Swiggity_swydra_fuck_hydra. They're one of the slavefic authors and they've just started crossposting their work onto AO3 after working on their fic for a few months on the meme.
As of this morning, that one fic has clocked in at 89k words. 89k words! That is nuts. (by which I mean, 'dude, IMPRESSIVE, wow'.)
But follow me now - that means that there has been nearly ninety thousand words on the kinkmeme from only one author. That's the kind of off-balance thing people are pointing out. They're saying, 'yeah, there's a lot of slavefic on the meme right now but it's only being written by a few people' because it's true.
89k! Put that in perspective - most fics don't break 1k, even fewer get up to 5k. Just looking at the volume of work being done, that means it looks like there's anywhere between 18 to 90 people creating content on the meme. But there's not. It's one person who is just tearing it up right now. (to be absolutely clear, that was a compliment.)
And that's only one of the slavefic WIPs running right now. It doesn't include the other fics, or the comments on each chapter as they come out. For someone looking at the meme from the outside (and the inside, tbh) it looks like an army of slavefic fans have happily gathered here and are grinding out content like a well oiled machine. But it's not an army. It's a few very prolific writers and the fans who love what they're doing. And that's not a bad thing! Keep doing your thing!
But it's also not a bad thing to point out that hey, the numbers are a bit skewed here.
