So last year I did a count of how many HD fics were produced for fests in 2014. This year I decided to do a side-by-side comparison of 2014 fests vs 2015 fests to see if I could spot any trends.

The table below lists all the HP fests I know of that ran in either 2014 or 2015 and produced HD fics. The top set are HD-exclusive fests, while the bottom set are more general HP fests that included some HD fics as well. Gray boxes indicate that the fest didn't take place that year.

Note that I included two HD fests that I saw run on tumblr in 2015. I don't know of any other HD-generating fests hosted on tumblr, but if you know of others I may have missed (on tumblr, LJ, or elsewhere), please let me know!

Some boring details:

The Tables:

Observations:

• More HD fics were produced for HD-fests in 2014 (357) than in 2015 (321)
• Conversely, more HD fics were produced for non-HD fests in 2015 (122) than in 2014 (84)
• When added together, the number of HD fics produced for fests in 2014 and 2015 is nearly identical.
• There were more HD fests that ran in 2015 than in 2014. Consequently, it appears that having more fests does not seem to produce more fics :)
