The SVM Fanfic Report: Top 30 at 30 (May)

I created the @SVMFanfic Twitter account approximately 30 days ago. The purpose of this account is to send out the latest SVM Fanfiction updates and stories. And for people who do not wish to get a Twitter account or follow @SVMFanfic, they can still view the tweets from any page on my blog. It's located in the right column under Live! SVM and TB Updates. 

Without getting too technical, this account syncs with the Fanfiction feeds (SVM and TB) and sends out new fics and chapter updates automatically. I am also able to Tweet updates and info when I come across it.

Since I work, in a public sector world and we are all about dashboards now ... I thought I'd create a sort of dashboard post for you guys. Dashboards are meant to be high level and easy to read (many times visually appealing). This dashboard post will report out every 30 days; and will include some interesting statistics I receive from the @SVMFanfic at account and other related statistics I have at my disposal.

I am calling this report the Top 30 at 30 because the main feature of it will be the Top 30 fanfiction stories clicked in the 30 days from feed. This first report won't be as visually appealing as I would like, but I will work on the best way to create the dashboard as I move along.



Transparency Disclaimer

Let me say that the @SVMFanfic account isn't perfect. Here are some known issues:

1. I developed it to sync with Fanfiction.net. If that site is not working properly, then it won't send out any fics.
2. Since Fanfiction.net did not set up their feed language (atom) properly, it does not always post chapter updates. repeat stories sometimes because of the way Fanfiction updates their feed.
3. If you post your story via another site such as Fandomfiction.com or your personal blog; it will not automatically feed to the account.

My proposed fix for these issues is to ask that the fic writers either mention @SVMFanfic or @Sapfirerose; or use the tags #FFalert or #FanFicAlert. I will receive a notification if you do any of those, and will be able to tweet your update.

OK ... enough techie chatter for now. Here's this month's Top 30 at 30.

So there you have it.  I hope that next month the ranks and statistic numbers will go up.  AND I hope you guys enjoy or want to enjoy seeing your fic in the Top 30 at 30! 

What I found the most interesting is that there are a lot of fics with unfamiliar writers. Some are because they have really great titles like "Blood Sugar Sex Magick." Or they've been retweet by others .. like the recent chatter around "Waking Need" because it was written after the author read DITF.

I do want to give a big shout out to my girl, Chiisai-Kitty's Allegro for being on top of the list the longest before Waking Need was published.

I hope you guys enjoyed this.
