Day after Thanksgiving is a good day to go back to start catching up on unread Exchange fics, right? And what a nice surprise to see this lurvely stat summary here! Thanks for all that work!
I also totally agree that having a word count, or word range indicator, on fics would be a welcome addition, but recognize the enormous amount of work the exchange mods already do. They did indicate if fics were longer or shorter by the day of the week they posted, for which I was thankful.
Finally, I appreciated your thoughts on both quality and length of sshg fics. It's true that there are many intellectuals writing sshg. I also think that this ship tends to attract an older demographic, which means people who've simply had more time for education and life experience to influence and hone their writing skills.

Thanks again for a lovely break-down! :)
