Top Tables: What Does It Take To Get Up There?
This is a more unified version of the bins listed in the main stat roundups. Fic writing is not a competition; These numbers are listed purely for fun. The main purpose is to encourage people. Some of those benchmarks are lower than you might have expected them to be, and seeing them might allow you to feel a sense of accomplishment ✨
Those are the bins for all of AO3. Specific fandoms might have higher or lower values at each of those percentage points. Fandom-specific data summary might be collated in the future pending interest.
