Tagging Project
The Supernatural Fic Link Archive is a project by black_samvara, who tags all the stories listed in the spnnewsletter producing a searchable archive of links. To date there are 39,425 works of fan fiction at delicious.
Fics are searchable by author, category, rating and pairing.
Statistics are produced for every 50 newsletters tagged, giving an overview of growth and trends within the fandom. It should be noted however that not all fics are included in the newsletter, which requires that a work lists both a pairing and a rating. WIPs are counted as one work.
