People Are Interesting ... Some Yuletide Offer Stats

[chomiji]

As of this moment,

• 34 people are offering to write Tamora Pierce - Tortall series or The Fifth Element fics
• 33 are offering Eureka (tv)
• 32 are offering Anne McCaffrey - Dragonriders of Pern, Frances Hodgson Burnett - Secret Garden, The Middleman (tv), or Sandman (comic)
  and
  
• 31 are offering Diana Wynne Jones - Castle series aka Howl series or The Mummy series (movie)

Hmmm. I would consider myself middling competent to write four of those (Pern, Secret Garden, Sandman, Howl), have experienced one additional one (5th Element), and have never seen/read a bit of any of the others.

I'm fascinated that Burnett's enjoyable but rather didactic children's story is as popular as any of these more recent items ... .
