Fun with fanfic stats
Jun. 27th, 2012 08:14 pmI had fun looking at how recent events in canon have affected my story stats on fanfic.net. I've included graphs with brief descriptions of what I see as the relevant details, let me know if there's other details you're interested in (either image descriptions or things I didn't screencap)
Two big things this week: on Sunday the 24th Legend of Korra had it's season finale, and yesterday (the 26th in the US) there was a new extended ending released for Mass Effect 3. Let's see what that did to my stats...
All stats are for the last three weeks or so.
All stories:

No real pattern, but a major uptick on the 26th (the massive jump down on the 27th is because that's the current day in the US). My most popular works were almost all Mass Effect related.
Sex and the Citadel (Mass Effect 3 canon het):

Uptick on the 17th, then a gentle parabola down and up again with a major jump from 9 hits to 21 on the 26th, when the new ending DLC was released.
Stirring (Legend of Korra gen about Lin Bei Fong feeling ill):

10 on Thursday the 14th (part of a general downward trend you can't see from when I posted it on the 11th), down to 4ish until another 10 on Sunday the 17th (second last episode!), then a slow increase to 10 for the weekend of the finale and a steady high since then.
Interestingly, scrolling back reveals that Sex and the Citadel also seems to have spikes on weekends, even though that's not a general trend with my hitcounts.
Anyway, not enough data to point to a definite correlation but I still thought it was interesting.
