Data & Statistics: AO3 Cinderella Boy - Punko (Webcomics)
I know how much you guys like data analysis, so I took the liberty of clearing up my weekend in order to start work on this mini-project.
Starting us off easy, we can look at the fics by month.
All this graph shows is the number of fics uploaded in a given month. It's non-cumulative meaning at the start of each month, the count is reset to zero.
The data for this graph begins when the first Cinderella Boy fic was posted in July 2023 and continues until July 2026. August is not on here because I didn't want to remake this graph every day until finishing this post.
Highlights from this graph:
The three highest datapoints were Jan '26 (114), Dec '25 (111), and Oct '25 (100)
The greatest spike in fics was from Nov '25 (65) to Dec '25 (111) a +46 fic difference
The Greatest drop in fics was from Oct '25 (100) to Nov '25 (65)
The three months with the highest average fic count were Jan(56), Jun(55), and Jul/Dec tied at (49)
Just for fun, I wanted to share what the cumulative graph of CBfics looks like. This one is showing how many AO3 fics existed at a given point in time.
Now for the author stats.
Sorting by creator, there are at least 317 of you. One of you is my new email password.
For the criteria I followed, pseudonyms were counted as one author with the fic total summed across all pseuds. Similarly, I added some orphaned fics back to accounts with the same name, if there was a username attached to the orphaned work. Fics by multiple authors added a value of "1" per writer. If you were to add up the number of fics I have paired to an author, you would get a higher number than there are total fics.
That's a lot of names to read through, so I put it into an easily digestible pie chart.
oh my god this is so impressive
also shines a slightly different light on a few of your recent posts lollllll

Yeah the posts let you watch the progression of this in real time.
