Whoa!

Poking around my AO3 page on my leisurely way to seeing how much stuff I have "Marked for Later", I noticed a link called "Statistics", and clicked on it out of idle curiosity.

There were graphs! Hit counts! Gross word counts! Subscription counts, which I'd been wondering about yesterday! Seven different sorting methods!

Almost as amazing as the total word count feature (where has this been all my life, it is awesome!) is the fact that I have 11 bookmarkers! I thought I had one; seeing "11" in that field rather boggled me. o.O

While I'm sure most of my reading list is unimpressed by 11 as a bookmark count (fair; I've got fics bookmarked that have twice as many bookmarkers!), I am going to carry on feeling delighted regardless. It was "1" for so long that I forgot to notice the word, so this barrelled me over.

(Tomorrow: check out the one or two people who have bookmarked two of my fics, because given my stuff's almost-total tiny-fandom sources, they must be awesome people and might lead me to more fic in underappreciated fandoms!

Funniest of all, though, is that I have absolutely no memory of ever having seen the "Statistics" tab before. Did they just put that up? How long have I been oblivious?



Editing to add:

I keep staring at my word count and feeling a slow tidal rise of glee. Look at this:

Word Count 15886

That makes me feel so much more productive, I can't even express it. 15,000 words! That is a respectable heap of words, even if it boils down to a handful of sonnets and some ficlets whose largest members top out around 2,000 words each.

15,000!

...Help, I'm suddenly starting to consider unwisely ambitious goals for the rest of 2012...

With subscriptions, yeah, that's the only thing I can figure, but it would be nice if they were a little clearer about it. I remember when I first saw that stat, I was like ".... :(" because I know I've got something like 100 people who have me on Author Alert on ff.net, and I was expecting maybe a few at AO3... And then I noticed "author subscriptions" above and at least that was more what I expected (nowhere near 100, hahah, but indeed, more than 0).

And eh, the word count totally confused me at first, because there were no commas, and I was like "What do you MEAN my total word count is a little over a hundred thousand? I've got one fic that's over 100,000 all on its own, and multiple others over 50,000... oh wait. *painstakingly counts tiny digits* ...Hmm. Well, better..." But I've been writing fic for like 15 years, and most of the stuff that's been written at least within the last 10 (which wasn't a silly commentboxed fill for a meme) is uploaded there. I thought I was longer-winded than that. ;)
