StatCat: Top users by wordcount

It was in the comments in the last StatCat article that Locke from Blue Dwarf mentioned that we could find each user’s wordcount per month. Effectively finding out who’s written the most this month, and also, who’s written the most on OngoingWorlds so far. Ever.

So it wasn’t long before I checked my email and Locke had sent me some SQL to feed to StatCat (yes, our smart moggy loves SQL, especially tuna-flavoured).

Wordcount: May

So here’s the top users last month by word count:

Bear in mind that a novel is about 60,000 words, so Jaxx has almost written one last month!

Wordcount: 2014 so far

Yeah, so we can find out who’s written the most this year so far. Again, this is by wordcount, not the amount of posts.

Also let’s take this a bit further. Tib asked me Last week which games have been around the longest, and I promise I’ll ask StatCat that next, although it’s fairly easy to find out. Blue Dwarf is the definite oldest, running over 14 years. But in all that time, want to know who’s written the most?

Wordcount: From forever

So this includes all games. But is dominated by Blue Dwarf, just because it’s been running so long of course.

So if a novel starts at 60,000 words, I’ve written about 15 of them, right? Well done to Longman, who has been an excellent writer for so long on Blue Dwarf. Also a special congratulations to Jaxx, who not only came top of the first 2 tables, but has come 3rd of all time.

So, now you know!
