Big Master Review List statistics · 2:23pm Jan 29th, 2017
Now that I've got mostly caught up (apparently I missed a Seattle's Angels post somehow) time to do the slow process of updating all the fancy real-time statistic pages. Today's efforts gives us the most reviewed authors list.
I was going to do top ten, as is traditional, but I wanted to include authors that were in the second ten so I did.
Last time I did something like this.
Top Twenty Most reviewed authors, number of stories reviewed:
shortskirtsandexplosions 77
Admiral Biscuit 67
Pascoite 61
Estee 56
PresentPerfect 51

Wait, what's the difference between the first two lists? c.c You put the same header for both. I assume it's stories reviewed vs. actual reviews?
Though I like how Pascoite shoots up to extremely number one on the second after not even appearing on the first.

The difference is that I need to double-check to make changes after I copy/paste something.
Hey, reviewers seem to love him. He's actually #3 on the first list. The top three is the same for both, just in different orders.
4401930
Oh weird, I totally glazed over him. XD That makes more sense.
Holy crap, I made a top list.
4403382
20th most reviewed pony fan fiction author, yep! Actually... Tied with GaPJaxie for 19th place! No, wait, there are other ties. So you are tied with GaPJaxie for... let's see... 16th place.
That is a lot of reviews.
Oh dear. Have I got a lot of catching up to do...
Always interesting to see what the extremes of any trend are, and I see quite a few surprises. For instance, I never would have guessed Pascoite reviews outnumbered shortskirtsandexplosions reviews. Notable and potentially highly relevant differences between the top two lists and the third one as well. Ah, the pleasures of statistics.

The way it works with multiple ties is that some numbers are skipped — your ranking is (1 + the number of people who unambiguously beat you), and you share it with everyone you tied with. Like so:
1. Alice (10 pts)
2. Bob (9 pts)
2. Barry (9 pts)
2. Bill (9 pts)
5. Christine (8 pts)
5. Connor (8 pts)
7. Larry (7 pts)
But yes, great to be in 19th place! Guess I'm just gonna have to actually publish more stories so that number can drift upward …
Edit: … I also love the fact that what tied me for 19th rather than languishing alone at 20th was "Thorax Staghorn and the Mystery of the Bacon Festival", which is blamed on me even though I was too drunk to actually contribute more than a paragraph or two.
