#podfic statistics

I looked at the Podfic tag on AO3 and filtered by data updated and various fandom tags, while logged in.

Another discord discussion on the rise and fall of certain RPF fandoms and podfic popularity vs. overall popularity of a fandom prompted me to make another comparison graph on AO3 fanworks for these fandoms. Check it out; the prevalence of podfic for a fandom isn’t closely correlated with the overall size of the fandom.

I got these numbers using the work search function while logged in. For the podfic numbers, I relied on the “Podfic” tag, which not all podfics on the archive use....

For Fanlore purposes I looked at the rise in popularity of MDZS podfic, first just the raw numbers, and then as a percentage of all the MDZS fanworks posted during the same interval. December isn’t over yet, and I suspect a not insignificant number of MDZS podfics were created for ITPE but haven’t been posted yet.

Data collected from AO3′s work search while logged in, using the tags 魔道祖师 - 墨香铜臭 | Módào Zǔshī - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù and Podfic.
