NERDING OUT with the ff_press reboot and archiving stats!

[justira]

Hey so it's my turn to do the ff_press stat post!

Archiving stats: We hit 6,000 bookmarks today! And gosh we still have AGES to go. At this rate, renay and I predict we'll be in the low 20 thousands when we catch up with current issues. GUYS. Guys! THINK HOW AWESOME THAT WILL BE. Over twenty thousand awesome FF fandom links at your fingertips! Categorized by medium, canon, and characters? I MEAN REALLY GUYS.

But for now we are still toddling along at a measly 6K. HA HA.

Our 6,000th bookmark was:
ladybug_tales: Jenova Corp Shooting (Cloud, Sephiroth, Zack) (PG13) (9,062 words)
Another FFVII, unsurprisingly, but refreshingly long! =D

Bookmark total: 6059
Fanfic total: 3489
Most popular character: Cloud (579) has pulled WAY ahead of Balthier (510)!
Most popular pairing: (still) Ashe/Balthier (257) but watch out, Gippal/Rikku (233) is catching up!
Most popular (single) game: FFVIII

But I think those stats are a little boring, because they almost always stay the same! So here are some stats from the middle of the pile, or on more obscure topics:

Most popular pre-FFVII character: Rydia! =D More popular than AURON! =O

Second and third most popular ships (because we all know the most popular ones):
FFVII: Cloud/Reno, Reno/Rufus (go Reno, go!)
FFX/X-2: Baralai/Gippal, Rikku/Wakka
FFXII: Balthier/Basch, Larsa/Penelo

Most popular F/F ship: Aeris/Tifa
Most popular poly: Kadaj/Loz/Yazoo
How about the same for outside VII? Paine/Rikku and Celes/Locke/Setzer!

Some tasty summons lovin':
Diablos/Squall
Shiva/Yojimbo
Ultima/Zodiark


Now, we've been up to some pretty exciting things since the last round, including adding brand new categories! We're still working on re-sorting the older links into these categories, but they'll be used for new stuff from now on!

Resources: Screenshots, game scripts, translations, scans, raw vids and music uploaded for your use and pleasure!

FSTs/Music: What it says on the tin -- we felt there were enough of these and they were awesome enough to merit a category.

RP: RPs now have their own categories =D

Doujinshi: This category is provisional, but if we keep it, all your doujinshi translations, scans, scanlations, and doujins for sale will go here!
