AO3 Hockey RPF Wrapped 2024

Summary:

Graphs, statistical analysis & some fun colours

Notes:

Dataset: Every work published or updated between 1st Jan 2024 to 31st Dec 2024 in the Men’s Hockey RPF fandom, extracted on the 9th January 2024

Python libraries: matplotlib, seaborn, networkx, community & statsmodel.api

Due to the mutability of ao3 posting dates, it is not possible for the numbers to be entirely accurate

Ethical considerations: all authors included in the author popularity graphs (that I could find on tumblr) have been contacted, and notified that graphs will be removed on their request

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

For comparisons, read side by side with graphs from last year




Introductory Graphs

Graph

NB: these statistics are based on works published or updated in 2024, (i.e. 78k comments were left on works which were published or updated in 2023, as opposed to 78k comments being written in the year of 2023)

Graph

NB: The spike in April is a result of the theres_only_1_u_2024 fandom event

Other fandom events this year include:

February: HRPF V Day Exchange

March: Pittsburgh Penguins Angst Fest

June: Sid Geno Exchange 2024

July: Puck Luck Fest
Not a Cow Fest

The lines indicate co-occurrences (i.e. characters that appear in the same work together) there are. 

The colours are scaled by: characters with the most number of connections to characters with the least number of connections.
