Toastystats data dump: F/F stats for all AO3 fandoms with 1K+ works

I am still hoping to do Femslash February stats this year. But I'm sharing some raw data along the way in case others want to also analyze it (or in case people want a sneak peek!).

For every fandom on AO3 with at least 1,000 public fanworks, I have included:

The number and percent of fanworks that are categorized as F/F

The number and percent of fanworks that are categorized as F/F, but not M/M or F/M (to try to help find fandoms with lots of foreground F/F)

How active the F/F part of the fandom was in 2024 (number of F/F-only works that were posted/last updated in 2024)

This data counts only public works (not ones restricted to AO3).

Paranormal (Data Dump) 1

I have seen multiple strange things in the sky that do not belong. I have one super incredible UFO event that is burnt into my mind to share with you. First before I get you all wondering what happened and making you need to find out what happened, I want to go back to the “Falling Star Phenomena” again.

*

I have seen the “Falling Star Phenomena” a few times in New Hampshire. I was usually outside in the back yard or walking on the road when I saw these phenomena on theses different occasions. I remember a significant time when I had seen this. I remember I was young and in middle school. I had a telescope. I was using my telescope to look at the stars and moon on the back porch. I remember it was a chilly night because the metal of the telescope was cold to the touch. After about an hour, my dad told me to bring the telescope in because it was too late. So I did. When I put the telescope back in the bag I was ready to go back inside the house. Then a bright light behind me grabbed my attention. There I saw, just like in the Dominican Republic, a bright light pulsing. The object spun in a clockwise rotation heading down vertically as it continued to spin. Then the light went out. I stood in amazement. Then my dad called me back in the house. I hastily scampered inside our home with my telescope in the bag.

*

One clear and frigid bitter New Hampshire night, my mom and I came back from picking me up at the end of martial arts class. There was snow on the ground when we arrived at home in the minivan. There was about six inches of hard snow. The snow was as if it had an icy glaze over it.

It was about 8:00PM. I got dressed to play in the snow. The moon lit up the yard and the snow sparkled from the moon’s reflection. I enjoyed making crunching sounds with my boots crushing the hard snow. It wasn’t very long until I saw it.

I was outside for 4-5 minutes and I saw this thing! It flew from one corner of the property to the other side of the property. The object was all black. It reminded me of a racecar driver wearing a helmet and racing suit. However from the shape of the helmet shape to the body I saw what looked like at least a 12 inch long neck. It had trapezoid wings that appeared fixed. The long side of the wings was toward the front and the short side toward the rear. The human body shape reminded me of a bowling pin shape. It was about 6 feet long and had a wing span of 6 feet. It flew just above the tree tops as if it was trying to avoid radar.

*

Now for what you have been waiting for! The super incredible UFO story! Hooray! It was dark and stormy! Water was jetting off the roof of my family’s house. The water was slapping the ground. Booommmkkkkkk! Lightning flashed and the power went out. I grabbed the battery operated lantern, so I could see. The light emitting diodes brightened up the room. As soon as the storm started, it stopped. We were still without power and it was nighttime. I decided to walk on the road outside, now that the storm has passed.

It smelled, felt, and looked like a tropical rainforest, even though it was just summertime after a storm in New Hampshire. I walked up and down the road a few times watching out for puddles. I walked past my house again and something flew over me. A UFO! It was bullet shaped and the bright light was radiating from the rounded part of the bullet shape in the front. The flat side of this bullet UFO was dark and had no light emitting from this section. It flew very low over the trees. I believed it was flying below radar detection. It flew from the direction of Pease International Tradeport. Also there was no noise from the UFO. I was so excited I ran back home and told my parents! Then as I rushed back outside and walked up the street. I saw a police car rush with its blue strobes on headed down the road towards Pease International Tradeport. I figured I should stay here a little while and see I if I would see anything else cool. I did!

I saw a convoy. The convoy consisted of one sedan in the front, a flatbed truck with its headlights off, a SUV only with its positioning lights on, and another sedan that looked the same as the first. All the vehicles including the flatbed were painted black. The convoy was headed in the opposite direction of the police car about 4-5 minutes after I had seen the police car. The convoy was never with the police car or headed in the same direction as the police car when I saw it. As soon as the convoy past, I heard a buzzing like sound. Then it got louder. Chahhp-Chahhp-Chahhp! I saw two helicopters heading in a similar direction of the convoy with spotlights pointed at the ground. It appeared that the helicopters were black. I couldn’t tell if there were markings or not on them. It was really dark so I can’t say for sure. However it sounded like there were 4 or 5 helicopters coming from all directions, but I only saw the two.

Then it clicked in my mind. Somebody was planning on retrieving this UFO! I waited for about 15 minutes and saw nothing. I went home. The first thing I did when I got back to the house was that I drew a picture of the bullet shaped UFO I had seen.

I have seen many UFOs. Most of them have been in Florida. In fact, I have traveled the world in search of paranormal phenomena. However, for some reason, I keep experiencing the paranormal within the state of Florida more than anywhere else I have traveled. I had traveled to Florida when I lived in New Hampshire and I experienced the paranormal on vacation. Now I live in Florida and I have had some of the most bizarre stuff happen to me. I would walk outside from 8:00PM to 10:00PM every night including when it rained. I noticed that nobody else would walk outside at this time. My belief is that because I continued this routine, I was able to see more UFOs than the average person.

*

From October 2015 – December 2015 I would see UFOs almost every single night. I saw these 3 foot long, straight, penny diameter cylinders of pure white light. I had seen lots of them. There were some above cloud level looking like tiny flashes of white light, some below cloud level, and many below tree top level. In fact one came so close to me it was about six inches away from my nose. That particular one light was where I got the estimate for its size. I noticed this particular one coming off the ocean, over the beach, and over the boardwalk where this thing could have hit me in the head! I was walking on the boardwalk and I was shocked by the near miss.

*

One night, I drove to the boardwalk with my cell phone and camera. My original plan was to take pictures and video of these things. I had seen them so often that I knew they would be there. I parked my car and I got this feeling. I felt like I would be disrespecting these things if I took pictures and video of them so I left my stuff in the car. Immediately as I climbed the stairs, three of these lights flew over me as if saying thank you for not taking any pictures or video. I got a warm fuzzy feeling. I continued my walk with excitement. I kept seeing them. I ended up seeing more than a dozen of them throughout the night. The most I had seen at once was four at one time that night. These four flew right over the gazebo attached to the boardwalk. Around this time I got the idea to start recording the dates I saw stuff.

*

On 8/21/15 I was walking near my family’s house. It was unusually dry inside my nostrils. It felt like my capillaries could crack at any moment, resulting in a nosebleed. I had been walking outside for an hour. It was around 9:00 PM when I saw something shocking and puzzling. A small aircraft like a UFO, I had seen this night. It had the front wings of a glider and the rear of a F-5 fighter jet with its distinctive duel narrow afterburners. The craft did not use the afterburners when I saw it. In fact, I would call this UFO slow. It flew faster than a bird, but slower than a propeller plane. I could hear a whining noise after it had passed me. It sounded like an electric motor.

It flew from east to west over the backyards of nearby homes. Even though it was night time, the street lights lit the area revealing the UFOs color. It was definitely dark blue, not black. It had a matte finish and there were no markings on it at all. It was 40-50 feet in the air. The wingspan was 4 times the size I was tall about 24 feet from wing tip to wing tip. Then something really weird happened. What happened next made me classify this as a UFO. A static like white light came from the tail and engulfed the UFO to the nose, as the UFO was flying forward. As soon as the light covered the object, the light went out and the object disappeared from view. Did I just witness some advanced optical camouflage? Was the UFO some kind of projection? Did the UFO disappear into a portal? I do not know the answers, but nothing could prepare me for what I saw the following night!

Ignore me. Just archiving some code for the drone, an automated phone-call-maker, and an RFID skimmer.

Also archiving maintenance keyfob information for the building I'm living in.

I feel like my life is now a coding-based roguelite that relies on Tumblr to function. Truly, this is hell.

[[ Code // Drone Code Update :: Improved maneuverability by allowing for finer speed control. ]]

[[ Automatic Phone Calls :: Automatic phone call maker. Programmed to auto-dial phone calls via VoIP. Meant to dial a certain number on the 1st loop day in conjunction with an MP3 file ]]

[[ RFID skimmer :: Using an RFID scanner, can retrieve RFID data off credit cards and other RFID-based devices. Range must be in near-contact range o obtain. ]]

[[ Archived Maintenance Keyfob Data to the Apartment :: Can be used later to create a maintenance keyfob. ]]

har har im very tired, sorry for the lack of posts ദ്ദി ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ )

[shamblessm]

Im just gonna put what I commented on this post and add some other details.

I wish these gacha-like games (Wuthering Waves is what I'm currently looking forward to) have more diverse character designs, or in a miracle GENSHIN has more said designs. Don't get me wrong, people were very happy seeing Yun Jin sing Chinese opera, Nilou dancing and Gaming being pronounced the Cantonese way in voiceovers (gaa-ming) and not the Mandarin way ("jia-ming"), and I'm very happy for these people. The sceneries are GREAT. They do pull off good representation in terms of the sceneries, cutscenes and lore, and I appreciate that, despite not being someone from one of the inspired countries in their regions, because there will be a Genshin player out there that's from that region and they will be happy seeing the architecture or lore. I just wish they weren't... you know. Pasty white like 95% of the time.

Though my massive nitpick is that said diverse character designs are often locked behind NPCs. Just take a look at the buffer NPCs in the open world - Wagner and Master Zhang.

If you want to take from other games, take that one Wuthering Waves NPC for example, he's got medium-length parted hair that fades from black to white and even is depicted muscular (well, not Jebrael-kind of muscular, I'd say similar to Alhaitham considering their model restrictions, you can just look him up on Twitter and you'll see what I mean), a scar on his right eye and a beard. Oops! Too bad he's an NPC!

Similarly, Oleg from Honkai Star Rail (same devs as Genshin mind you!) is one of the key NPCs in the game especially in the first planet/part of the game - old man, left eye scar, facial hair, darker skintone, hell, he's even described as "muscular" in Natasha's character stories, BUT NOOOO lets just keep him as an NPC and make clean shaven twinks as playable characters.

I mean, fine, I guess, they're not for the target demographic for Chinese players yadda yadda yadda but can they really not try? Will they really have any financial loss if they release Varka as a jacked dude with facial hair? Hell, I'm gonna take from another game again, Reverse 1999, despite not being Genshin-esque in gameplay (have fun staring at a chibi 2D rendition of your husbando every time you play, the only time you get to see him in human proportions is by either looking at his official renders or... "art"... of him hehehe) I commend it for starting to make characters that aren't pale as fuck with Shamane. You better not be a buff? dude with matching melanin of country of origin, has facial hair that is actually PLAYABLE. Oop, he actually is playable! What baffles me is R1999 is also from, you guessed it, Chinese developers, but I don't know if Shamane or other darker characters like Centurion, Black Dwarf and Leilani sell well there.

That said I don't plan to play R1999 - my personal preference is that if I summon a character I would rather be able to move around and fight as them rather than staring at a 2D chibi rendition of them, and thats what makes Genshin very fun for me despite being grindy and using a gacha monetization system. I've been typing for too long ranting so Imma end it here.

I’m so happy more genshin-like gatcha games are coming out (I understand they are very different from Genshin blah blah blah we have had this conversation don’t try and murder me), as that means the developers for Genshin have to try a little harder to compete with them

[beasblues]

here you go, TNG pages from my sketchbook🌟 I clearly do not have a preference for any particular character in this series so please make sure to enjoy every page equally 🙂🙆 also that blue ink is extremely hard to scan, so I had to do it through camscanner. therefore, please forgive the crunchy quality of half of these...

Toastystats data dump: size of all fandom tags on AO3 (Feb 2025)

I told someone over in the fandom data projects community that I'd share data on the size of fandom tags on AO3; then it occurred to me that perhaps other folks might also want this spreadsheet.

(It sometimes takes a sec for the data to load in Google Sheets, because there's a lot of data. If anyone can't get it to load lmk, and I can share CSV files instead.)

Here's a graph of how many fandom tags are in each of the media categories that AO3 uses:

A few notes about this data below the cut:

This data comes from the category lists on AO3, e.g., the list of Anime & Manga fandoms. Sometimes those numbers don't quite match what's on the actual Works page for a tag (e.g., The X-Files Works page says the fandom has 27,303 works as I'm typing this up, but the TV Shows category page says The X-Files has 27,355 works. (I suspect the larger number may include drafts and/or some deleted works, but I don't know for sure.)

The spreadsheet contains one list of all the tags together (sorted by size) plus lists for each of the different categories (in separate spreadsheet tabs).

The categories overlap -- e.g., the fandom tag "Star Wars - All Media Types" appears in Movies, TV Shows, Books & Literature, Cartoons & Comics & Graphic Novels, Other Media, and Video Games.

The data also includes stats on category size -- i.e., the number of fandom tags in each category. (Used to make the above graph)

This data includes restricted works as well as public works (unlike a lot of my fandom stats).

Uncategorized Fandoms (often typos or errors, or other things that will eventually end up wrangled into a bigger fandom) are not included above, as there are no sizes for those and a lot of them will disappear once wranglers handle them. But you can browse the current list in this spreadsheet.

There may be errors! Please let me know if you find anything that's obviously just wrong.

The archivists I spoke to were confident that much less government data will be permanently lost than was initially feared. But they also saw little reason for complacency. “What we don’t know is how much material has been changed,” Mark Graham, the director of the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, told me. His team is tabulating how many dot-gov pages with certain keywords have been modified or deleted; in the lead are “health policy,” “World Health Organization,” and “systemic racism.” Their backups are foundational to many of the more recent efforts to archive the federal web. But they’re also closer to “snapshots” than functional substitutes: What use is an archived F.D.A. finding aid if it’s been disconnected from back-end data, and doctors without coding skills can’t use it to research clinical trials?

“It’s a lot easier for the archival community to say, ‘Yeah, we have a bunch of data,’ than it is to say, ‘Yeah, we’re hosting a bunch of server-side applications that will help you navigate the data,’ ” Jack Cushman, the director of Harvard Law School’s Library Innovation Lab, told me. Last month, his organization released a backup of the more than three hundred thousand data sets hosted by data.gov. (At least three thousand of the originals have been removed.) They’re also working on open-source tools to make all this data navigable.

Last week, the guerrilla archiving movement reached an important milestone, when restoredCDC.org went online. It’s a replica of the health agency’s pre-Trump website based on backups from r/DataHoarder—one that’s fully functional, with a reconstructed back end and interactive tools. But fresh challenges loom. Librarians and data hoarders have been able to save only publicly available records; restricted ones, such as the D.O.J.’s National Database of Police Misconduct—or the internal records being shredded by employees of U.S.A.I.D.—may be gone for good.
