TOP 10 WEB VIDEO SERIES ON AO3 FOUND IN FANDOMS > OTHER MEDIA (2010-2023)

To make this ranking, all series titles in the Other Media category on November 29 (or the closest date to it) of every year were copy-pasted to Google Sheets, rearranged according to number of fanworks, and then manually filtered since not all web video series were marked as such.

Locked fanworks aren't included in the count because Wayback Machine can’t view those, only Ao3 users can.

Many authors started locking their works starting December 2022. It's most likely the reason the number of fanworks decreased or slowed down in 2023.

Bar chart starts at 2010 because there were no web series in Other Media in 2009.

The Dream SMP tag was only considered an Additional Tag in 2021-early 2022, which is why it's not listed in Other Media earlier than that.

Please refer to this post for more bar chart races.

Dedicating this post to @vsrobotjulie who requested this bar chart race.💕

Thanks for understanding and hopefully I didn’t mess up anywhere! 🙏

Beatrice moves to live with her cousins Hero and Leo for her final year of school, and decides to start vlogging her daily life. Her rival Benedick also starts a vlog when he finds out. A third channel is run by a group of freshman calling themselves “The Watch,” dedicated to exposing lies and discovering the truth. The plot follows the very eventful school year as Beatrice and Benedick’s rivalry comes to a crescendo, only to be put aside when something terrible happens to Hero.

It's very good. Actually too good for an amateur production. It hits all the beats of the original play while modernizing them and fitting them to the teen culture of the mid 2010s. The acting is phenomenal and the writing is top notch and the Candle Wasters (the people behind NMTD) are just very good at what they do. Plus the whole thing is available for free on YouTube and there's really good original songs.

so much attention to detail with slipping in references to even the smallest lines from the play. modernization is believable and feels natural. the acting is also fantastic and these are my favorite Beatrice and Benedick.

official trailer

A high-school boy, Cameron, cannot date Bianca until her anti-social older sister, Kat, has a boyfriend. So, Cameron pays the school bad boy, Patrick, to charm Kat.

The poem: beautiful.

Kat Stratford: hot

Patrick Verona: also hot

Kat and Bianca's father: hilarious

Joey: awful

The soundtrack: all bangers (especially the Letters to Cleos songs)

- I get the feeling we can’t flirt like normal people, would that be right?

- We’re far, far too clever.

“TURN THAT CAMERA OFF” is a Benedick Hobbes moment that does not get enough love in this post-lolilo society

#nmtd #nothing much to do #benedick hobbes #standing up for hero and Beatrice and tolerating zero bullshit #once the dust settles and Bea looks back on that it’s over for her (it being her denial that she’s in love with him)#bc that’s the moment he could’ve turned his back again but instead he STAYED #he chose the dukes #when that video dropped and it was radio silence #indescribable

Benedick of Padua (1598): a miracle! here's our own hands against our hearts.

Benedick Hobbes (2014): so you do love me. so... you love me with all your heart. i'm babelicious. i have da booty.

(an entirely accurate translation of Early Modern English)

NMTDaily: VOX POPS

- Hi all! I’m going to be rewatching along with TCWs NMTDaily and making posts about each episode, or as many as I can (I might miss some, but I hope not!)

- I want to start by saying thank you again to The Candle Wasters for making my favorite thing. Just, the amount of joy and creative fulfillment and friendship and delight I’ve gotten from this show and this fandom is still unmatched. Thank you so much for making it and sharing it. The love and care and skill with which NMTD was made still shines through and I’m still so awed by it. I think I was probably somewhat overdramatic about my reactions to Lolilo in places where you, TCW, could see, on my main blog, and you didn’t deserve that. I really hope I didn’t send you any aggressive asks about it, or make you uncomfortable in any way. I’m a little afraid I did, but I don’t know for sure. If I did, I apologize. I’m older and more mature now, I promise. I hope you’re all doing so very well now!

- I didn’t realize until today that Project I: VOX POPS was posted first, before any other video in the series. I didn’t start watching NMTD until right around the time Benedick’s first Q&A video was posted, so I binged the first chunk of episodes around that time. It will be interesting to watch them at a slower pace this time!

- I am immediately overwhelmed with warm fuzzies at seeing these characters again. They’re such babies! I love them!

- I never made a post about this, but Ben’s first line being about how he shares a (differently spelled) name with a Pope is both a great first line for him on a character level since he starts as kind of a cocky overconfident asshole (a cover for his soft sensitive insides) AND it’s evidence for my theory that he’s probably Catholic, but lapsed/non-practicing/maybe agnostic or atheist solely because I WILL keep projecting parts of me onto this character, it’s just what I do at this point. Other evidence: he has a confirmation name. We don’t get his full name til Lolilo, but still. And he’s partly Scottish, which can account for the fact that English people usually are not Catholic.

- “you need to imitate an eagle, that’ll scare them away!” That’s Ben’s second line and first bird reference! Already! Wow.

- The favorite band question! Mumford and Sons! Fife and the Drums! Sheep Dog and Wolf! The LORE! The REFERENCES! We’re already off to the races.

- “I don’t need chat-up lines” Beatrice I love you , and you have no idea what’s coming.

- I forgot about Beatrice’s Favorite T-Shirts Ranking System lol

- Extremely funny that Ben says bananas are his favorite food and then he goes on to become synonymous with mangoes instead. Sorry, buddy, you will always be Mango Skin Boy to us. xD

- I forgot how delightful Dogberry and Verges are in this episode

- “that you would leave me” oh Meg. Oh honey. Oh no.

- I’ve seen nine seasons of Doctor Who and only five episodes of Game of Thrones since 2014. Sorry Bea, I side with Ben on this one. And I’ve seen one season of Community. I’m slowly hacking away at the list of media referenced in nmtd that I need to watch!

- love it will not betray you, dismay or enslave you, it will set you free! ❤️

- Balthazar plays every instrument, of course.

- Bea must not have an ear for music if she hated that question enough to force Ursula on-camera so she doesn’t have to answer it… Unless Ursula asked her something else she didn’t want to answer! Lol

- Ben makes me cringe so hard a couple times this episode. And yet I still love him. To be fair, that’s just every Benedick at the start of Much Ado, though. The cringy lines are completely in character.

- I decided to save the full story of how I discovered NMTD for whenever the NMTDaily email for Ben’s first Q&A episode goes out, because then it will actually be ten years almost to the day since I started watching. But I’m so impatient and excited to tell the story!

- It’s amazing how back then, these kids were my contemporaries and the Lizzie Bennet Diaries cast felt impossibly old compared to me. Now the NMTD kids are babies and I’m older than Lizzie Bennet! Trippy. It sure has been a nice ten years.

Until the next one! Happy NMTD Day, fellow flamangoes!

💖🥭🦩

peter donaldson obviously lol

Weird that there isn't a square for "I've written at least 50,000 words worth of meta about them."
