I can't say much for the story's "objective" quality. Sometimes Kevinsims22's grammar is so bad that I can't tell what he is describing, and drawing a coherent plot from this stub is near impossible. It's often hard to tell what POV the story is written in, and the tense shifts between past and present nonsensically. It reads like a badly translated Quran, minus the poetry.

This story was originally written to make fun of Platypus' relentless editing and "special messages" (''warn1'' and ''incomplete'' are my personal favorites). But even Kevinsims22 admits that the site couldn't exist without Platypus. If the only active sysop decided this place wasn't worth saving, there would be no way to combat mass spam attempts, and the fading CYOS would finally perish for good. When this story was written (2010), a shutdown like this was far less likely, so what may have been exaggeration at the time has aged into a feasible reality.

I loved this short.  Seeing Platypus through Kevinsims22's eyes was always amusing, and his awful English only made the piece more memorable. I wish Kevinsims22 had written more before leaving this story in the pit.

I wonder if Bubbles 1780 expressed a true to life frustration in this work, or if he just thought it would be a funny dynamic to write. Regardless, ''THE REVENGE OF GRANNY FRAN!!!!!'' was a fun read. I laughed at least once on my first playthrough, but not much while reading through the other pages. If this had been a longer work, I think the joke would've gotten old fast (ba dum tss).  
+
From a random sampling, I found that each page of Smutty Sex Romp has approximately '''160''' words (not counting options at the bottom, templates, or categories). That makes Smutty Sex Romp nearly '''3 million''' (2,902,720) words in length. To put that into perspective, the longest english-language novel ever published (A Dance to the Music of Time) has only 1 million words.  
 +
</div></div></div></div>
-
Also, Bubbles1780 did a half job putting the pages together. Two of the pages in the Category don't appear anywhere in the story, so you'll have to click through there to find the second ending. And the pages that are linked together have so many red links that, after the first page, you don't really have a choice as to where the story goes.

Like ''Platypus,'' the bad English doesn't take too much away from the story, and might actually make it funnier. But ''THE REVENGE OF GRANNY FRAN!!!!'' benefits less from this effect, for obvious reasons.

This was [[User:Completionist|Completionist]]'s idea. An anonymous chatroom accessed through the link.

Rampage articles are on average longer than those from Smutty Sex Romp, and clock in at about '''270''' words per page (using the same counting method as for Smutty).

 +
 
 +
So I can't vouch for the accuracy of any of these numbers, but the percentages and word counts are probably very roughly correct. I've used 'contribution' and 'edit' interchangeably, neither of which necessarily indicate page creation. I'm not yet sure how to go about searching for the number of new pages each contributor is responsible for creating.

 +
Let me know if anyone thinks of another large contributor. These are just a few names I saw often while scrolling through the xml files.
 +
 
 +
(?): I've gotten this number from ctrl-f searching the xml files. Because of the way large xml files display (in Notepad ++ at least) this is likely close to '''double''' the number of actual contributions (the reason it's odd is because the doubling doesn't happen consistently. Very small files have no doubling, where very large files do). This doubling won't affect percentages as much though, so those are probably close to accurate. Additionally, this number doesn't include contributions from IPs, though the IP contributions are negligible (probably just over 1% of all edits).
 +
 
 +
(*): I have the same issues here. I don't know why I keep seeing doubled up contributions inconsistently (Platypus, Yihman, and Teejay somehow have odd numbers of contributions despite the doubling). Again, percentages are probably more accurate than the numbers.

As I back up other stories I'll add more 'statistics.'

Temporary Jobs of Smutty

I'm working on one of the Smutty temporary jobs that Anedwcan suggested on the temporary job talk page. I might pick up another one later, but I'm currently on "Work as a pest control technician for Pestless Spirits, specializing in humane cockroach extermination." If you've read Arthur Saxon's "Saxon's Folly" (see asstr.org), please have a look at what I've got so far and let me know if I've desecrated his concept. I've taken some creative liberty with Pestless Spirits, but I'm not sure if I've gone too far or not far enough.

I've kind of taken a break from this. I'll get back to it later. Probably.

From a random sampling, I found that each page of Smutty Sex Romp has approximately 160 words (not counting options at the bottom, templates, or categories). That makes Smutty Sex Romp nearly 3 million (2,902,720) words in length. To put that into perspective, the longest english-language novel ever published (A Dance to the Music of Time) has only 1 million words.

Rampage

Platypus' edits: 9,079 (34.5%)

Teejay's edits: 3,301 (12.5%)

Yihman's edits: 2,021 (7.7%)

Rampage articles are on average longer than those from Smutty Sex Romp, and clock in at about 270 words per page (using the same counting method as for Smutty). Rampage is around 1,100,000 words in length, having a greater word count than the entire Harry Potter series (which has 1,084,170 words).

So I can't vouch for the accuracy of any of these numbers, but the percentages and word counts are probably very roughly correct. I've used 'contribution' and 'edit' interchangeably, neither of which necessarily indicate page creation. I'm not yet sure how to go about searching for the number of new pages each contributor is responsible for creating.

Let me know if anyone thinks of another large contributor. These are just a few names I saw often while scrolling through the xml files.

(?): I've gotten this number from ctrl-f searching the xml files. Because of the way large xml files display (in Notepad ++ at least) this is likely close to double the number of actual contributions (the reason it's odd is because the doubling doesn't happen consistently.
