TVD Word Count: ~168,318

*is slightly inaccurate due to a process of tokenization - which consists of splitting a text into its several parts (e.g. "Sebastian's boss doesn't smoke. -> "Sebastian", "'s", "boss", "does", "n't", "smoke") - beforehand -- I needed to work around having multiple tokens that made up one word (e.g. how "doesn't" is one word but is made up of "does" and "n't"), which I tried my best to account for but some tokens may still slip past

TVD Average Word Length: ~4.25 characters/word

FIF Word Count: ~365,069 words

FIF Average Word Length: ~4.39 characters/word

TVD Sentence Count: ~18,926 sentences

TVD Average Sentence Length: ~8.89 words/sentence

FIF Sentence Count: ~42,250.5 sentences *the .5 possibly stems from a forgotten quotation mark

FIF Average Sentence Length: ~8.64 words/sentence

-> This indicates a slight change in sentence length, with TVD having slightly longer sentences on average than FIF

The fics TVD (11,268 tokens) & FiF (19,031 tokens) have this many tokens in common: 7,493

The fics have an overlap of 24.73%

The Type Token Ratio for TVD (0.05) and for FIF (0.04)

*The Type Token Ratio (TTR) refers to how versatile a text is in its choice of words. It compares the complete Tokens (as already mentioned above) of a text with the overall Types in a text, which basically mean the occurrence of one unique Token [e.g. "Sebastian's boss doesn't like Sebastian's cigarettes" -> the types "Sebastian" and "'s" occur 2x, every other type exactly 1x; the overall sentence has 9 Tokens but 7 Types]. The closer the TTR is to 0, the more variety a text has to offer.

-> The TTR for both TVD and FiF are very close to 0, which is an indicator for their varied choice of words. However, FiF has a minisculy larger TTR, but this can be chalked up to its length being so much bigger than TVD. I'd say TVD and Fif are overall pretty varied with ca. equal levels of different choice of words.

Most frequently used Tokens:

TVD: TOKENS - FREQ | FIF: TOKENS - FREQ

1 you - 9,953 | the - 14,439

2 the - 6,651 | you - 11,791

3 and - 5,205 | to - 8,857

98 way - 264 | looked - 641

99 right - 263 | into - 641

100 want - 263 | Moriarty - 639

-> Note how the ranking of "you" and "the" switches places from TVD to FiF,,, that was so funny to me.

Most frequently used Bigrams:

*A Bigram means a Token Grouping of 2 that occur right next to each other in a text. "Sebastian killed him", for example, would consist out of the Bigrams "Sebastian killed" and "killed him".

TVD: BIGRAMS - FREQ | FIF: BIGRAMS - FREQ

. “ - 3,475 | . “ - 8,179

. ” - 2,220 | . ” - 6,621

You 're - 1,818 | ” “ - 6,178

? ” - 1,480 | ? ” - 4,087

” “ - 1,399 | , ” - 2,490

96 again , - 142 | Sherlock said - 294

97 for a - 140 | he 'd - 293

98 there 's - 139 | you 've - 291

99 one of - 139 | ” he - 291

100 back . - 139 | “ Yeah - 291

-> Particularly interesting to me is the frequency of ” “, which marks how often a closing quotation mark was followed by an opening one. Or: how often was a quote directly followed with another quote without any dialoge markers?

Most frequently used pronouns:

TVD: PRONOUN - FREQ | FIF: PRONOUN - FREQ

you - 9,953 | you - 11,791

he - 4,401 | it - 6,257

your - 3,182 | I - 5,898

it - 2,823 | he - 5,263

his - 2,425 | she - 4,533

-> Note how the existance of white hat chapters is clearly noticable in the pronoun frequency - especially with "she" making it into the Top 5 :')

Honorable Mentions:

In the overall Token frequency, in TVD "Jim" came in 26th place (Freq.: 916), which just happens to be lower than the frequency of "Sherlock" in FiF - with 2,087 mentions, it took 25th place… I know Jim's fuming over that somewhere lmao

"men", "sex" & "bedroom" all share one place with 55 mentions, and "fucking", "gun" & "home" all share one place with 54 mentions - if that isn't mormor in a nutshell, I don't know what else is haha

When I grouped the words into word classes, "Jim" took the first place of the TVD nouns with a frequency of 916 occurrences; a mention of "Moriarty", however, occurs 237 times and takes 7th place.

The first 3 most frequent nouns in FiF were Sherlock (Freq.: 2,084), Mary (Freq.: 1,146) and John (Freq.: 1,014).
