my art XD Except I know the results would be hilariously short. Namely it's almost all SxS in one way or another XD

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

LOL monomaniac you ;p

[shisakura.livejournal.com]

Guilty as charged XD

[rebbe]

Woaaah, that's crazy. You're mad for having the patience to go through and do this @_@

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

Yeap, I'm nuts XDD
