#hi again andi if you're seeing this! fun fact! I drafted this post bc I knew I was gonna post it later and not immediately

this year, I kept a reading log spreadsheet of all of the fanfiction I read. so, assuming I don't read anything else in these last few hours of 2022, these are my final stats. here is my ao3 wrapped!

i read 496 fics this year. these are surely rookie numbers 😃 (this picture isn't even the entire spreadsheet)

my total words read in fanfiction this year is 6,227,818. 6. million. and 22 thousand. words. 24 of these fics, or about 5% of the fics read, were of a length equivalent to that of a standard fiction novel, which is a length of 40,000 words at the lowest average count. I feel like it's necessary to state here that, whenever I read incomplete fics, I put their current word count, but when the fics updated, I did NOT update the listings, so this number is an estimate

my no.1 fandom this year was stranger things! at 74% and 441 fics read, a surprise to no one. the runners up are the legend of zelda, in no.2, with 24 fics and 11% of my reading, and avatar the last airbender, in no.3, with 18 fics and 8% of the stuff I read!

my no.1 pairing this year was byler, with 57% at a count of 289 fics read! again, a surprise to no one! runners up are, no.2, ronance, with 67 fics and about 14% of the fics I read, and no.3, steddie, with 58 fics and 12% of the stuff I read

my highest month for fanfiction reading was july! of the 496 fics I read this year, 162 of them were read in july, which is about 33%.

468 of the fics I read this year were completed when I read them, which is about 94%.

the author I read the most from was @andiwriteordie, with 34 fics, which is about 7% of the fics read. tbf though, this is because she's insane and wrote a LOT of stuff this year.

409 of the fics I read this year, or 82%, were oneshots.

and those are my ao3 reading habits for this year! I'm thinking that maybe I'll track some tags and other stuff for 2023

#it's strange how fun it is to track this stuff considering it involves having to remember to open a spreadsheet every time I read a fic #anyway hi andi if you see this bc I tagged you sorry for tagging you but thanks for writing so much this year alsjdjfkd <333333 #anyway I hope I don't regret putting the pictures of the charts up here #if any of you see something you wanna make fun of me for you better keep it to yourself actually. shut up. #I put the pictures bc I wanted this to look at least a bit interesting but I won't do it again if that turns out to be a mistake lmao #so it WILL be a wall of text next year if it has to be #stranger things #byler #tagging those bc they were my top fandom even though this technically isn't really an st or byler post‚ hi guys! #ao3 wrapped #yeah I'll tag it with that #hi again andi if you're seeing this! fun fact! I drafted this post bc I knew I was gonna post it later and not immediately #and then after saving the draft I went and scrolled through my dash again only to see that you'd posted the new year's fic! #so I had to go through this and edit it all again by one singular number akdjfjskskls
