As all time zones are now well into the month of June, I guess it's time for a little statistic and wrap-up post.

I must say I'm deeply impressed by you guys. The participation was way above my expectations, and it makes me so happy to see that people have really thrown themselves into this challenge and created so much amazing fic and art.

This year was our 5th year running this fest, and we had 16 participants.

An extra shoutout goes to the five who managed daily posting, which I think is the highest number yet.

Congratulations! You are all brilliant! three of these followed our suggested pairings the entire month, that's remarkable!

Below follows some random stats:

  • ETA: total word count was 175800 (give or take a few words)

  • 16 participants

  • 5 participants managed daily posting

  • 3 writers followed our suggested pairings every single day

  • 269 posts

  • 2 artists

  • 5 pieces of art

  • 84 different pairings

  • 13 threesomes

  • 1 Slytherin orgy

  • The most popular ship was by far Harry/Draco with 67 posts by 9 different participants

  • 55 ships were only used once

  • [livejournal.com profile] sweetsorcery had the highest average word count (1891)

  • [livejournal.com profile] kitty_fic wrote next-gen ships in all their posts

  • [livejournal.com profile] digthewriter had the highest word count (23k), wrote the longest post (4900 words), and was also the only person to create both fic and art

In case some of you feel they have a story or a series they haven't wrapped up yet, I hope you will still pay some attention to this community the next few days. Even if we have entered June.

I hope you enjoyed playing in the hp_may_madness. Who knows, we might be back next year if people still want to play...

Thank you so much for playing! nim and I are so proud of you all!

I thought this looked like it had to be the best year yet which naturally sent me off to dig up other year's stats to compare.

2012: 130 entries, 14 participants, 2 with 31 entries
2013: 178 entries, 20 participants, 3 with 31 entries
2014: 217 entries, 17 participants, 4 with 31 entries
2015: 104 entries, 12 participants, 1 with 31 entries
2016: 269 entries, 16 participants, 5 with 31 entries

I think it's safe to say that, in spite of not having the highest number of participants, we did knock this one out of the park. :D

This was such a fun fest! I really enjoyed myself. Thank you for running it, it was such fun to write for pairings I've never even read myself before! :D

Awesome stats!
And, as Torino said, we clearly knocked it out of the park. :)

Awesome!

Very sorry I couldn't stick with it all month but I enjoyed the week or so that I did play along! And I loved the stories I created and the inspiration the community inspired!

Thank you! ♥
