Summercamp Reading Challenge 2022 Big List & stats
As I read through several Reading Challenge articles, I noticed some people coming up frequently. And I began to wonder how frequent they were. In reality. With no other way to find out, I gathered the mentions in all Reading Challenge articles (submitted to the blog, otherwise it would be hard to track down).
There's a huge table at the bottom of the article. If you want to know whether you've been mentioned, search for your WA username (ctrl+F). Apologies if some people are misnamed, it was late and I may have missed some subtleties. But first, stats!
63 challenge articles
745 mentions
294 authors mentioned
My first surprise was with the variety of authors mentioned. With nearly 300 different mentions, I think we have a pretty good diversity of this year's participants, considering that makes a bit less than half the submissions to the biggest prompt (610 entries). I was also surprised to see that people who I've never ever heard of were mentioned in numerous articles, which just shows how wide the Anvilspace can be!
Now, to count the mentions, I counted every time an article from an author was mentioned. Hence, some are mentioned multiple times in the same articles, which makes the count go up. When it was the author themselves being featured I counted it only once, except when they were mentioned again further down the article, like in Amélie's or TJ's.

Amélie and Qurilion were really close to each other! Until the very last articles, it was unclear who would get on top. In the end, Amélie was mentioned in more articles but Qurilion was often mentioned two or more times. The winner of 7 prompts comes third place, which is no surprise considering the quality of her writing!
The full list is below, with links to the challenge articles mentioning the author. If you discover someone who mentioned you go give them some love! And please correct me if I made a typo, the list was assembled pretty late at night.
