Fastest Growing Fandoms on AO3 This Week (10/22/2024)

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:

Speaking of lines I think about constantly: “No, you can’t make it better. You never made it better, and then you died. That is the point.”

Mumscarian, but it's 1920s

Grian is a singer at a speakeasy

Mumbo is a detective

Scar owns the speakeasy

Mumbo mistakenly believes that Grian is involved with the mafia and that Scar is a mob boss

Shenanigans and silliness ensues

Idk, there's just something about Mumscarian that feels 1920s to me

So, one fun thing about me is that I always get great enjoyment out of mysteries, thrillers, etc in the various media I consume. Plot-twists? Literally will never see them coming. That grand reveal? Every single sentence of it will leave my jaw on the floor.

Earlier in the year, I went through a murder mystery series in which every single book left me utterly baffled until the clues were all woven together and explained at the end. Couldn't even venture a guess as to who the killer was or how they did it until the protagonist would give her big speech toward the end.

And I just now finished a book in which there was such a massive plot-twist in the last ten or so pages that I had to stop reading and just stare into space for a while to process it. What was that twist, you ask? One of the two main characters of the story is revealed to have been dead the entire time. She died 60 years prior to the opening of the story, and the main character, now elderly and never having gotten over the loss, has conjured her up as a "hallucination" that she talks to for comfort.

I went onto Goodreads after because I was so slapped in the face by this, and what do I see? Multiple negative reviews from people complaining the plot-twist was so obvious from the first few pages that it made the book unenjoyable to read. Well, sorry, 1-star-reviewers—couldn't be me. I did not pick up on a single clue that this woman was a figment of someone's imagination. Somehow completely missed the fact that no other characters aside from the main one ever spoke to her. I stepped over every last dropped bread crumb the author sprinkled in there to help readers piece things together.

And though I should be used to this happening by now, this particular one got to me so much that I needed to post about it.
