TOP 10 CARTOONS ON FANFICTION.NET BASED ON NUMBER OF FANFICTION (1999-2022)
To make this bar chart race, all series titles in the Cartoons Section on November 29 (or the closest date to it) of every year were copy-pasted from Wayback Machine to Google Sheets, rearranged according to number of fanworks, and then inputted to Flourish to turn into a bar chart race.
In 2000-2006, FFN used Miscellaneous Cartoons as a catch-all tag for all cartoons that didn’t have their own category yet. It was then renamed to Misc. Cartoons in 2007 before it was moved to the Misc. section in 2008.
Code Lyoko and Avatar: The Last Airbender were actually miscategorized at first and were found in the Anime section from 2004-2007 (2005-2007 for ATLA). I used their data from that section for those years.
In 1999, fanfiction weren’t divided into sections like Anime/Manga, TV, Books, etc. yet. It was just a small list of mixed fandoms.
Originally, the fanfiction list was sorted alphabetically too, but was changed to number of fics at around early 2013.
By November 2013, FFN started abbreviating numbers above 1,000 to K, so exact numbers aren't available for series with more than 1,000 fanfiction.
This bar chart was made with the assumption that the numbers listed in the Cartoons section are correct. I can't seem to get the same numbers for some of these categories when I go to the specific categories' page and toggle ratings, other filters, and language to All though... I'm not sure where the discrepancy is coming from. (And it’s not the crossover fic numbers that need to be added to serie’s total fics from what I’ve observed.)
Please refer to this post for more bar chart races.
Thanks for understanding and hopefully I didn’t mess up anywhere! 🙏
Not Miraculous Ladybug but since I heard you're a fan of Code Lyoko, I wanted to ask a few questions if that's cool. Who's your fav character and why? What's your favorite and least favorite thing about each main character? Fav side character? Favorite episode? Favorite XANA attack? Are we all in agreement that Clone William is best boi? Anything else you want to say about it that no one's asked before? Sorry this if this is a lot, lol.
Favorite Character: Aelita. She easily went through the most development over the course of the show, going from a walking plot device to a capable fighter in her own right.
Favorite Things About the Characters:
Ulrich: He easily has the coolest powers in Lyoko. Twin swords, super speed, duplication, and an awesome bike.
Odd: Similarly, I like how Odd's powers are handled. It's clear that compared to the others, his are the least practical (cat features, a limited supply of "laser arrows", and a shield), but he manages to hold his own through his quick thinking.
Yumi: I like the way she has to struggle the most balancing her personal life with her Lyoko duties. Unlike the others, she lives with her family, so she has to deal with family drama, and that's not getting into what happens once William gets involved.
Aelita: Again, it's the way she goes from a standard damsel in distress to becoming the de facto leader of the team when Jeremie isn't around.
Jeremie: It's really interesting to see Jeramie act as the leader of the team when he isn't much of a fighter, almost like a young Professor X. The other four may fight XANA directly, but Jeramie gets a lot more done. When XANA wiped out Lyoko, Jeramie managed to recreate the entire world, give the other four upgrades to their powers, and create a submarine for the team to use.
Least Favorite Things About the Characters
Ulrich/Yumi: Putting them together because this one is obvious. The "will they or won't they?" stuff. It just got old, and even after Season 3, which has Yumi try to say she just wants to be friends, the show still rode with this.
Odd: He's funny, but there are still times when he can be pretty annoying.
Aelita: There are admittedly times were it felt like the show kept coming up with ways to endanger her. It made sense in Season 1, but by Season 3, it felt a little excessive that XANA needed her to destroy Lyoko.
Jeremie: I always found it disappointing that we never got to see his Lyoko form.
The next poll tournament I will be running is the Characters With Fans Tournament.
...Um, fans as in hand fans, I should probably clarify.
I have submitted two characters myself (they'll be at the top of the submissions list)
Submit a character with a fan, along with where they come from and (if you want) propaganda. You can do this through ask or submit a post.
Currently submissions will be closing once the already running poll tournament ends (the 7th of May I think it would be). This could be changed and there will be an update if it does, but for now that's how it is.
@tournament-announcer
Submissions in bold have propaganda, submissions not in bold do not have propaganda. Whether they do or do not have some already, you are still free to submit some.

I haven't been on this platform in years and slowly started making posts and reblogs again. Most of the accounts I did follow back then are either gone, or no longer active. So I'm listing EVERY THING I'm into, so I can follow people back with similar tastes and interests. Consider it a get to know me things whole I make updates. Reblog, share and comment as much as you want, I'd really like to make good use of this site again. Especially since I'm a YouTube Spoofer and part time writer, and always getting inspiration. Which also means my channel is going through revamping, so you'll see some activity on and off as things are scheduled ahead of time.
Plus I'm working on creating my own animation studio with friends to bring my original ideas to life as movies and series in the future. I love to spread joy and fun to others to who aspire to animate as well! Warning: there's a a ton of things I love! 😅

That's mostly the just of me and what my channel is going to start having. If you have any questions about favorite foods, animals, book series, sports or anything about personal tastes, feel free to drop them I'm my asks box, and Ill get to them as soon as possible!
Ulytra is the best name I could come up with for him, but please, feel free to suggest a better one if it comes to your mind.
Learning from Vesperia, I tried VERY hard not to make him look like a wasp. His two swords are his stingers that can paralyze an enemy if he hits them just right.
Honestly just fics that only get like 2-3 non-crossover fic recs probably or those in which I am/was in the fandom of just briefly before ducking out again.
The Chronicles of Narnia - Comments: It has been years since the last time I read the Chronicles of Narnia. With this in mind, I do have more perspective than I used to and very few recollections of character, so these fics are more plot based than they are character-centric. Nonetheless, I decided to include this section because I really like National Service and I wanted to put in some Narnia crossovers here.
Danny Phantom - Comments: Sorry y’all will NOT catch me reading Batman x DP. No thank you.
Spy x Family - I don’t really read fic for this, but there was this one ficlet so…
OUAT - I had a mild thing for Peter Pan in S3 (as in I have only watched season 3) but him being Rumple's dad kind of gives me the ick, so if OUAT Peter Pan is here, he's probably not Rumple's dad.
Miraculous Ladybug
The Maze Runner - Comments: Stiles is Thomas works are great. But also just Thomas x Newt is very sweet and heartbreaking.
Teen Wolf - Comments: I love Stiles Stilinski. Honestly, he’s very good for crossovers, and I just love crossovers. I’m not a huge fan of incessant Scott McCall hate.
Criminal Minds - Comments: Like 6 episodes of this. Here mostly for the xovers.
Coco - Comments: listen there’s great angst potential here.
Wicked - Comments: Listen. The music is so good. I want to know more about wtf is up with Fiyero. Love triangles are stupid they should’ve just been a throuple. I said what I said.
BBC’s Merlin - Comments: Good show. I think I actually finished watching the first season.
Code Lyoko - Comments: Favorite of my childhood. I love Ulrich lmao.
Leverage - Comments: Such a good show! I love the team dynamics! There’s some good crossovers here too.
Kuroko no Basket - Comments: Never watched, but I read this one crossover ages ago and had a brief foray into the fanfics and now I know about these rainbow basketball players I don’t even like sports.
Howl's Moving Castle - Comments: The movie is pretty but not very Ghibli in terms of plot because it has more plot. Still pretty. Book was pretty good and a lot more confusing.
Rise of the Guardians - Comments: This movie was so good! Jack!!
Chuck - Comments: Most here for the White Collar crossovers.
