A Very Average AO3 Stats Meme

paranoidangel said that it would probably be interesting to get one that highlighted stories in the middle rather than the same ones at the top and bottom of the various categories and I agreed, but didn't see how. And then I realised that ruuger's stats meme that I've just done was the perfect place to start one, because it requires you to calculate averages. Which does beg the question, how average is my average fic?

So, here we are, some highly unreliable averages and a slightly different AO3 stats meme again:

Average word count: 1702
Average hits count: 283 (wildly skewed by the AO3 hits bug/bots)
Average Kudos count: 14
Average no. of comment threads: 2
Average no. of Bookmarks: 2 (1.6, but technically that should get rounded up rather than down, so...)

Which suggests that my average fic should be about 1702 words, with 14 kudos, 2 comment threads and 1 or 2 bookmarks, which sounds surprisingly correct, actually. Probably Doctor Who or S&S and maybe for a bingo or 500 prompts or something. *nods*

The hits count is, as I said, skewed, however, but there's no way to get the actual number.

( So how true is that? )

And the meme in a text box, should anyone else be up for a bit more navel gazing. (paranoidangel, you are obligated now at some point, since this is all your fault! ;-p)

* My shipfic is so often other people's gen, alas. Also neither villain nor hero in either case were comfortable with shippy shippiness anyway. Just ambiguous shippiness and that mainly in the latter one. Scaroth and Clara do alternately faint into each other's arms, though, which was mostly for plot reasons, although also because I've read Jane Austen's juvenilia.
