Stats! Stats! Stats! Stats!*
In 2022 I:
• wrote 4 journal entries
• accessed fanworks in 156 different fandoms
• accessed :
     1 fanwork in 89 fandoms
     2 fanworks in 33 fandoms
     3-5 fanworks in 13 fandoms
     6-10 fanworks in 8 fandoms
     11-20 fanworks in 7 fandoms
     26-55 fanworks in 6 fandoms (my runner-up for the top 5 was "multifandom", because vids)

*These stats are likely not entirely accurate, because I have probably accessed again this year some fanworks that I also accessed in 2022, so they are appearing in my 2023 history rather than 2022

Lurking is an under appreciated talent!

[kiki_eng]

It has its place, yeah.

(It's not an active productive role but my list felt like a lie without its inclusion. I do a lot of lurking.)

[tribble_of_tarth]

I love that you included lurking, and that your stats are of fanworks you accessed! I feel as if I can never include stats because I almost never manage to complete a piece and post it.

I figure emotional investment and time spent counts for something - even if it's pretty invisible lurking is my primary fannish activity these days.

There are a lot of just fic-based stats formats that don't work for me because I haven't published any since 2014(?), I think. Inclusive stats are where it's at - I really liked the phrasing of this day's challenge.
