Wrote a short script. Average Harry Potter fan fictions look to be about 30,000 words. With 25 fics per page on fanfiction.net and ... 21895 pages, that's ...

That's 16.42 billion words.

Which, according to WolframAlpha is only 1% the library of congress.

Some back-of-the-enveloping suggests that this accounts for something like 10-20% of the total fanfiction on the site. So 5% of the library of congress could be taken up with work from FanFiction.net

I also enjoy(ed) HPMOR. Yeah it's a mary sue singulatarian wankfest, but in a way, it's the best possible mary sue singulatarian wankfest, and I respect that.
