TOP 10 BOOKS ON FANFICTION.NET BASED ON NUMBER OF FANFICTION (1999-2022)
To make this bar chart race, all series titles in the Books Section on November 29 (or the closest date to it) of every year were copy-pasted from Wayback Machine to Google Sheets, rearranged according to number of fanworks, and then inputted to Flourish to turn into a bar chart race.
Hitchhiker’s Guide to […] is short for Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Romance of the 3 […] is short for Romance of the 3 Kingdoms.
In 2000-2003, FFN used Miscellaneous Novels as a catch-all tag for all books that didn’t have their own category yet. It was then renamed to Misc. Books in 2004-2007 before it was removed by 2008.
In 1999, fanfiction weren’t divided into sections like Anime/Manga, TV, Books, etc. yet. It was just a small list of mixed fandoms.
Anne Rice Vampire Chronicles was actually in third place in the year 2000 with 126 fanfiction. However, it was the only year FFN had fanfiction for her works, that’s why it doesn’t turn up in the bar chart race.
In 2001, a new category called Harry Potter Author Fics was in 4th place with 888 fanfiction, but this category was removed by the following year.
FFN also hosted Vampire Hunter fanfiction in 2001-2002, but was later on removed because its author L. K. Hamilton didn’t want fanfiction of her works.
The Tamora Pierce category was in the Books Section from 2001-2009 as a catch-all category for Pierce’s works before it was removed by 2009.
Similarly, the L.J. Smith category was in the Books Section from 2000-2007 as a catch-all category for Smith’s works before it was removed sometime in 2009.
I’ve decided to keep the author categories in the bar chart race since most if not all of their series did not get their own category until their author’s category was removed.
Originally, the fanfiction list was sorted alphabetically too, but was changed to number of fics at around early 2013.
By November 2013, FFN started abbreviating numbers above 1,000 to K, so exact numbers aren’t available for series with more than 1,000 fanfiction.
This bar chart was made with the assumption that the numbers listed in the Books section are correct. I can’t seem to get the same numbers for some of these series when I go to the specific series’ page and toggle ratings, other filters, and language to All though… I’m not sure where the discrepancy is coming from. (And it’s not the crossover fic numbers that need to be added to serie’s total fics from what I’ve observed.)
For example, HP currently has 844k fanfiction, but if you go to HP’s page and toggle ratings, other filters, and language to All, you’ll only get 800k fics. HP also has 51.3K crossover fanfiction, but adding those two still doesn’t equate to 844k…

Thanks for understanding and hopefully I didn’t mess up anywhere! 🙏
I like just deciding to believe things. Ajin is now about gays. Ajins are gays. Straights don’t see em as people. Alter ego straights can’t percieve unless theyre tryna kill em. When they get loud they can stun straights (why the hell is a gay speaking up). Can usually pass, but some chads choose not to. Insanely powerful when they fully embrace being gay. Would love to lock other gays up in barrels or crashed trucks or whatever (haha just kidding…unless?). Maybe or maybe not add enrichment to their enclosure. Apparently skilled enough to remove and package organs like fuckin hearts?? Uhhh would not hesitate to jump into a woodchipper and fry their hand like friend chicken. Yeah sorry everybody ajin is about being gay now.
sometimes someone isn’t “toxic,” they’re just “abrasive.” or “mutagenic” or “highly flammable,” and you should always check their material safety data sheet to be sure
It’s fundraiser night, so everyone gets the same spaghetti dinner for $10 or whatever. Or maybe certain nights the restaurant part only serves spaghetti. Point is, everyone is eating spaghetti.
The show is going fine. It’s a custom written show specifically for spaghetti night, so nobody in the audience has ever seen it before and won’t know how it ends. It’s a bit of a murder mystery mixed with fantasy or something. The big twist at the end? How was the murderer hiding the bodies? Well, he ground up the bodies to make meatballs, used the blood to thicken up spaghetti sauce, and bought angel hair pasta at Walmart. By the time the twist comes around almost everybody would be on to whatever desert is being served, and it would be pretty funny if it was like ice cream and the spoons they gave you to eat with were shaped like shovels (which was the murder weapon at the beginning of the show).
Getting a bit more into logistics I guess you’d have to make it, like, horror themed to begin with so the patrons don’t get too surprised and disgusted by the implication that they just ate a human body (and obviously they’re not ACTUALLY eating a human body, it’s just normal spaghetti). I guess you’d have to workshop it a bit cus I’d definitely want to go for more of a comedic reveal about the food instead of a drama/horror thing, but it might be a stretch to convince people it’s funny that they consumed a human corpse.
Just a reminder that kids in school right now should under NO CIRCUMSTANCES be failing. Failing is a punishment- it directly affects the child, usually just in that they have to retake a class (which could postpone graduation which REALLY fucks you up) but most schools do other punishments like detention or even suspension (bro had detention online and it SUCKED. Guess who wants to do school even less now).
School IS important, and giving children a sense of normalcy IS important, and I think it’s great that school is still happening and children are still learning! But we do NOT need to carry over the ineffective and harmful punishment practices to our online schooling in this time of crisis. It’s not hard to acknowledge and congratulate students who are currently doing well without punishing or shaming students who are not.
