I've been meaning to do this for quite a while. ^^;

( *fine print* )

First, the main pages! Heavy-hitters are sections with at least 10,000 stories.

SITE-WIDE RANKINGS:

REIGNING CHAMPIONS
01.) Harry Potter (466.5K)
02.) Naruto (244.7)
03.) Twilight (156.5)
04.) Inuyasha (94.7)

Next, the first-ever Heavy Hitter assessment for the Crossover pages! So, apparently this part of the site measures by how many different canons one fandom crosses with; heavy-hitters in this case are crossover sections with at least 1,000 intersections. Each of these intersections has its own section of stories about two different canons. *head hurt yet? mine does*

SITE -WIDE RANKINGS:

TOP OF THE HEAP
01.) Harry Potter (9.0K)
02.) Naruto (6.7)
03.) Twilight (6.3)
(...sound familiar?)

( cont'd )

( categorically )

In conclusion:

( blah blah blah )

(I'll most likely come back to this later, do more analysis and whatnot.)

I can't help but get giddy over a lot of ff.n's new features. The character filters, the crossover sections, the "Just In" top 100 list, and now there's popularity filters in each of the category pages! Ah~ ♥

Based off of data collected between 10 and 11 PM EST, Thursday December 31^st 2009.

Notes: After a long and agonising decision process, I went for lavender as the colour for "TV Shows," as deep orange just wasn't cutting it. *angst*

Also, to all the Naruto fic-writers out there: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WRITE! WRITE LIKE YOUR LIVES DEPEND ON IT! No way in hell is Twifail overtaking our position! For crying out loud, neither of the main characters has a personality! ガンバレヨ！

Heavy Hitters (10K+ stories)

( numbersnumbers )

It's been...uh...six months since the last check. This time, can't remember why, used decimals on the grand...oh well, it'll just complicate the comparison algorithm a little...~~although I just remembered that I've always hated subtracting. Damn sneaky numbers, always borrowing without asking first!...~~But yes! to the numbers: HP went up 21K, Naruto 25.5K, IY 3K. Roughly the same trends as always: Inuyasha fandom is in long-term cooling, Potterdom is still rolling along at the pace its sheer size requires, and the Narutards are still trying their darndest to cream Harry's British clock with a teeny-tiny (but very enthusiastic) Rasengan. Meanwhile, KH, FF7, Pokemon, Bleach, Supernatural, Stargate: SG-1, Avatar, Wrestling (god part of me still can't believe that section exists, and so prolific at that~ XDDD), High School Musical, Prince of Tennis, Sonic, and House have all bumped up; that can probably be attributed to new material in the respective franchises. Happy news!: we have new members of the Cool Kids clique--Doctor Who and Death Note (w00t ♥). Also, Twilight doubled.

( sad )

Also, on the D.Gray-front: pre-February I think the archive had between 500 and 1000 stories; by the 23rd it was 1464; 2536 by the fourth of July; 2637 on the 14th; and the current story count is 4396. If it keeps doubling every six months or so, and I do suspect that this trend will continue, then D.Gray-man will hit the Heavy Hitters in less than a year and work its way up. The second the dub hits major broadcast channels, all the odds are on the side of there-goes-the-neighborhood, here-come-the-numbers.

(this is just part one, I'm coming up soon with something specifics on Naruto and D.Gray-man and characters and all those shiny new toys that have been updated...though I'm kind of embarrassed I don't recognise half the names on the D.Gray-list, it's really annoying they don't put full names)

TO THE STATISTICS!

D.Gray-man's archives have doubled in just four-and-a-half months, to 2536 stories total (that's the equivalent of 102 pages of fic).

Overall, damn but this fandom has grown fast. And now that Funimation's licensed it for dubbing, the tsunami of American n00bfans can already be seen in the distance, ready to turn my precious precious tinyfandom into the likes of Bleach, Inuyasha, and Naruto. I don't know whether I want to swell with pride or lock D.Gray-man in its room and tell it it's not allowed to date until it's thirty... *sob* They grow up so fast...

(Also, this would have been posted like five days ago had the computer not been taken apart, moved from one room from another, put back together, broke down, fixed, caught a virus, quarantined, scanned, and reset. AND THEN LIVEJOURNAL DECIDED TO HATE ME. Mother of God. *deathglares at evilthing*)

I have to share this computer with my mother, so I don't have the time or resources to update the D.Gray-man or Naruto stats yet.

( A Short History of Judy, Technology, and How It Hates Her )

I reviewed the heavy hitters in all the categories (comics is still utterly bereft of anything significant):

( The Top Ten )

( The Lower Five )

( The Last Nine )

( Review of the Big Three )

( D.Gray-man flail ♥ )

Apart from the top three, nothing has really budged much except Kingdom Hearts (up 4K) and Twilight, which has actually doubled. If it weren't for Jasper Fforde and Sarah Rees Brennan, I'd give up all hope for the future of modern literature. (If anyone compares Stephanie Meyer to J.K. Rowling, they're lying.)

That's the first one. There's another. -_-;; More tomorrow--I'm out of school, applying for a summer job, have nothing much to do. My precious darling Hermione (yes, I named my new laptop, and no, it wasn't specifically for the Harry Potter character--awesome as Hermione Jean Granger is, there is precedent of the name in both Shakespeare and Greek history, not to mention the number of possible nicknames referencing the word "mine;" we have technological possession issues in my house) fried right in front of me not three months after buying it off eBay (curse you, eBay! *shakes fist*) and I've been sneaking onto the computer my mother uses when she's looking the other way. Right now I'm making an effort to catch up on D.Gray-man: rereading ZONE, wtf-ing over chapter 159, going over past notes and compiling new ones. Still trying to screw my head on straight. *emo!sigh*

I am officially dead and this is my spectre come back from the grave to...uhhh...meander around doing random shit.

So! To business. Around January/February/March Dayadhvam_Triad (hereafter referred to as D_T, as the whole name is far too much effort to type out--Eliot was such a drama queen) got into D.Gray-man, and I promptly hijacked her post fangirling about it. I'm rereading it, because I'm easily distracted ~~and because I'm still working on a couple responses to those threads~~. It's too much goddamn effort to keep it all in the indenting LJ format where eventually the sentence is like

At
Lev
1,
I
don
thin
the
Aku
itse

quit
sen
or
part

and

and of course that's lame, so. My original intent for this account (as I had no idea what had come into my head to make me apply for an account on yet another website I had no interest in at the time) was archiving fandom babble, and in D_T I found a comrade in the joys of geeking, so.

...I end far too many sentences with the word "so."

Apparently I have actually breached the LJ journal entry limit. Um, wow?...

So. Um. Mucho with the not-being-on-the-intarwebs. Um. In my defense ~~*suppresses Phoenix Wright joke; I don't even play video games, goddammit*~~ I have good reasons, involving senior year and our graduation requirement as theatre majors and hospitalizations and nervous breakdowns and yada yada yada. Am posting my Shit Needs To Get Done list (in no particular order):

- reassure MMPU that yes I am still among the living (I was about to post in the TT3, guys, I swear, but then I wound up in the hospital for like a week and...well, not so much with the posting. I'm kinda flattered that Rascall came all the way to LJ to look for me, though -^^- )

- arrrgh ohmygod those entries I hijacked on D_T's journal have been dead for, like, TWO MONTHS DDDDX

- *headdeskheaddeskheaddesk* Must...finish...replying...

- renovations/updates/OCDlike edits to do on teh elljay (e.g. FIX THE GODDAMN CUTS, JUDY)

- oh yeah, social life, right...

- get Chuunin off email spam list because what with the not-caring phase with the Naruto fandom and all (sorry, Kishimoto-sensei, but I think the Itachicaust clinched it...I mean, I'll try to catch up, if only for old times' sake, but I just don't care enough anymore to want to have to deal with the 19374920.445 alerts that OMG LJ USER #XXY HAS POSTED ON CHUNNIN!!!111elevently)

- retackle tinyfail on ff.n (I think the D.Gray-fantards might reach 2K stories soon~ *suppresses fatuous squeal* Sooo cuuute~)

- speaking of the precious tinyfandom, have I done the postingness of the statistics yet?...I might need to update that, come to think of it...

- why the fuck are those HP Harajuku Girl Whatever things in the sidebar ads for whatsername so fucking annoying? *kills*

- --Gwen Stefani, that's it! Why the hell was my first thought of Madonna?

- wait, that wasn't on my to-do list...

- figure out which of the 155 (count 'em...155! Hot damn, the last time I saw that number was when I looked at my inbox on dA...hey, speaking of dA... *heads for the hills*) ff.n alerts on my notes-to-self list I want to actually spend time catching up with

- oh, hey, homework. Grades. Graduation. Riiight.

- get ass in gear on (a) burning Finnish/Suomi (specifically Savo) phonetics and transliteration dynamics into brain, then memorizing Ievan Polkka and ~~a couple~~ four ELT songs (FUNDAMENTAL LOVE, jump, Mata Ashita, Koibumi)

- read various hardcopy before I lose the Window of Opportunity

- catch up on D.Gray-manga, possibly Naruto manga

- bother with D.Gray-anime and Naruto anime? Evaluate variables of caring and giving a shit

Et cetera. So, I'm on it! Sort of. MMPU and um I think elljay are my first interweb priorities (right after Googling ultrarapid and ultradian cycling bipolar and hitting up WebMD for a far-fetched answer to the weird facial rashes the doctors can't seem to figure out), and above all, I'M NOT QUITE DEAD YET.

Over the 2007-08 holiday break, D.Gray-man ate my soul.

So of course I'm head over heels. ♥ And best of all, the D.Gray-fandom isn't even massive like Harry Potter and Naruto and Inuyasha--there's only a thousand or so stories on the Pit, which means I can go through them all and get an idea of what the fandom's about without missing anything.

Geh, don't have the energy to write any decent intro right now--just, here's the stats.

NEVAR DOUBT THE POWER OF JUDY'S PROCRASTINATION-NO-JUTSU.

--

(Harry Potter is currently at 344,004 stories. Naruto is at 126,092. Inuyasha lags behind at 78,031. But WHO CARES about those big bloated depraved fandoms, when I have the world's cutest tinyfandom RIGHT HERE?~ ♥ ♥ ♥)

D.Gray-man has grown to 1464 stories (socute) (that's 59 pages, up 10p or 248s from two months ago!~ ♥)

( the numbers )

~Oh, look how much you've grown!~ *pinches D.Gray-fandom's cheeks, squashes to saggy bosom and leaves embarrassing fuschia lipstick marks on its face* ♥

( more of a ha'penny than two cents )

Overall, the section has bloomed 22% in just two months, and if it keeps up it'll be a large healthy Pit-section in no time. ^^ Sotiny~ Socute~ ♥

~So for the last couple months I've been powering through all 299 stories with 5000 words or more (code 5) (I'm ignoring the other 955 or so tinyfic, at least until they're big enough to warrant examination--there are far more phailfic and emo poetry than there are 1337 drabbles), and these are my observations thus far:

...I need a hobby.

Um. A different one, I mean. Maybe I need multiple hobbies. I'm just a liiittle too dangerous when I'm bored/procrastinating/avoiding something.

So. First, since I knew Harry Potter was the most popular section overall and Naruto was the most popular section in the Anime/Manga category, I decided to check out the rest of the site so I could get an idea of what the rest of ff.n is like.

Heavy Hitters Per Category (10K+ stories)

(Note on URLs:

So.

As of today, there are 113K stories in the Naruto section. 4056 pages of English stories.

Let's see what the character statistics are like.

[[Don't want to slog through the knee-deep piles of crap in the archives of ff.n? Have no fear! Judy the Masochist will do it for you.]]

On September 4th I started a project to read and review (in a way) every novel-length fic in the most popular Naruto pairing on ff.n. Which means, a lot of yaoi. I suffer for my art. (Yes, OCD is my art. Because I'm special.)

(BTW, KakaSaku has overtaken KakaIru/etc. as the eighth most popular pairing; between teacher/student and random yaoi pairing, I have to say no comment.)

(Have I posted the Naruto survey on this account yet? I don't think I have. Okay, top ten pairings on ff.n are, from first to tenth: SasuNaru/etc.; SasuSaku; NaruHina; NejiTen; NaruSaku; ItaSasu; SasuHina; KakaSaku; KakaIru/etc.; GaaSaku.)

I went ADD for a month between September 5 and October 8, and went slowly for the rest of the month because of senior year and all, but I finally finished it today~ *feels special* On the fourth there were 37 100K+ worded fics in this section; by today, there were 44. The seven newbies are GCH, FB, MB, ED, N:TNC, and LMMB. These crazy people, they just don't stop. Anywho, fics are arranged in order of publishing date; debatably coherent "review" follows each description. (Asterisks mark the fics on my stalk list, a.k.a. fics I actually care about.) Like so.

Fic Title (Author)
"Summary given, word for word (i even had enouhg sefl-control ot leave hte typos aloen)."
Rating - Genre(s) - # of Chapters - # of Words - # of Reviews - Date Published--Date Updated

Comments!

And, onward.

And best of all, now I don't have any reason to ever set foot in the archives of ff.n. EVER AGAIN.
