Notes:

• I hand-counted most of these, so I'm sure there are errors. If you spot any, let me know!


• Counting took a while, so now I'm too lazy to go in and code in all the links and make pretty tables. You'll have to check capitu's list for those!

Wow, this is an awesome post. Interesting!!! Thank you for all the counting. I can not imagine how much work it must have been.

Thank you!

It's easiest to count the HD-centric fests of course, not only because total fics = total HD fics, but because sometimes the mods are helpful and include a total count in their masterlist. The more difficult ones are the non-HD-centric fests, where I have to look through and count the HD's. But the most annoying are the HP fests where the masterlist just gives fic names and authors and no indication of the pairing! (I know the mods do a lot of work so I'm not trying to complain--it was my choice to count these anyway).

I'd like to have a count of other years as well in order to compare and to see just how stable the fandom has been over time, but yeah, kinda too tired to do that just now :)
