beccaelizabethHaving a momentary curiousity, I wondered about readers per week vs viewers per week.
Wiki reckons "In the UK, a hardcover book could be considered a 'bestseller' with sales of between 4,000 and 25,000 copies per week"
Obviously buying is not the same as reading, but I have no clue how readers per week could really be measured, so we'll just stick with that 25,000 for ballpark comparisons.
Doctor Who viewers per week? About 7 to 10 million.
Given that only a fraction of readers/viewers will ever become fans, let alone fanwriters - book fandoms are smaller.
Agree / disagree / have better numbers?
