#atla fandom statistics

[visualizing-archive-data]

Most popular categories to write Avatar: The Last Airbender fanfic for on AO3.

How does that look compared to the total number of works?

Looks like the fandom started out gen-heavy before producing more F/M works. Gen gets an interesting bump in the second half of 2019 (could this be the @muffinlance​ effect?) and F/F has a local maximum post-Korrasami, but now it’s the year 2020 so it’s ATLA but with 100% more gay.

(Same 12-month rolling average applies to the data as in these previous posts)

AO3 Fandom Statistics 2020 - Avatar

Google Data Studio turns your data into informative dashboards and reports that are easy to read, easy to share, and fully customizable.

Played around with Google Data Studio today, so have some fandom stats 2020! Explore the data interactively by clicking the link.

Verdict on Data Studio: very fast and easy, decent style, but lacks functionality (I had to do the rolling average on the dataframe and then export to csv and upload to Google Sheets. Also, it somehow lacks the usual Plotly/Tableau capabilities to zoom and select/deselect traces at will on any plot). I will definitely use it again for fan-related stuff though, since the hosting is free and basic is good enough :)

Verdict on Avatar fandom 2020: Thriving! Zukka broke onto the scene in a big way, but Zutara is still going strong -- meanwhile Wuko and Kya/Lin add to the Legend of Korra ships.
