Idea for a Discord bot: track fanfiction links
-
Hey, I’ve been kicking around an idea for a bot: it would look for fanfiction links shared in a server and keep track of which ones get shared the most.
The concept:
- Track sites like AO3, FanFiction.net, ScribbleHub, etc.
- Count how often each link gets posted
- Commands to see the “top” links or which domains are tracked
It’s just a rough idea, I haven’t built it yet. Curious if anyone thinks this would actually be useful or has tips for implementing it without overcomplicating things.

What's the point of even tracking "most linked"? It's incredibly easy to game and leads to dark incentives in a world where authors are already worried about lack of readership / engagement.

It's to get an idea at a glance of the most popular fics within a Discord server.
