In Tank's
Conditions for Retirement thread , Mr. Wilson offered to 'wait' until he'd written the second highest number of stories on the Archive before going back into retirement again. Many people immediately saw through his shrewd attempt to get out of writing more fanfic, but it did make me wonder -- after Wendy and Tank, just who are FoLCdom's most prolific authors?
With that question in mind, I decided to waste my-- er, spend my evening going through the Archive and seeing just how many stories everyone had. I found the results very interesting, to say the least. I hope you enjoy seeing what I discovered.
This list is based on the stories which were in the L&C Fanfic Archive
www.lcfanfic.com as of May 17, 2003. It does not include nfic titles.
(However, on that note, I found it interesting that incorporating nfic titles into the Top 10 list had relatively little impact. Only two of our ten most prolific Archive authors have written nfic, and only one of those would have her ranking increased -- Wendy is unreachable in the top spot even without her nfic titles, while MLT would move up from 10th to 8th, with an additional 8 unconverted nfics. Kathy Brown, however (that's me
) would move up to #10 with 25 stories (20 Archive + 5 unconverted nfics), bumping Carol M off the top 10 list. Just a few little tidbits, in case someone besides me found them interesting. <g>)
OK, here we go:
FoLCdom's Most Prolific Authors(Stories on the L&C Fanfic Archive, including any co-written stories, as of 5/17/03)
__________
1. Wendy Richards - 92 (68 + 24 cowritten)
2. Tank Wilson -- 57 (38 + 19 cowritten)
3. IRC Round Robin Group -- 52
(FYI for newcomers, this group of RR authors changed slightly from week to week, but the basic core remained the same. Stories were discussed and broadly plotted in the days before writing began which give the stories a tighter continuity. Stories by this group include the Unintentional Season stories and SoulMates Chronicles, plus several stand alones. Round Robin stories on the Archive which were not written by this group of authors are not included in the totals above.)
4. Debby Stark - 39 (29 plus 10 more Dawning chapters not on the Archive)
5. Nan Smith - 36 (incl 1 cowritten)
6. Pam Jernigan - 35 (incl 4 cowritten)
7. Paul-Gabriel Wiener -- 29
8. Zoomway -- 26

Whew! Now I'm definitely ready for bed.
