#also re your tags: dw that didn't sound preachy at all it was genuinely interesting

[fogwitchoftheevermore]

thank you for this! genuinely very interesting info about the search function here, i don't totally get everything about ao3 sometimes, lol.

when i referred to incorrectly wrangled tags here, i meant that i was finding fics that were, on the fic itself, tagged as / (for example, ImpulseSV/ZombieCleo), and when i clicked on the / tag, it directed me to the & tag. idk exactly how wrangling platonic versus romantic fics and tags work, but i did know you couldn't change fics that were, on their own, incorrect, so i was referring to things that were tagged differently but sorted together.

when doing this and the empires one, i found three tags that had this happening. those tags being impulse and cleo's / and & tags, impulse and martyn's / and & tags, and pix and xornoth's / and & tags (tumblr won't let me link the tag for some reason) if you wanna look for yourself at what i mean (idk if my explanation was all that clear). but overall, thank you for all this info! glad i caught a wrangler's attention with this, lol.

Have you ever wondered what shipping statistics look like for the Life Series on AO3? God I sure hope you have, cause this took ages!

As stated in the introduction slide, this project is inspired by @docmlm77 's Hermitshipping 2022 project from December! i had a lot of fun doing this so i may come back to it at the end of the year to see how things change, we'll see! and keep an eye out for the empiresshipping version, which i'll be posting soon!

A link to the full spreadsheet will be in the reblogs.
