Fastest Growing Fandoms on AO3 This Week (06/17/2025)

Every week I pull data on how many fics are in each fandom and compare to the previous week, then calculate the percentage increase to determine fastest growing fandoms.  Since this naturally skews towards smaller fandoms, I have included the same data filtered to Over 1k, 5k, & 10k fics.

Overall:

Over 1,000 Fics:

Over 5,000 Fics:

Over 10,000 Fics:

part of the reason I think it’s so sad that we collectively write so few stories about unrequited love is bc I feel like there’s very little public acknowledgment of how much it sucks to be the one somebody is in unrequited love with??? and not in a way of like, oh they’re crossing boundaries or putting expectations on me or whatever. becoming close friends with someone and then finding out they’re in love with you and you don’t love them back the same way is heartbreaking, bc a) someone you love is in pain and there is literally nothing you can do about it, and b) it usually means that whether you like it or not there’s going to be distance in your friendship that wasn’t there before as they try to get over you. idk man I just feel like we’ve all discussed the tragedy of loving someone who doesn’t love you back quite a lot and very rarely discuss the tragedy of finding out the way that you love someone just isn’t enough.

Wow, now there's a bot going around on Ao3 telling people that the "moderators" will delete works from "deprecated" fandoms and impose bans.

Fearmongering bullshit, but it's fearmongering bullshit that seems to be taking advantage of the recent spotlight series in order to trick authors into deleting their fics.

Just. Why.

What the hell does anyone get out of making these bots.

"I don't want to read this" is totally valid.

"This is disgusting to me" is totally valid.

"I don't want to read this because it is disgusting to me" is totally valid.

"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.

hey heads up that the fandom fics post was almost there this time, but unfortunately the smallest bracket of fandoms still didn't work 😖 sorry!

Yes thanks! I noticed last night but once again I was in bed away from my laptop. Will run again now and hope the third time is the charm!

I've also edited the script to double the time between opening the charts and taking the screenshots, so hopefully that will finally give them all time to load!

I think this is happening because the dashboard data is cumulative, so it just keeps getting larger and larger. Which means it takes longer and longer to load the data into the dashboard and render the images.

I may eventually consider only loading data back to a certain date, but that would require more work than simply extending the waiting period and my life is horrendously busy at the moment, so will just have to wait for now!
