I have no idea what to do for that pink gremlin's hair so that's what he gets for now, ignore how he's almost got a boobie out. That was an accident. I just like a good bit of chestage or something.

Fastest Growing Fandoms on AO3 This Week (07/29/2024)

Every week I pull data on how many fics are in each fandom and compare to the previous week, then calculate the percentage increase to determine fastest growing fandoms.  Since this naturally skews towards smaller fandoms, I have included the same data filtered to Over 1k, 5k, & 10k fics.

Overall:

Over 1,000 Fics:

Over 5,000 Fics:

Over 10,000 Fics:

hal whos actually really stressed about his mortality, not in a 'i didnt godtier' way but in a 'if the body i worked so hard to get gets any kind of injured it'll fuck me up emotionally for 3 months at the VERY least' kind of stressed

August 26th 2024 was the year anniversary of when I first started posting Star Trek fanworks.

So I decided to do a very basic, little graphic about the fanworks I posted on Ao3!

Stats are for August 26th 2023 - August 26th 2024

I didn't include any of the & ships because oftentimes I tag posts as & as well as /.

AO3 Spirk Posts By Year

If it feels like you can't keep up with this year's crop of fics, there's a wonderful reason.

2024 is shaping up to be a bumper year for Spirk! I saw a post of the top 100 fandoms on AO3 and wondered what being number 73 in 2024 meant in actual numbers.

This inspired me to do a medium dive (because I didn't break it up by TOS/AOS/SNW-Disco and instead just looked for all Spirk) into total AO3 posts.

For those of you who are curious, here's the total number of posts tagged James T. Kirk/Spock by year.

With the notable exception of 2013, Spirk has remained steady with around 1000 total posts per year from 2011 - 2020. There's been a slow but notable increase starting in 2021.

2024 - 1400 (as of August 6)

2023 - 1697

2022 - 1381

2021 - 1145

2020 - 1076

2019 - 961

2018 - 874

2017 - 1170

2016 - 1056

2015 - 1013

2014 - 1288

2013 - 2006 (top year)

2012 - 961

2011 - 1009

2010 - 751

2009 - 580

2008 - 33

Note: these numbers are JUST for slash, not "&"

Furthermore, there's not currently a good way to sort posts by just fic or just art. Since Gumroad and others have kicked NSFW art to the curb, I suspect there's been a rise of artwork posted on AO3.

I hope we'll come up with a good, commonly used tag for AO3 art soon so it'll be easier to find. It's quickly becoming the one place I can reliably find uncensored spicy artwork, though I still have to work to find it.

As of this morning (August 6, 2024) there have been 1400 Spirk posts on AO3 this year. That makes 2024 the most active year in Spirk fandom since 2013.

I know several Discords have events that will result in big post collections going live before the end of the year. There's even a slight chance those might even push 2024 into the #1 spot for most AO3 posts.

So if it feels like you're struggling to narrow down your 2024 Philon Awards nominations, it's for the best possible reason.

Last year's eligibility period (2022-08-01 to 2023-07-31) saw 1640 works posted on AO3.

This year's eligibility period (2023-08-01 to 2024-07-31) has 2252 AO3 posts, plus another 26 days left in the nomination period. That's literally 600 more posts than last year!

So get out there and rec your favorite fics and art. I promise a lot of great dishes have been missed at this year's veritable buffet of choices.

hello and welcome to my conspiracy theory of why i think chip zdarsky is actually lana del rey

ok so chip zdarsky wrote batman: the knight aka one my favorite comics of all time. and batman the knight is aesthetic as fuck

LIKE HELLO?!?!?

!!!

now if you haven’t read the comic, this comic is about a young bruce wayne travelling the world and learning the skills it takes to be batman. along the way, he meets minhkhoa khan who later becomes ghostmaker and they train together. a lot. oh and also travel the world together. anyways a big plot point is that bruce wayne and minhkhoa khan are grappling with choosing their respective missions or each other because they’re gay for one another

so while they are figuring all this bs out, they are using pseudonyms for reasons and THEIR PSEUDONYMS ARE JACK AND ANTON (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT)

anyways i’ve seen a lot of people say that this comic reminds them of a lana del rey song, specifically cinnamon girl. there’s not that many ao3 fics about this comic specifically but of the 20 or so, i’ve seen at least three that reference cinnamon girl by lana del rey. so i was listening to that song because it is fucking ethereal and somehow ended up looking up the credits for that song. AND. THE GUY WHO PRODUCED IT’S NAME IS JACK ANTONOFF.

!!!

so this basically confirms that chip zdarsky is actually lana del rey who wrote batman the knight inspired by her song cinnamon girl and as a tribute to cinnamon girl, named the two main characters jack and anton after the producer of cinnamon girl.

or chip zdarsky is a lana del rey stan

i'll take either really
