Franzeska (@olderthannetfic) has done a nice analysis of shipping in nearly 700 FFN fics:

It is amazing how het-centric it is, coming from an AO3 perspective.  But this aligns (in terms of relative ranking, if not exact numbers) with my much smaller recent look at ~100 FFN works (as part of my Gender Representation in Movie Fandoms analysis): 

However, Franzeska’s FFN analysis is almost certainly more accurate (because it’s based on a bigger sample*), and it also includes other categories like Gen.  Yay!  Looking forward to citing and reusing her stats in future work.

I’m hoping to have some Wattpad shipping stats soonish for comparison – from what I’ve seen so far, it’s also way more het-focused than AO3.

fwiw she’s been at it since ‘09 and long before

I’m tempted to read it beyond a paragraph, but, the last time I went against my own “#hoe don’t it” advice, I made a blog and I’m now trying to recover my state of mind from the fractured anxiety ridden mess it is.
