Fanfiction: Books

Around 1 a.m. everything is a good idea, including making graphs of the most popular books used as an inspiration by fanfic-writers based on the number of fanfics written for those books on FF.net.

Here are the (fairly unsurprising) results:

( Graphs )

I can't express how thankful I am that Discworld fics came in last, nor how appalled I am by the fact that there are so many DW ficcers in the first place. I don't know why, but for me, there is something extremely wrong and sacrilegious about the thought of people sitting down to write Vimes/Detritus cross-overs or whatever.
Although, considering how many fanfics there are for the Bible, I probably should not be surprised at the fact that they do exist.

Especially considering that there are 80 Minesweeper fics out there.

Anyway. Good night!

Fanfiction: Games

I know, I know, don't even have the 1am-excuse today, but I was curious what the graph would look for games (also, I really like graphs, embarrassingly enough). The sheer number of fanfics has always startled me, but the distribution befuddled me even more. 



It was not surprising to me that there are such a large number of fanfics for Final Fantasy, but I really would have expected more WoW fanfic featuring NElfs falling for BElfs or similar tacky crap.
Pokémon fanfic I expected, but the existence of Sonic the Hedgehog fanfic was news to me. Also, I would have expected more Star Wars or GW. Huh.
