muccamukkI got bored, and was talking on one of the Discord servers about if Bohemian Rhapsody coming out had influenced the percentage of Sledgefu fic in The Pacific (originally sparked by ![[tumblr.com profile]](https://www.tumblr.com/favicon.ico)
ktredshoes's post: The Pacific Fanfiction Stats), so I decided to run all off fic from the airing of the show to 23 October 2018 v. all of the fic from 24 October 2019 to now.
Which led to the following dataset:
To which I believe we can say that the release of Bohemian Rhapsody not only lead to an increase in the percentage of Sledgefu fic, but also led to a general doubling of fic for The Pacific.
But how much more? And then I had my spreadsheet open anyway, so here's some more numbers and some shitty graphs (thank you mathisfun.com).
( The Pacific Numbers and Graphs )
( Band of Brothers Numbers and Graphs )
If anyone wants the numbers, I'll dump them all in a text box. If you want to get them yourself, all I'm doing is filtering fic by year, taking out nothing on exclude filters.
Which led to the following dataset:
Total fic in The Pacific fandom on AO3: 1124
Merriell "Snafu" Shelton/Eugene Sledge: 61%
Andrew A. "Ack-Ack" Haldane/Edward "Hillbilly" Jones: 12%
Robert Leckie/Bill "Hoosier" Smith: 5%
Pre-Bohemian Rhapsody (1 April 2010 – 23 October 2018): 547
Merriell "Snafu" Shelton/Eugene Sledge: 45%
Andrew A. "Ack-Ack" Haldane/Edward "Hillbilly" Jones: 15%
Robert Leckie/Bill "Hoosier" Smith: 8%
Post-Bohemian Rhapsody (24 October 2018-27 September 2020): 577
Merriell "Snafu" Shelton/Eugene Sledge: 79%
Andrew A. "Ack-Ack" Haldane/Edward "Hillbilly" Jones: 9%
Robert Leckie/Bill "Hoosier" Smith: 3%
ETA: I have been informed that the period of time should be the same length, so, as an addendum:
24 October 2017-23 October 2018: 102
Merriell "Snafu" Shelton/Eugene Sledge: 48%
Andrew A. "Ack-Ack" Haldane/Edward "Hillbilly" Jones: 20%

Merriell "Snafu" Shelton & Eugene Sledge: 10%
Andrew A. "Ack-Ack" Haldane/Edward "Hillbilly" Jones: 3%
