Glee FanFiction Statistics
Data taken: January 14, 2012 from fanfiction.net
Notes:
Crossovers are a separate section and are not included in the Total.
There are two genre choices and two character choices, so in relation to the Total, there are overlapping counts for both sections.
All Genre categories were included. General means uncategorized in one or both genre choices.
All characters counted by sorting Category: Character. Sometimes stories do not have characters listed for sorting, so they are not counted. Others have more than two main characters, but only two can be included. Most fanfictions are one-shots. Two-character stories are most often, but not always romantic relationships. (Most to all fics for Furt, Hummelberry, Kurtcedes, Shelby & Rachel, and other such pairings are not romantic relationships.) I do not know all ship names, so I used them if I already do. For shipping, FF often goes crack over cannon, gay over straight. It’s just the way things work. Any character or relationship with less than ten stories was omitted. All Character categories were counted. New Directions and Dalton Academy Warblers are each a category. All major cannon relationships and friendships were counted, and most common crack ships. (There are too many to count all combinations.)
I typed common words and phrases into the search box. AU or A/U stand for “alternate universe.” OC stands for “original content” but more often “original character.” OOC stands for “out of character.”
