Fic Tally (February 2018)

February wasn't too prolific due to recovery, but ideas are generating! :)

Fic Tally (2017)

I wrote HOW many stories this year? :)

First, a little background:

I joined LJ in October of 2006 (first post in November), and posted my first story, Announcement I: The Ready Room was a Clark/Bruce tale, and the remaining 3 stories for that year were of that pairing as well.

I counted each year’s stories, and broke them down by pairing, which I’ll discuss below the stats. I used the following method: simple counting, but if a multi-chapter story started in one year and ended in the next, I counted the year it began. Time And Place was posted in 2006 and ended in early 2007.

Naturally I counted a pairing if they were the focus of the story, but if they shared equal ‘screen time’ with another couple or couples, that story was also counted as theirs. In some of my multiple pairing stories, several couples could count it as their story (Strange Brew, The Jig’s Up!, and many others). Ollie/Dinah, for instance, have a number of 8 in the early years, but only 1 story was written with them as the lead couple. The rest are stories they share with others. So if anyone bothered to total the pairings and the story totals, the pairings would be a higher total than the stories.

Here are the statistics, broken down by year and pairing/threesome:
