Interesting SquidgeWorld Stat
Jan. 17th, 2022 03:03 pmSo on New Year's Eve 2021, I did a kind of "year in review" for what people who were logged in read in the SquidgeWorld Archive. If you're interested, the data is here in a Twitter thread, and it covers fandoms, relationships, characters, and tags of every story that was read by a logged-in user for 2021.
Someone responded and asked what the overall archive was weighted when it came to tags, because in the "freeform" tags (those are the ones like "Established Couple" or "First TIme" that you add to your works when archiving them) Angst was amost 1,500 reads higher than the next highest tag, AU. Well today I ran that query, and yes. SquidgeWorld is definitely weighted to be angsty!

I love data, so when my love of fandom collides with my love of data I've definitely got a smile on my face.
