the true measure of a people's champion

fun taskmaster metagame: for each series, rank the contestants in order of how many fics you think there are in their ao3 character tags, and then check your guesses. play with a friend! hours of fun!

(i got the first two series i attempted BANG ON and every series thereafter was a mild disappointment :P)

no spoilers, but the absolute Taskmaster Monarch of AO3 (for all the series we've checked so far, and frankly i'd be surprised if anyone came higher) is eminently guessable

some series... capture the ficcing imagination WAY less than others o.O

a familiarity with the general vibe of ao3 is an advantage (this is why i am doing better than my partner/enabler :P)

if you wanna get all this guy (and i'm in danger of it), variants include: logged-in vs logged-out; tagged-as-taskmaster-fic-only vs full-character-tag; overall cross-series rankings

posting additional fics purely to adjust the rankings to match your own guesses is a) unsporting but b) impressive commitment (i was surprised to find some of my own fics didn't turn up in certain tags then realised i'd only tagged them as ensemble :P)

make good choices! (i.e. choose to play this game)

Hahah awesome, thanks for playing! We hadn't done s12 yet so we hurriedly finalised our guesses before I read down to the end of your post. I too had Desiree and Morgana the wrong way round (though I didn't think there'd be much in it). I also had Alan and Victoria the wrong way round, both overestimating the QI fandom (I knew there was one) and underestimating the Brooker/Mitchell/Coren fandom EVEN THOUGH I once binged pretty much all the works in it, lol. Meanwhile, my partner/enabler actually nailed it this time :D

It's me. I'm people.

Hah, good instincts XD

(I mean, to be fair, so was he :P)
