The publisher Kadokawa had a down year-over-year quarter (partially due to the Elden Ring abnormally boosting things last year in an unrepeatable way) but Agu got a name drop with her licensing deal as being high income for them. Yay! Please put out some merch for her or something. [x]
Apparently kudos bombing has hit the SWTOR AO3 section. Based on Reddit reports, it’s either a paging bot from a search engine that got stuck or someone’s script created to give THEIR fic kudos has been given a subroutine to kudos others so that they look less suspicious. I got a sudden 79 kudos on the Fictober collection with less than 60 hits in the same period, and got 49 kudos on the Yavin fic to about 30-40ish hits. I know that somewhere between 0-10 of each of those bombs are valid but unless someone informs me they threw my fic in a discord or shared it on a community somewhere, I’ll assume the rest are the result of a bot.
It is not malevolent in that it can hurt you or your fic, but if you’re a numbers gremlin like me, you will has a grumpy.
It’s when I was making graphs about my AO3 statistics that I realized that my writing process, research, and excess headcanon’ing (and writing long-ass analyses about it) is probably similar to the process that would be undertaken by Elara Dorne and Lana Beniko jointly writing fan fiction about a smuggler in their downtime.
I consulted the spouse -- agreement with a laugh
Im such a numbers nerd, I wonder if anywhere out there exists a document with special edition furbies and what numbers are owned by who?
Like I have two now and I just feel in my core that somewhere out there is a special edition furby Google doc where I could find the potential number siblings my babies have 😂
Just some interesting voter stats on my mid-size Florida county, taken from the census data and election websites:
There are 60k adults who are not registered voters.
Out of about 400k total voters, the age group 66 & up make up 120,000! That absolutely dwarfs every other age group - it equals the next 3 closest categories (61-65, 56-60, and 18-25!) combined.
When expanding to 55 and up, the number of registered voters is literally half of the total. We an old county, y’all. Lotta beaches though.
Glad to see the highest non-senior total is the 18-25 group. Keep it up!
We’re also a VERY white county - 84% (15% of those are also Hispanic).
Despite all that, the make up of the political parties is pretty even: 131k Dems, 149k GOP, and non-partisan/other 116k.
26 of Florida’s 67 counties have populations under 50,000 people.
7 counties have at least a million: Duval (Jacksonville), Miami, Palm Beach, Orange (Disney!), Hillsborough (Tampa), Pinellas (Clearwater), Broward (Ft. Lauderdale).

Do you have a favorite number? Numbers that seem to repeat in your life?
Nine will always be my favorite because it has such cool qualities.
Want to know if a number is divisible by nine? Add its digits together, and add those digits together, until you get a single digit. If it is nine, the number is divisible by nine.
It doesn’t matter what order the digits are in. 2763, 6237, 7326, or 273663277263, all are divisible by nine.
I love that.
One way I relieve stress in my head and block out my thoughts is to go for a walk and add up each of the house numbers that I pass. It totally works.
Always and forever, Team Nine.

The nerdiest thing about you
Oh, I am a numbers nerd through and through.
I have an MBA in Finance and Accounting and spent my entire career crunching numbers. I love Accounting because it has to balance. Every debit has a matching credit.
I do arithmetic in my head as a way to distract myself. It calms me at the same time. I have pushed through many marathon miles while calculating completion percentages.
I get all excited over “pi day” (3.14) and Fibonacci sequences in nature.
I love dates with arithmetic meaning (thank you State of Hawaii for making my divorce final on 8.6.14).
My best example of my math nerdiness (and Jim’s too) is from an early exchange that Jim and I had. I was living in Monarch Beach, CA 92629 and had given him my mailing address.
Jim: Your zip code is a palindrome.
Me: I know! Isn’t it great?
That’s me, in a nutshell.
Are you as smart as a fourth grader?
