I know it's hard to give tone via text, so I'm not trying to be rude. I agree with you that stats are fascinating, but I would like to know more of the context of these numbers so I can understand them better.

Can you tell me these numbers are for? Are they stories, authors, pageviews? Are they numbers for just today, or over time, i.e. since the first fandom thing appeared on ff.net? (Which would give older fandoms an advantage over younger ones.) And why are there two lists? Why are some fandoms on both lists?

This may be clear to people who use FF net more than I do, so I'm sorry if I'm asking obvious questions. ::g::
