Yep! In the context of these EPUBs and my EPUB generator, "Sandbox" is the group of Alicorn's sandboxes from the index here, and "Glowfic" is every post in the Glowfic community archive on Dreamwidth.

This is where I get the links for each epub from:

• Sandbox (Alicorn's Misc. Glowfic): http://alicornutopia.dreamwidth.org/1640.html
• Glowfic (the Glowfic Community): http://glowfic.dreamwidth.org/2015/06/ (then work forwards through the months)
• Effulgence: http://edgeofyourseat.dreamwidth.org/2121.html
• Incandescence: http://alicornutopia.dreamwidth.org/7441.html
• Pixiethreads: http://pixiethreads.dreamwidth.org/613.html
• Radon Absinthe: http://radon-absinthe.dreamwidth.org/295.html
• Marri's Glowfic ("marri" in the script): http://marrinikari.dreamwidth.org/1634.html

Do you have data on which glowfics involve which authors in an easy-for-a-computer-to-read format? I want to create a graph of who has written glowfic with whom.

Oooh, I desire this graph.

Uh, do you mean the individual threads? There's the data that I put in the zips above, and you can get the authors of each thread from that (I could extract them through a regex find-and-replace, if you wanted?). Problem is, you'll then have a list of something like "kappa, lambda" then "kappa, rockeye", "aestrix, kappa", ... which might be difficult to interpret unless you write a quick script?

Yeah, that data is fine. I missed that it had authors, not just word counts. I’ll see what I can do with it.

I've compressed it into single lines of authors there if you want it, with the URL of the glowfic they're from; all are taken from the Glowfic community for that paste.

Edit: Oops, a couple of the authors got squished. Weird. (e.g. "kapparockeye") I just fixed it, though.

Ooh, that’s much more useful, thanks.

I’m going to be busy with other stuff for a while but I hope to have something in the next few hours.

In case you want to do it with any of the other data, I used Notepad++:

1. Delete all text above and including the line "-- Number of words in each chapter (Total, #Author, ##Character):"
2. Apply the following RegExes in order ([blank] means leave the replace box blank, [space] means put a space in that position, a → b means put a in the find box and b in the replace box, like this):
   1. ((\#\#)[\w\_\-]+|Total): \d+\n
      →̍ [blank]
   2. --- Chapter title: ([\w\-\_ \,\.\;\:\?\!\'\*\#\&]+)(\+)?\n
      → [blank]
   3. #([\w\_\-]+): \d+\n
      →
      \1\n
   4. ^([\w\_\-]+(, ([\w\_\-]+))*)\n(?!---)(?=\w)
      →
      \1,[space]
      (Apply this one until no more replacements are made)
3. Check that nothing stupid has happened (it shouldn't have, because I fixed the RegEx, but it might)

Since last time...
