Well, having impertinence and her crew, then thefourthvine and thehoyden, as well as svmadelyn, didn't hurt.

Right, but the question is why they would be drawn to hockey rpf in the first place. It's circular reasoning, you can't explain hockey rpf having the most fic by the fact that hockey rpf has the most fic.

When your initial sample size is that small, you've gotten to the point where making generalizations is pointless.

I'm not generalizing at all? I'm questioning the circular logic of explaining why there's lots of hockey rpf fic by saying that writers just gravitated towards the fandom where there was a lot of fic already.

NA I think one factor may be the kick hockey gets every 4 years with the Olympics. A lot of people who are generally not sports fans still watch the Olympics. There was a growth spurt in 2010 and I seem to recall one in 2014, too. It reminds me of how I always see more ice skating fannish stuff around Olympic years, too.
