kohikariI have an update to the last Naruto Fandom Report! ^^
*was supposed to be doing her homework, oops*
Longfic is looo-- *shot* (10+ stories)
1) NaruHina - 95 (4p)
2) SasuNaru/etc. - 55 (3p)
3) SasuSaku - 40 (2p)
4) NaruSaku - 21
5) NaruIno - 11
The lovely lovely crackpairing of blonde!blue!loud!leaf!shinobi has risen from the depths to explode with youthful...um...maybe I should go to bed soon, I'm starting to sound like Gai. But yes, NaruIno has shot past KakaSaku, ShikaTema, SasuHina, and KakaIru/etc. to join the ranks of the long-winded. This is pretty impressive, considering that the pairing itself has only 20 pages total, and those it surpassed had pages numbering in the...um...more.
...Okay, I'm seriously going to bed now.

Heavy Hitters (just 20K+ stories for now)
1) B Harry Potter (duh) - 345K
2) A Naruto (also duh) - 127K
3) A Inuyasha - 76K
4) G all Final Fantasy categories added together (what? it counts...) - 47K
5) A Yu-Gi-Oh! - 44K
6) B Lord of the Rings - 41K
7) A Gundam Wing/AC - 39K
8) T Buffy the Vampire Slayer - 32K
9) G Kingdom Hearts - 31K
10) A Digimon - 30K
11) A DragonBall Z - 29K
12) A Sailor Moon - 26K
13) A T Fullmetal Alchemist [ties with] Teen Titans - 22K
14) A A G CardCaptor Sakura [ties with] Yu Yu Hakusho [ties with] Final Fantasy VII - 21K
15) T CSI - 20K
Gee, I notice a pattern here. Is it that anime/manga fans pwn all other fantards when it comes to fanfic? Why yes, it seems it is. (Perhaps the otaku has less life than the comics fan, seeing as the /anime/ category has most of the large fandoms and the /comic/ category is practically deserted...) Newcomers to the 10K+ field--for TV: Gilmore Girls (13K), Stargate: Atlantis (10K). Movies: High School Musical (11K). Games: Sonic the Hedgehog (10K). Anime/Manga: Prince of Tennis (11K). Significant growth in others: Harry Potter keeps shooting up (about twelve thousand new stories since December), Twilight (ew) jumped 4K to land at 15K total, and Naruto totally wants to be the hero of the wizarding world when he grows up--that section has gained another 14K, more growth than the HP fandom itself. Our favorite orange-clad ninja has a long way to go, though, as Harry Potter's fanfic archive is still almost three times the size of his. (But we all know size doesn't really matter, right, ladies and gentlemen?)

Celebrity Naruto Characters (100+ pages)
1) Uchiha Sasuke (duh) - 1270
2) Uzumaki Naruto (more duh) - 1256
3) Haruno Sakura (duh strikes back!) - 932
4) Hyuuga Hinata (son of duh!) - 416
5) Sabaku no Gaara - 276
6) Hatake Kakashi - 252
7) Hyuuga Neji [ties with] Uchiha Itachi - 248
8) Nara Shikamaru [ties with] Tenten - 149
9) Yamanaka Ino - 130
10) Deidara - 96
I stuck Deidara on at the end because (a) he has a good lead over other characters (the lead of which are still stuck in the late 70s and early 90s...no, not the decades, the fic page brackets) and (b) with so many ties, what else was I going to do to maintain an even 10? Significant growth in the top four (of course); Gaara jumped 30 pages, Kakashi jumped 26, Neji jumped 27, and Itachi fairly flew 34 to catch up with the Copy Ninja. ADDENDUM: I've been poking D.Gray-man, and the results of the Weekly Shounen Jump survey of character rankings circa about chapter 121. (Or was it 112?...) Apparently it's a pan-fandom thing that the token prettyboy character ranks above the, like, title character/protagonist/hero. Oh well, that's fangirls for you.

What Really Matters: the Fantards (30+ pages)
1) SasuNaru/etc. (can we have a resounding chorus of the duh here?) - 513
2) S SasuSaku (equally "surprising") - 444
3) S NaruHina (if you would like to make a call, please hang up and try again. If you need-- *click*) - 187
4) S NejiTen - 114
5) NaruSaku - 113
6) SasuHina - 75
7) ItaSasu/etc. - 74
8) KakaSaku - 62
9) GaaSaku - 58
10) KakaIru/etc. - 57
11) S ShikaIno - 49
12) ItaSaku - 48
13) ShikaTema - 43
14) GaaNaru/etc. - 40
15) NejiHina - 31
The pink "S" marks common RHFG sideships; one of the phenomena of this fandom is that certain groups of shippers have banded together under one flag to ship SasuSaku, NaruHina, NejiTen, and ShikaIno together for eternity. Less flame wars, moar solidarity; I kinda like it. Except when it gets creepy because of how intense some NaruHina/SasuSaku/etc. fans can get, of course. And look! NaruSaku (teh canon) is so close to bumping NejiTen from the fourth seat! I know not everyone is capable of loving Team Seven, but... *waves "GO TEAM" flag* Also, SasuHina has officially ousted ItaSasu from the sixth spot. I wonder, is it because the incest fans ran out of ideas to ship the brothers in together, or is NaruSaku/SasuHina/ShikaTema the sideship group for the more discerning het fan? GaaSaku is helping edge KakaIru out of the top ten (woohoo!--I mean, uh, what a shame, really...), and ItaSaku is now challenging ShikaIno for the right to take the tenth spot from our favorite random teacherpairing. I dunno, I think the top ten list has enough Uchiha and Team 7 as is... *wants moar diversity* Also, breaking news! I have ADD. *shocking, really*
