Glowfic Ebooks

[Adelene]

Excellent. ^^

Okay, ugh. Turns out I forgot to zero-pad the minutes in the timestamps, so if you see something like "07:2", that's actually "07:02", but I failed to output it properly. (I managed to remember to zero-pad the hours, somehow, but not the minutes... <.<)

I've updated the code so now it'll zero-pad minutes, too. The following epubs have been updated to fix that:

• Effulgence
• Incandescence
• Pixiethreads
• Radon Absinthe

The rest will be fixed the next time I update them, which will probably be this weekend.

I'm curious about the range of word counts for completed glowfic?
Some of them seem pretty long, but I'm not good at estimating so I don't know if they are along the lines of 1000 words or 10,000.
If it's not too difficult, could you please check this?

Sure, I've just added some code to do that. If you want the raw (ish) data, there's a zip of the stats logs here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2sen1r79zuewe ... s.zip?dl=0

It's all in the following style:

I've made a new excel (well, "Google Sheets") page with each chapter and the total number of words in it for the "Glowfic" community and "Alicorn's Sandboxes". I've also sorted the data by word count. It's in the stats Sheets document. The sheets are titled "Sandbox W/C" and "Glowfic W/C" (for word count). I think that's what you wanted?

Can it be filtered for "completed"?

[Throne3d]

Can it be filtered for "completed"?

Sure. I've just added filters, and done three "filter views" for each word count page (unfinished, finished, all); I'm not totally sure how they work, though. Feel free to filter it yourself - everyone should have edit permissions. Don't edit the actual data, though.

Edit: Note that threads must have been marked as "Complete" in their tags for the scraper to consider them complete from the glowfic community. Everything else has a "+" in the "Yet to finish" box.
Here's what it looks like with the filter on:


Alicorn's Sandboxes have "Complete" marked by the presence of (incomplete) or lack of (complete) a "+" symbol in the index.

Thank you so much!
By estimates and not actual math, it looks like a may have written 30,000 to 50,000 words, which is way more than I thought.

Just out of curiosity, how are you differentiate sandboxes vs glowfics?

[Marri]

I am not the person to ask but I would guess glowfic means "posts in the glowfic community" and sandbox means "from Alicorn's sandbox list"?

[rockeye_stonetoe]

I call everything not part of a larger continuity 'sandboxen'. Which is everything I've written.

[Marri]

I totally agree! I meant specifically in the context of this ebook thread / the linked word counts.
