A K-Pop Fan Collected Fanfiction Data For Different Fandoms — Here’s What They Found Out
The topic of fanfictions is often controversial among K-Pop fans. While some fanfictions are harmless stories written by loving fans as simply a show of their creativity and imagination, opinions are divided on the appropriateness and morality of more sexual-centered fanfictions.
Recently on Reddit, a fan collected data about K-Pop fanfictions off of one of the most popular and well-known sites for them, ArchiveOfOurOwn (better known as AO3). Through what they discovered, they were able to find out not only which K-Pop artists have the most fanfictions written about them, but also the average number of fics written about them each day. The ratings of the fanfictions weren’t included, so they range from innocent fluff to, presumably, hardcore smut.
Here are the 15 K-Pop groups who have, on average, the most new fanfictions written about them each day on AO3. Note that the data was collected on March 13.
