Yes that was my idea. Though now I did some research (I'm kidding. I read in the Criminal Minds wiki) and now I'm considering going more in the direction 'good old-fashioned stalker' (still with some overlap as in 'Stalker is just searching for a friend/something' and not sexually motivated because I'd be uncomfortable writing non-con (do such stalkers even exist? If not I could probably get away with going 'In the Marvel-universe they do')). Which of course would mean more work because I'd need to write the whole set-up, Foggy getting creped out by random gifts and stuff and also that I would have to throw out like half of what I have already written because it is 'Foggy waking up in a basement and wondering what the hell happened' which would of course be very different when he weird stuff had already happened to him.

*breaks down sobbing*
Writing one-shots about Matt getting turned in random animals is so much easier.

I have elemental-based wizard-magic in mind but what I'm planing also involve demons (because why just make things complicated when you can also make it REALLY complicated?) and you now made me realize that I haven't thought that much about the basis of their magic...(slowly changing it to alternating POVs is sounding better and better...)

But thanks <3

D/s AUs are so my jam. I'm probably not even going to write porn (although that is a thing I have started to do). I'm having an identity crises about if I am a gen writer or not. But this one will not through my rep in to question.

I think that you can leave out any non-con if you don't want to write it! If anything the serial killer could be trying to repress sexual feelings for family member being replaced and get all crazy and hurt people in his/her denial.

I am really excited because I thought your idea sounded really good. I would be willing to Beta if you want more help!

AYRT

"Brain cancer" is a pretty huge blanket that has all kinds of presentations and all kinds of progressions. With that comes all kinds of potential complications. It's my headcanon because it's the only thing I can think of that really could fit, even though the vast majority of cases don't present the Doris seems to.

Ah yes that is mine!!

And honestly, I don't think porn is at all necessary in a d/s AU (although I never complain haha). If you wrote it as gen, I would be more than happy eep!

Does anyone want to help scrape data by hand?

(Anonymous) 2015-08-14 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I've been playing around with some daredevil fandom stats in the past, I scraped all the data for the first prompt of the kinkmeme a long, long time ago. (Like when it was just two prompt posts.)

And there is a lot of interesting stuff I and anyone else interested in fandom stats could do with that data but collected over a longer period of time. It's just that that first day, scraping 1,000 prompts took all day long. (That's only a little bit of an exaggeration.)
And now there are 5+ kinkmeme prompt pages.

I was thinking, I'd make a spread sheet for the information I want to collect, and then assign anyone interested in helping me a prompt post and page numbers within those prompt posts to fill.

The work load right now looks like this:

Number of pages in each:

Prompt 1 39
Prompt 2 31
Prompt 3 26
Prompt 4 24
Prompt 5 31

That's 151 prompts pages (when I guessed on my tumblr I guessed 150. For a total between 3650 prompts and 3775 prompts on the kinkmeme. Since each page has a maximum 25 prompts in it.)

Anyone anyone willing to do this with me would be a huge help.

But to give some perspective, if I had 30 people working on this, they would each read through and take notes on 5 pages (125 prompts) which would take less than two hours. It could be done in a day

If, when I had this all sorted out, and people got back to me within a week, it would be done in that time.

If fifteen people were willing to work with me for two hours a day once a week for two weeks it would be done in a half a month. Which is about how long it would take me working my ass off almost every single day in that time span.

And so on, and so forth.

Five people, doing five pages a week would take 6 weeks. (And, actually, since I would be one of those people, I'd only need four others willing to help.)

So, again, this is just my outline for how much work is involved. If anyone is interested in helping I would feel comfortable assigning a minimum of one page (25 prompts).

What this means for anyone helping is they get to reread a random part of the kinkmeme that they maybe haven't seen or don't remember well. I remember the last time I did this I discovered tones of knew prompts that I missed the first time I read through the kinkmeme.

And, for reference, here is some of the data I am collecting. I absolutely want: data posted, main pairing, secondary parining(s)*, other mentioned pairings**,

I would be intrested to look at what gets filled: has it been filled? What is the word count of the fill? What pairing(s) from the original prompt does the fill use.

Also: is it a cross over? (if so, with what?) is a character disabled who isn't normally? is it RPF? is it asking for a polly pairing or is it open to one?


*This is like Matt/Foggy preferred by Matt & Foggy fine.
** This is where the prompts talks about say, Karen/Claire but also mentions that Matt/Foggy is a thing in the background.

I'm reworking that plot point based on your suggestions and it's a lot better than what I planned originally

OP: I've done more work.
There are about 4851 prompts as of the closing of prompt post 5 on this kinkmeme.
It would be really cool to get an accurate understanding of what the fills per prompt ratio is.

But anyway, I have my spread sheet all outlined.

I think going by the word count of a fill is hard considering that many are WIP and may never be finished. So I'm trashing that idea. (Plus, I scraped some data that way and I mean it's not that much more difficult, but it really isn't useful, at least that's what I think.)

Write now my spread sheet looks like this

I am super interested in this.

However, I know that the mod is also trying to get all the prompts into delicious as well. So, maybe we reach out and see if we could do both at the same time? It would make sense, since we're already going through the prompts. Then we could add a column for tags on delicious and a checkbox that it's there?

Also, what are you planning on doing with the data? Is it just a curiosity thing? Were you planning to post it publicly here on the meme. I have friends who look at fandom fairly academically and might be interested in it too since it could have real research applications.

Also, maybe some cross-scraping with data from AO3? I'd be curious to see how many fics here get cross-posted there, and if they do which authors write a lot of fills for this meme under their own name there. Also, the percentage of DD stories on AO3 that were generated by this meme vs. not, since those from this meme are generally in that collection.

Oh! And we should be tracking how many prompts here fall into being technically "kink" vs. non-kink, since this was originally supposed to be a kinkmeme (or even just sexual vs. non-sexual).

I mean, if you're going to collect data, collect data, right? lol

Reach out to me on my Tumblr. I am enthusiasmgirl (yes the one running the challenge on the Challenge Post). :D

SA as above here. We also discussed the podcast! And so if we scrape the data, we could also talk about it there!

That would make sense! I don't know how to do delicious though.

My fandom stats tag (a couple months back) covers a lot of my thoughts about this. I'd been trying to rescrape the data ever since I finished page 1, but I burned myself out really bad and haven't been able to get back into it. (Because it's just such a huge, huge project. I looked into bot scrapping but people much more knowledgeable than me said that DreamWidth's API is trash and half the stuff I wanted to scrape couldn't be done so that way. So.)

you are such a cool person. When I look at the projects you've got going on I'm a little jelly that I'm not as cool. XD

and then I do something like revisit this thing.

I love that the internet exists and provides a corner of the world where scraping data about daredevil fandom and doing a podcast on the ins and outs of fanfic writing is considered cool.

Where was that when I was in high school? lol
