There are only 100 works now, and I know there were more before (one of mine was # 121, and now none of mine are there) - did you decide to take out lower rated ones, or ones with complete data? Am I missing something?

ETA - tried again and now I can see them all. That was weird. At least it's not lost data.

Thank goodness! You nearly gave me a heart attack there :) I do have a back-up of the data though, just in case anything ever does happen.

I just went and checked myself and there are still 231 fics. You can sort any column you like A-Z, so if you wanted to find yours easily you could sort by author or title. Right now I have it sorted by top/bottom so we can easily see what's needed.

Sorry about that! It was strange, it was all gray after 100, and then i clicked the link again and it was there. Ah well!

So I, ah, dedicated some time to research yesterday, and skimmed through a bunch of the shorter ones. Life is about to get much busier so this might be all from me for a while. The one where Death takes a honeymoon was fun.

I love that you do these. I find this analysis so fascinating.

Thank you ♥♥♥

I find it fascinating too, though I wish I could offer better theories as to *why* any of this is the way it is :) But I think the discussions in the comment sections for some of these posts have been extremely insightful, and I love getting input on this from everyone else. The crowd-sourcing has been even more successful than I'd even hoped. We're nearly there with the top/bottom info for fan-fair!
