As the year 2010 comes to a close, the
SVM Addicts decided to take a look back at SVM Fandom and pull out a few stories to recommend. But first let's look at a few fic statistics for this year.
- Total number of SVM Fics published in 2010: 1,198
- Total Number of True Blood Fics: 1,060
- SVM is the 25th most popular in the Book category with 2,387 stories.
- True Blood is the 77th most popular in the TV category with 1,707 stories.
- Eight contests were completed in 2010 resulting in over 177 new fics (including the samples).
- First SVM Fic published of the year: Dead and Alive by LJ Clark
- First TB Fic published of the year: A Little Piece of Vampire Chocolate by VicVega66
**These stats are from Fanfiction.net only (as of 12/ 30) since it has the largest collection of SVM/TB fanfiction stories
I think the numbers are pretty impressive considering the SVM/TB fandom is a little smaller than most! Most of my stats are from Fanfiction.net but I do have to be sure to mention that many writers found success on
other fanfiction archive sites, such as
Jan-of-Arc on LiveJournal. And there were others who ventured into the blogosphere and chose to publish their stories there, like
Ericizmine. No matter where the story was published (
Evenflo78 published her very popular
Instincts in the TB category), this year the SVM/TB fandom grew by over 50%.
