Re: Does anyone want to help scrape data by hand?

[(Anonymous)]

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

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

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
