Is there a way to generate these statistics or do you have to do all the math manually?

[scripsi]

Manually, I'm afraid. Well, with a calculator. :) I simply go to my AO3 statistic page and then split my number of fics with my number of hits, kudos, etc. :)

At least there are totals on the stats page so that's not too much work. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't a magic "average" button I was missing before I spent time crunching the numbers. I'm totally doing this. It looks fun.
