Great code!!

I totally can't code myself, but I have a quick question:

For the scoring, it looks like it penalizes shorter one-shots? If I do a search for fics <4k words and sort by kudos, I can't really find any scores above 15, but if I take away the word filter in the same fandom, I have no problem finding fics in the 20-25 range, all of which are longer, multi-chapter fics. Again, I can't code, so this could totally be a coincidence. Thank you!!

Hi - I'm going to look into this today! Can you answer a few questions for me?

  • What is your minimum kudos to show score?
  • What are your good to excellent thresholds?
  • What's the main fandom you're working with?

I'm going to test things myself and see what's up. :)

Thank you!

Minimum Kudos: 50
Good: at or above 8
Excellent: at or above 16
I've been keeping it normalized with 25 as the max
Fandom: Jujutsu Kaisen

Hey, turns out you were absolutely right! The old formula did unfairly penalize shorter works, especially anything under ~5k words. I’ve since rewritten the scoring system to fix that issue and provide more balance overall.

I tested the new formula against a large dataset of 700+ fics across all lengths (using Jujutsu Kaisen bc it's a good fandom size), and the bias toward longer multi-chapter fics is gone. Shortfics now score correctly based on real kudos-per-hit behavior instead of being deflated by word count.

If you update to the newest version of the script, your results should now look much more balanced across fic lengths.

Let me know how the update works out for you!
