TOP 10 PLAYS/MUSICALS ON FANFICTION.NET BASED ON NUMBER OF FANFICTION (2000-2022)
To make this bar chart race, all series titles in the Plays/Musicals Section on November 29 (or the closest date to it) of every year were copy-pasted from Wayback Machine to Google Sheets, rearranged according to number of fanworks, and then inputted to Flourish to turn into a bar chart race.
The Plays/Musicals section was created in March 5, 2009. Before this date, play/musicals were found in the Misc. section.
Up until 2005, the only entries for plays/musicals were Musicals/Plays and Screenplays.
In 1999, fanfiction weren’t divided into sections like Anime/Manga, TV, Books, etc. yet. It was just a small list of mixed fandoms. There wasn't any play/musical entry in the only archived page I have for that year.
Phantom of the Opera was removed from the Plays/Musicals section by 2011. All the fanfiction were transfered either to the Phantom of the Opera in the Book section or the Movies section. In 2015, Phantom of the Opera was added to the Plays/Musicals section again. However all but 1 fic were published in 2015 onwards.
Musicals/Plays, the catch-all category for all musicals/plays that don't have their own category, remained in the Misc. section with all the other Misc. [section] catrgories.
Originally, the fanfiction list was sorted alphabetically too, but was changed to number of fics at around early 2013.
By November 2013, FFN started abbreviating numbers above 1,000 to K, so exact numbers aren't available for series with more than 1,000 fanfiction.
This bar chart was made with the assumption that the numbers listed in the Plays/Musicals section are correct. I can't seem to get the same numbers for some of these categories when I go to the specific categories' page and toggle ratings, other filters, and language to All though... I'm not sure where the discrepancy is coming from. (And it’s not the crossover fic numbers that need to be added to serie’s total fics from what I’ve observed.)
Please refer to this post for more bar chart races.
Thanks for understanding and hopefully I didn’t mess up anywhere! 🙏
I had a random thought, what if there were Mount Rageous versions of our singers, like Niki Minaj, or Taylor Swift ect ect. So introducing one of the original superstars, Miki JJ. I based her off of Niki Minaj’s Pink Friday: The Re-up album, specifically High school, pound the alarm and starships. Back when V & V we’re kids, she was one of the biggest superstars. She was an idol, and she was all about herself and she was Velvets inspiration. I loved the big hair, the massive POOF of hair. Also why there is a lot of poof is because that was her trademark, big poofy accessories, her sleeves were big, her hair was big, and her ego was bigger.
I have commissions open! Here is the link to my commission post:

And here is my ref sheet if anyone is interested !!
Columbia Records has named Nicole Kim vice president of A&R. She was previously head of A&R for BigHit Music/HYBE and head of creative for superstar K-pop group BTS. She worked across their collaborations with the likes of Coldplay, Halsey, Nicki Minaj, Megan Thee Stallion and others. She will be based out of the company’s Los Angeles office.
Prior to joining Big Hit Music/HYBE in 2017, she held creative positions at Starship Entertainment and Sony Music Publishing Korea.

She supposedly resigned back in December but has been seen with Bang PD as recently as when Jungkook was in California in the recording studio and then attending Coachella. I would like to think she submitted her resignation but stayed on until this month for a transition period since this whole BTS solo era has been chaotic.
I KNOW NOTHING AND HAVE ZERO INTENTION OF PLACING BLAME OF ANYTHING ON ANYONE. I am merely stating what little I know and my thoughts and opinions of this particular news.
But for all we know, they did not part on good terms. Who knows. I mean I hope so but unless we read specifically, I guess we can’t really know. I’m kind of ignorant when it comes to what the duties are for an A&R person. We have always just vaguely referred to them as the managers and personally, I have always thought of them as assistants which I suppose they are.
Basically they oversee the artistic development of music artists. A&R departments can be a team of people. We don't know how many are involved specifically with BTS.
According to what has been written, if she was head of A&R for BigHit/HYBE, Nicole had a very important and high-ranking position and therefore a lot of influence where BTS was concerned. So I’m imagining the next one to step in her shoes will have an equally high-ranking position and influence with the group and individual members.
If the manager that has accompanied them overseas is one of the A&R people, right away the big difference we see is he is by the members’ sides as they walk through the airport whereas before we never really saw any female staff accompany them through the airports.
Just playing devils advocate here... we talk about how the solo era has rolled out and many of us think it has NOT been handled in the best way. Well, Nicole would have been the one managing that process and that is why I am wondering if her parting ways was amicable. I am wondering if new manager dude has something to do with how this Tae and Jennie reveal has happened.
Everything I just said was my thinking out loud and just wondering about how everything went down and how everything is being handled now I don’t know anything as a fact.
