A Little Factual Information:
I've heard/read/come across a shitload of complaints about how slash/yaoi/etc. is taking over the Harry Potter Fandom.
Let's do a little math, shall we?
At the exact point in time that I'm writing this (October 9, 2008, 3:36am PST), there are exactly 374,937 stories posted in the Harry Potter category. Now, if you go to search category: Harry Potter, and type in the following search terms, these are the numbers you come up with:
Slash: 27,968
Yaoi: 1,382
Yuri: 157
Femslash: 712
Shonen Ai: 84
That comes to a grand total of 30,303. Add a few hundred for those with no warnings and subtract those with two or more of the above terms or that are stating "no slash", and we can say there are maybe 31,000 to 31,500 homosexually centered Harry Potter fanfics on this website (at least in that category, if you don't count crossovers).
Now, my math may not be the worlds greatest, but I'm pretty sure that 374,937 minus 31,000 is 343,937.
Please. Someone tell me how the hell...
Het/Gen: approx 344,000
Slash: approx 31,000
...means that homosexally inclined fanfiction is taking over the fandom. Please. Tell me.
Because that makes no sense whatsoever.
Never mind just the Harry Potter category. Lets make it the entire website.
Because I'm not willing to sit here for hours and tally up the fanfic population of the entire website (though if anyone is that bored to do it for me, much love to you) I'm going to say, just by glancing through the eight main categories, that there are at least 4.5 million stories on FFN. Let's redo that search, shall we?
Slash: 62,944
Yaoi: 48,554
Yuri: 4,358
Femslash: 3,377
Shonen Ai: 5,255
Total: 124,488. Again, adding those who don't put warnings and subtracting those who put the terms in simply to say that their story doesn't have it or use more than one, I would say the outcome looks something like this:
Het/Gen: 4, 374,000
Slash: 126,000
For the entire website. Anti-Slashers, please. I beg of you. If you are going to accuse us of anything, please don't let it be that we're taking over your precious fansite. All it shows is that your math is worse than mine and that you have nothing better to do than complain about something you don't even have to read. I mean, honestly. If you're dumb enough to click the button after you've been warned, that isn't our fault.
So please, on behalf of all annoyed slash writers, stop accusing us of taking over your favorite website. If anything, you're taking over ours.
If you agree with the above statement, please repost this. If you don't agree, kindly...BUG OFF!
