A Comparative Study of My Own

Been far too long LJ! Figure my return should be on a not so depressing and unfortunate or raging topic. So.... I've chosen something completely random nostalgic!

Woo, look at you go! Yes, you are definitely back in an LJ groove! :)

Very interesting comparision of the mature fics in each fandom, though I wonder if there's a rating flux within "mature" based on personal definitions of mature, as some people give mature ratings to implied sex.

I'm curious by "perversion" are you referring solely to the fact that someone is writing sexually explicit fanfiction for a series lacking any explicit (or even implied) sex or sexual agency (e.g., Gundam Wing, CCS)? Or by perversion are you attempting to measure the level of non-mainstream or "deviant" acts (e.g., the level of kink in a given fandom)?

If it's the former, I suppose FF has a nice breakdown to use for comparision (though with caveats given the personal vs. site's rating system in regard to mature and as you said, a mature fic purge back in the day). If it's the latter (kink), then I would think fandom kink memes and the structured archives like AO3 would be an easier measurement. :)
