The result of last night’s processing -- maybe I should start a KoFi for the increase in my electric bill 😅
Anyway, have a preview of a different type of WIP. Like in previous posts, this looks at the gendered pronoun usage (Engilsh: he/him/his/himself, she/her/hers/herself) in the top 80 publicly accessible fics by bookmark on AO3. (80 because I forgot the world doesn’t index on 0 ha ha anyway). Also like before, we can take an in-depth look at the verbs associated with he and she: does she go, and he stays? Alternatively, what does he do that she does not, and vice versa? Now using SpaCy’s dependency parse of morphology rules instead of bigrams.
Something else I look at this time are the people or objects she and he interact with. Does she slay the vampire, and he share the bed? Coming soon to Google Data Studio maybe, or Heroku if I get fed-up with limited choices.
P.S. to any writers out there, with or without popular fics: if there was a chance your work would show up in a study like this, would you prefer it to be anonymized? ie title, author, and URL removed from the dataset.
