I'm very glad you found it interesting! I'd be curious to see any more stats/analysis/other info you come up with, if you decide to investigate further.
I consider myself part of the AO3/fic exchanges crowd, though I'm not on Tumblr. But I also have a very wide range of interests, so I do a little bit of everything in terms of characters/sources/pairing types. I don't know how common or uncommon that is in fandom generally.
I don't think of "porn" as a pejorative in a fandom context; I was using the word sort of loosely to mean works containing explicit and erotic sex scenes, whether they have plot and characterization in addition to the sex or not. It's not something I'm any good at writing (and I am primarily a genficcer at heart), but I have no objections to it.
