Analysis of Tolkien fandom fanfictions
ɪᴄᴋʏ ✯
I love this
ᛕﻉɭค๓ٱՇץ
I've learned that if you want fluff and AU, go to the Hobbit tag.
ɪᴄᴋʏ ✯
unsurprisingly, the F/F is very low
ɪᴄᴋʏ ✯
Tolkien wrote like 3 women
ʝєss
Silm: writer chose not to use warnings. WELL I mean, if you have read the Silm, you should be used to violence and character death lbr
𝔞𝔰𝔥 𝔞𝔫𝔡 𝔱𝔥𝔬𝔯𝔫
Welp, I'm remembering why I've never made a Bilbo...I really don't have the spoons to fight of the people who ship him with Thorin, which I just don't...
ɪᴄᴋʏ ✯
I MEAN SAME.
ɪᴄᴋʏ ✯
Not worth the fight, just not worth it.
𝔞𝔰𝔥 𝔞𝔫𝔡 𝔱𝔥𝔬𝔯𝔫
Look if people want to write it/play it,t hat's cool, I just have no interest!
ɪᴄᴋʏ ✯
I find it very interesting that dwalin/ori
ɪᴄᴋʏ ✯
has more fics than sam/frodo
𝔞𝔰𝔥 𝔞𝔫𝔡 𝔱𝔥𝔬𝔯𝔫
yeah where'd that come from??
ɪᴄᴋʏ ✯
or fingon and maedhros
ɪᴄᴋʏ ✯
the hobbit fandom is wild
ɪᴄᴋʏ ✯
I also appreciate that THE SINGLE SILMARILLION SHIP TO MAKE THE TOP 10
ɪᴄᴋʏ ✯
is. you know. the one everyone assumes is canon
ɪᴄᴋʏ ✯
love it
ɪᴄᴋʏ ✯
oh wow there are slightly more gen LOTR fics than M/M that is surprising
𝔞𝔰𝔥 𝔞𝔫𝔡 𝔱𝔥𝔬𝔯𝔫
Fingon and Maedhros I definitely understand
ɪᴄᴋʏ ✯
it's impressive tbh, making the top ten when the percentage of silm is so much lower than the hobbit and lotr combined.
ɪᴄᴋʏ ✯
I JUST GOT DOWN TO THE SILMARILLION SURPRISING NO ONE FINGON/MAEDHROS AND MELKOR/SAURON ARE THE TOP TWO surprising literally. no one.
𝔞𝔰𝔥 𝔞𝔫𝔡 𝔱𝔥𝔬𝔯𝔫
yupppppp
ɪᴄᴋʏ ✯
oh my god look at how many more angst fics there are than anything else
ɪᴄᴋʏ ✯
we have a problem
ʝєss
Yeah I kinda feel like this should have been double analyzed, one like presented and then one excluding these two obvious outliers XD
ɪᴄᴋʏ ✯
ALSO APPARENTLY WE LIKE TO ACTUALLY JUST TAG ANAL SEX FOR SILM FICS
𝔞𝔰𝔥 𝔞𝔫𝔡 𝔱𝔥𝔬𝔯𝔫
Hmm, I really should write more non-angst fics.
ʝєss
Well, I mean...the Silm...
ʝєss
I’m not sure which I find more disconcerting, that Curufin/Finrod is the 9th most popular ship, or that the 10th is Fëanor/Fingolfin
ɪᴄᴋʏ ✯
literally all the others for 10 ten freeform tags are all general like. genre tags
ɪᴄᴋʏ ✯
the only one that has any sex based freeform tag in the top ten is silm I love everyone in this bar
ɪᴄᴋʏ ✯
we like to be clear that elves are getting fucked up the butt
ɪᴄᴋʏ ✯
ɪᴄᴋʏ ✯
(also the hobbit is the only one that has RPF in the top 10 fandom tags )
ʝєss
Gotta do something to keep morale up in such dire times.
𝔞𝔰𝔥 𝔞𝔫𝔡 𝔱𝔥𝔬𝔯𝔫
to keep 'morale' up. right.
ʝєss
Morale has side effects of other things also being up
ɪᴄᴋʏ ✯
eyy
ɪᴄᴋʏ ✯
ok but now I want a fic where maedhros can literally not get it up for like at least 100 years after thangorodrim
ʝєss
I'm down
ʝєss

[laugh]
ɪᴄᴋʏ ✯
fingon gets used to having to make due, suddenly like 100 years later maitimo MAITIMO IS THAT YOUR FAKE HAND OR
ɪᴄᴋʏ ✯
ʝєss
or are you just happy to see me
it·reaches·out

It’d be interesting to compare this to some of the older fandom and fic analyses- dawn felagund had one somewhere, I think?
