It makes sense in context.

Did u kno ‘Chuunin Exam Day’ is the number one most reviewed Naruto fic on ff.net with 13,300+ reviews?

In the Harry Potter section, ‘Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality’ has it beat out with 20,400+ reviews.

The Twilight fic ‘Offside’ has even more: 32,600+.

To compare, the most popular fic in the most popular section in the cartoons subheading is ‘Embers’, and it only has 6,400+ reviews. The most reviewed Star Wars fic is ‘A Simple Twist of Fate’ with 3,300+ reviews, and the most reviewed Buffy the Vampire Slayer fic is ‘How can you hate someone you love?’ with only 2,000+ reviews.

Of course, follows are probably a surer indicator than reviews of true popularity…  I wish there was a way to filter every fic on the site without narrowing down category or keyword first. I could tell you definitively which fic has the most follows. (I’ll tell you this: the number one most followed fic in the Twilight section has more follows than the most followed fics in the Harry Potter and Naruto sections, which are larger.)

If I had the time and the programming skill, I would make scatterplots and other sorts of data organization of the word count vs. reviews vs. followers vs. category etc. etc. and so forth for every fic on that site.

So like 
In Tales of Symphonia
my sister and I were talking about it
So. 
Regal is currently 33 in the game. Presea is technically 28, but her physically aging stopped at 12. It has been 16 years since she stopped aging. 16 years ago, Regal was 17 ???? He was the head of the company ??? Uh but my real question was that Alicia, who Regal loves, is Presea’s YOUNGER sister and Regal who was 17 and her were in love but SHE WAS 11 MAXIMUM IF PRESEA WAS 12???
?????
?????????????????
???????
At least when I was just playing the game the Cruxis Crystal was placed on Presea around the same time as Alicia making Presea 12.

UMMM ???? 
?????
?????

????

uh

By that timeline, Alicia left home at the age of 11 at the latest (assuming she left home in time to be oblivious to Presea’s state). However, she likely didn’t meet Regal until years later, and certainly they weren’t involved until she was (fifteen? sixteen or seventeen?) older.

Regal would be in his early twenties by then. … Though there’s no reason he couldn’t have been president of Lezareno at 17. By all accounts it appears to be an inherited thing - if his father died, he’d be president at least in name.

Tethe’alla doesn’t have phones or anything. Presea had already stopped aging, but Alicia wasn’t in contact with her. The reason Rodyle et al. wanted Alicia for exphere stuff in the first place was because they’d already been working with her sister.

What the - ? That doesn’t even make any sense. Why do you read these things?

It’s really hard to find decent fics for rarepairs. :(

I closed the window on this fic, but. I had to try. I had to… try…

Okay, true. Even for common pairs it can be hard to find one that doesn’t have problems all over the place (Tentoo/Rose comes to mind…). I would offer to help, but I have one too many writing prompts backed up as it is.

Ahaha, I wouldn’t ask for help with this particular pairing, anyway. It is. My shame. It’s a rarepair… for a reason…
