TOP 10 MOVIES ON FANFICTION.NET BASED ON NUMBER OF FANFICTION (1999-2022)
To make this bar chart race, all series titles in the Movies Section on November 29 (or the closest date to it) of every year were copy-pasted from Wayback Machine to Google Sheets, rearranged according to number of fanworks, and then inputted to Flourish to turn into a bar chart race.
In 2000-2006, FFN used Miscellaneous Movies as a catch-all tag for all books that didn’t have their own category yet. It was then renamed to Misc. Movies in 2007 before it was removed by 2008.
In 1999, fanfiction weren’t divided into sections like Anime/Manga, TV, Books, etc. yet. It was just a small list of mixed fandoms.
You can’t see it in the bar chart because there were lots of movements at the time, but in 2000, Austin Powers and The Professional were tied in 8th place with 4 fics. A Little Princess, Evil Dead/Army of Darkness, Monty Python, Rocky Horror and Shaolin Brothers and Sisters were tied in 9th place with 3 fics.
Originally, the fanfiction list was sorted alphabetically too, but was changed to number of fics at around early 2013.
By November 2013, FFN started abbreviating numbers above 1,000 to K, so exact numbers aren’t available for series with more than 1,000 fanfiction.
This bar chart was made with the assumption that the numbers listed in the Movies section are correct. I can’t seem to get the same numbers for some of these series when I go to the specific series’ page and toggle ratings, other filters, and language to All though… I’m not sure where the discrepancy is coming from. (And it’s not the crossover fic numbers that need to be added to serie’s total fics from what I’ve observed.)
Please refer to this post for more bar chart races.
Thanks for understanding and hopefully I didn’t mess up anywhere! 🙏
