The numbers for HL's women

I'm planning to participate in the [community profile] rarelywritten ficathon. I've shared my likely nominations (in FK, HL, YB, BSG78 and D&DC) in case anyone would like to discuss or collaborate!

Most of my dearest fandoms fall well below the threshold where we need to calculate eligibility per character. But HL, bless it, has *3,300* stories on the AO3 right now. It's over the threshold. I decided to calculate exactly how rarely-written HL's women characters are:

Percentage Stories Character
11.030% 364
 Amanda Darieux
2.181% 72
 Cassandra
1.697% 56
 Tessa Noel
1.455% 48
 Rebecca Horne
1.212% 40
 Alexa Bond
0.515% 17
 Amy Brennan-Thomas
0.455% 15
 Ceirdwyn
0.333% 11
 Anne Lindsey
0.333% 11
 Grace Chandel
0.212% 7
 Claudia Jardine
0.182% 6
 Michelle Webster
0.091% 3
 Randi McFarland
0.091% 3
 Angie Burke
0.091% 3
 Rachel MacLeod
0.061% 2
 Nefertiri

It looks as though even Amanda qualifies, then. She's well under 500 hits.

That is a hugely disproportionate number, wow. I knew all this from previous years, but still. I get amazed all over again every year.
