the party of the summer

ICYMI, we shared awards in 7 categories over the weekend, so now we’re gonna wrap things up with a stats roundup! 

Edits with still images were by far the most popular, and these were most often inspired by song lyrics and other works. Gifsets or edits including gifs were the second most popular creation, most often using the color prompt. Fanfiction was third, and the most exclusive category was fanart.

The party had 22 creators in attendance:

2 fanartists (@pupzbitez, @tskunk)

3 (predominantly) giffer (@ivarthebadbitch, @timetravelingpenguin1066, @deans-ch-ch-cherrypiepie)

4 (predominantly) fanfic writers (@volvaaslaug, @ulfrsmal, Adazzle (ao3 only), @persephones-journey)

13 edit makers (@skatingthinandice, @remembertheskittles, @emilyhufflepufftlk, @aethelreds, @solinarimoon, @erruvande, @mrsalwayswrite, @malenamoonlight, @aethelflead, @amuddleofnervouswords, @scarletvhope, @magravenwrites, @aadmelioraa, @aelflaeds)

In general there was overlap between the gifmakers and editors, with 2 of the gifmakers also contributing multiple edits with still images. While 9 people submitted fanfiction, only 4 the fanfiction writers did so primarily or exclusively.
