...the AO3 has stats?

kraitWhoa!
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...

Date: 2012-06-04 04:00 pm (UTC)I'm still trying to figure out how to parse the info, though. Like, what's the "subscriptions" as opposed to "author subscriptions"? Because I've got some author subscriptions, but no "subscriptions", so I'm not sure what that means. And what exactly are "bookmarkers" bookmarking? My profile? Stories? If that's total bookmarks on individual stories, does that mean both the regular and "rec" type of bookmarks, since AO3 has two types?
(And, er, I looked at my gross word count after you pointed out that it existed, and was shocked that it was so low. "Only a bit over one million? Really?" :P I'd thought I was more tl;dr than that.)
