Oh, true, I just hit the "complete" checkbox, but you're right, a good chunk of the completed ones are probably oneshots.

This is further complicated by the fact that some authors wait until their multichapter works are actually complete before posting them. (I love you, authors who do this!) So I think you had exactly the right idea with just comparing the percentage of completed fics in each fandom.

Though if someone were interested in comparing the amount of completed longfic (as opposed to multichapter works posted in parts) in each fandom, that would be doable. Just decide what qualifies as longfic for the purposes of your assessment (10,000+ words? 50,000+ words?); order the fandom's fic by word count and figure out how many longfics there are; select only the completed works and repeat; and compare the results.

Oh, I just remembered that there's actually an easier way of comparing longfics! You can put e.g. "words:>50000" in the "Search within results" field and filter fics that way.

SA (again)

I got curious and checked the percentages of complete 10,000+ word fics in the fandoms you already did. The results are: GoT (43%), MCU (64%), Sherlock (65%), Doctor Who (76%). So, yeah, MCU looks totally average as far as longfic completion rates go.

And the numbers are also dependent on each author correctly tagging their work as either In-progress or Completed.

But at any rate, my initial comment was that I didn't suppose that MCU was that much worse than any other fandom large enough to have a hefty sample size.

ETA: I also checked two smaller fandoms: Saint Seiya has a 86% completion rate, and Saiyuki is the completion champ at 96% (although there there are only 8 fics out of 1858 that are over 50K.)
