Even if we can't draw definite conclusions about noticeable overall trends- I still enjoy looking at the numbers and graphs :D There seems to be smaller fluctuations year to year (and even from one fest to another)- like fandom is constantly reacting to what is being produced. Looking at the graphs for the two fests side by - 2014 is quite interesting. The lowest percent of bottom!harry in Smoochfest but the highest in fanfair! The one variable that seems to be mostly constant for Smoochfest is the overall number of fics featuring any type of penetrative sex (roughly 32-44%). Surprisingly little variation. It's not nearly as constant for fanfair though. :)
