because i've noticed people (especially in the marauders fandom) call more and more long works on ao3 short fics, and because i saw this post of ao3 word count statistics, i was curious what this looks like now and did some statistics myself

specific notes here:

the line graph follows the same pattern as the pie charts. the points are merely set at the maximum word count included, but they represent all the works between the marked wordcount and the previous one (so a marker at 10k means works from 5001-10000 words).

the grey part of the pie chart combines all the works that are novel length and longer. note that between the marauders fandom and all of ao3 that percentage more than doubles

there is most definitely an overlap between wolfstar and jegulus fics, so i would assume that several of the jegulus fics at 500k+ are also included in the wolfstar fics and vice versa. i wanted a marauders overview overall, but since we don't have a certain way to view that, i simply went with the most popular marauders ship to get a rough overview of the fandom

i did a seperate category with works for 0 words because these are usually podfics and fanart, however i realise that even in the 1-100 words category there are a lot of 'placeholder fics' (which, btw, go against ao3 tos). the 0 word marker is missing in the line graph, so imagine there are some more lower points towards the left

the last marker on the line graph just indicates fics longer than 500k, i just set it to an arbitrary number >500k for visualisation

so i think it is in fact noticable that the harry potter fandoms, but especially the marauders one have a tendency for very long works, which also explains why we are not very good at judging when something is a long fic

as a reminder, in traditional publishing, 20-50k words is considered a novella, 50-100k is a novel, 100-200k is an epic, and above that we don't really have a word for it. use this knowledge to be more impressed with your local fic writers and give them a pat on the shoulder and a comment in their inbox to let them know they're incredible for writing fics, both the short ones and ones that are several novels long :)
