Why Do People Like Weird Ships? An Analysis of AO3 Porn Statistics

Why Do People Like Weird Ships? An Analysis of AO3 Porn Statistics is a 2017 essay posted by Sponge on Medium.com website. The author measured the percentages of each rating on AO3 for fics about "biggest pairings for a bunch of popular shows (plus some rarepairs)" and speculated about reasons that determined why some pairings had higher amount of explicit fics and others didn't.
==Some Conclusions==
* Incest pairings tend to have a very high percentage of explicit fics and adult/teen incest fics tend to be explicit more often than stories about incest between adults or between teens
* The percentage of explicit stories is higher for slash ships with a big age gap (about 30–40% of fics for such pairings is rated E) and "darker" relationship dynamics. The amount of smut is lower for the "combative rivalry-style" of age gap ships in comparison with the pairings where the older character tends to be portrayed as abuser or predator
* Fics that pair enemies, rivals or villains are more often explicit than fics that pair friends, coworkers or even some canonical lovers 
* The percent of E-rated fic is generally much lower for m/f pairings than for m/m ones. The most common rating for het pairings is T (Teen and Up Audiences) while E rating is generally 19% or lower. Like with m/m stories, the percentage of explicit m/f fics is higher for more "DirtyBadWrong" dynamics, often for the ships where a predatory or evil older man is paired with a younger woman or teenage girl
* Pairings featuring Black characters tend to have less explicit fic written about them than white/white pairings 
* The percentage of fics rated Explicit for f/f pairings is very small
==Excerpts==
If a Ship Has 40%+ E-Rated Fic, It’s Incest
The Higher a Slash Ship’s E-Rated Percentage, the More Depraved the Ship
Amicable Slash Relationships Score Lower
No One Wants the Heteros to Fuck
Just Kidding, the Heteros Can Fuck, But Only If It’s Depraved
No One Wants Black People to Fuck Either
No One Wants the Lesbians to Fuck

Why Gaston (not Frollo) is the Most Realistic Disney Villain

Why Gaston (not Frollo) is the Most Realistic Disney Villain is a 2011 essay by aikaterini.
==Some Topics Discussed==
* Claude Frollo, a character in The Hunchback of Notre Dame
* Gaston, a character in Beauty and the Beast
* how many "top ten lists" put Claude Frollo at the top of the villain list, but Gaston is worse
* Gaston is scariset villain in this movie, and other Disney movies, because of his hyper-masculinity and how people don't take it seriously, how he flies under the radar because people are used to that kind of behavior and often laugh it off, that a good looking guy with money gets away with too much (both in the movie and in real life)

Why I'm a Dark NNPacker (or, Submission, Abuse and Control? In *my* OTP?)

"Why I'm a Dark NNPacker (or, Submission, Abuse and Control? In *my* OTP?)" is an analysis of the abusive aspects of the relationship between Nick and Natalie. 
Melissa admits that, initially, she was a regular NatPacker:
However, (for personal reasons) Melissa came to reexamine the relationship between the two characters. 
In the essay, she looks first at each of them separately, interpreting Natalie as an abuse victim and Nick as "Tony Soprano with a more aristocratic upbringing". She then examines in some detail the negative influence that two such people have upon one another.
==Comments==
* "I've said since 1996 that the greatest disaster of "Last Knight" was both Nick and Nat having simultaneous breakdowns: when one was still a bit stable and able to talk the other out of a funk (or at least walk away) disaster was averted. In LK...they were both at the end of their ropes and there was no one to see or talk reason." - excerpted from Amilyn's comment on DW
==History==
Originally crossposted to LiveJournal, where Melissa later deleted her journal along with any comments.

Why I Don't "Buy" Slash

Why I Don’t “Buy” Slash is an essay by L. Goldman. 
"Writers have a basic responsibility to be true to the characters as they have been created. Canon is there for a reason and not to be discarded as it suits the author's purposes. If it is, then it is no longer fan fiction; it is simply fiction or pornography using the character's names."

Why I Love Forever Knight

This information has largely been copied from the article "Why I Love Forever Knight" in the Forever Knight Wiki.Why I Love Forever Knight is a resource website created by Bonnie Rutledge, with screen captures and sound files representing all of the characters of the series. Although not formally a faction site for the Die-Hards, it is often referred to as such on links lists on other sites because of the following statement on the main page:
:"I'm in the process of trying to include a little bit of everyone, so consider this a Die-Hard jamboree."
==Site Contents==
A picture of Nick near the top of the main page links to Bons' Forever Knight Fan Fiction Wasteland, Bonnie's personal archive for her fan fiction. Below this is a table of contents leading to individual pages of thumbnailed screen captures. (Larger pictures are linked in to each thumbnail). The number of pictures varies, with the main characters having as many as two dozen screen captures; for minor characters, there might be only one or two. 
The following characters or groups of characters have their own sections: 
* Nick Knight; 
* Natalie Lambert; 
* Janette; 
* Don Schanke; 
* Javier Vachon, Screed, Urs, and Bourbon (collectively);
* the three police captains (collectively);
* Divia;
* various supporting and guest characters, and pets: Miklos, Alma, Serena, Tran, Feliks Twist, Fleur, Francesca, Perry, the Inca, Grace, Daniel, Erica, Larry Merlin, Alyce Hunter, Bridget Hellman, Angel, Liam O'Neal, Thomas Monroe, Richard Lambert, the Barber (Jack the Ripper), Alexandra, Aristotle, Elizabeth, Briana, the Enforcers, Sydney (Natalie's cat), Spark, Seline, Alyssa, Ellen Simmons (in her various personas); 
* pair and group pictures;
* miscellaneous: Nick's car, the Raven nightclub, the police stations, Nick's loft, a commonly filmed apartment building.
There is also a page of .wav files, recording short sound captures of dialogue.
For pictures and sound files of LaCroix and Tracy Vetter, links lead to two of Bonnie's other websites, Nunkies Anonymous and The Good, The Bad, And The Perky, respectively.
==Site Design==
The same basic design for all pages ties the website together. The common background graphic is a plain pale blue, with the Forever Knight logo writ large in white. Each page is topped with the website logo, a black trapezoid with the name of the site on it. Purple text with dark teal links bracket the hue of the background in related cool tones while avoiding a monochrome appearance.
==Site History==
Why I Love Forever Knight was originally on GeoCities at http://www.geocities.com/~br1035/fk/diehard.html. It was first recorded by the Internet Archive 23 April 2000 in its current form. In 2009, when the GeoCities free-hosting site was discontinued by Yahoo!, the website was moved to the Forever Knight Website Archive.

Why I’ll Never Pull My Fic

Why I’ll Never Pull My Fic is a 2012 essay by vamp posted to their wordpress blog, vampireisthenewblack. In the essay, the author takes a position against both pulling fanfiction from the internet for personal reasons and for professional publication. The essay makes several references to the Twilight fandom, where filing off the serial numbers was more common than other media fandoms. The author also discusses the moral implications of publishing altered fanfiction since the base work is on intellectual property that you do not own. 
The essay is divided into several subheadings: 
* I’ll never Pull2Pub for many reasons
* Most fics aren’t pulled to publish though.
* File Sharing
* The Future

Why Read Fan Fiction

Why Read Fan Fiction, subtitled Sometimes The End is just the beginning, is an article by Jessica Bridges, an assistant editor at Spirit Magazine, the complimentary on-board magazine of Southwest Airlines. The article was included in the November 2007 issue. Bridges, Jessica. Why Read Fan Fiction. Accessed November 24, 2008 through archive.org 
The article describes Bridges' disappointment when Dolores Umbridge ("one of the more wretched villains ever to appear in print") did not receive an on-screen "comeuppance".
However, as Bridges shows, in the world of fanfic she could find a satisfying conclusion; she quotes several paragraphs from an unnamed story where Umbridge's wand is snapped and she is thrown out of Hogwarts.
Bridges goes on to describe how she got into fanfic, by searching for meta after the end of the fourth HP book. She acknowledges that there is a lot of badfic out there, but also mentions several outstanding "gems," such as a Harry Potter/The Dark is Rising crossover and a Heroes Fairy Tale AU. She also quotes, in its entirety, a drabble by LOTR author Mordelhin, which deals with Tom Bombadil's reaction to Frodo leaving Middle-earth.
The article describes how some pro authors, like Anne Rice, dislike fanfiction, but goes on to claim that "most" authors, like J.K. Rowling, "understand that fans write not out of malice but from love."
At the end of the article, Bridges gives links to fanfiction.net and Fiction Alley, as well as to the Fanfic Symposium. 
The article was available for a time from Spirit Magazine's website but is now unavailable except through the Internet Archive.
