December 2020 was the first month I read MDZS fic and I thought it would be interesting to see how much I read in the first flush of fannish enthusiasm, so I used a spreadsheet to keep track of everything I read. Turns out, I read 1,004,141 words in a little more than two weeks and had enough fun tracking it that I decided to keep a fic reading spreadsheet for the whole year of 2021.
Here are my 2021 results:
I recorded reading a total of
848 fics in 2021. This includes everything I liked enough to finish reading, plus a few WIPs and most full rereads, although it doesn't include partial rereads or fics I started reading but DNF'd.
848 fics in one year is way, way more than my average, which is probably typically closer to 1-3 fics per week and has, in my going-on-two-decades in fandom, occasionally been closer to 1-3 fics per
year. Really goes to show the impact
a new fandom (
or three) can have!
