MWG 2022 WRAPPED LIST - PART SIXTEEN
What wrapped list would be complete without some good stats? As our final category, we asked our members to approximate a few different amounts to give us a glimpse into just how active (and mentally ill) they were last year!
On average, MWG members read roughly 87 fan fics per person. On the high end of the list was an impressive 250 fics, compared to our lowest of one single fic.
Not all fics are created equal though! Some people definitely read more words than others. The average words was approximately 666,233 words read per person. One particularly voracious reader estimated their count at 3 MILLION words read last year.
Now, out of these fics, some things we read were just extremely long. Like. Really long. Here are the longest fics that our members read last year!

While the average guild member did quite a bit of reading, there were a few tags that they just kept coming back to. The graph below shows our most popular (non-ship related) Ao3 tags!
Of course, the MWG focuses on one thing above all, which is writing. During 2022, our members wrote roughly an average of 83,000 words per person. On the impressively high side, one member estimated they'd written 360,000 words.
More than just promoting writing and events, the MWG strives to be a community. We hang out with each other, talk about other fandoms we love, share playlists and just get to know the talented writers with whom we share a guild. This year, guild members spent an average of 438 hours chatting, discussing or just lurking in the MWG discord server.
And we were so happy to haven them! We're continually grateful for all the wonderful and amazing people who join and become part of the guild dynamic. They truly make every single day interesting, to say the least. Thank you to our members and our followers for a wonderful year.
This is the end of our MWG Wrapped 2022! We hope you enjoyed this taste of what goes on in the guild. See you next year!
