Here are some regional stats from last year. Let's Smash 'em!!!!!!!!!
1st Place World Wide - USA Washington: Seattle - 25,865,208 words total. 31,736 average words
1st Place Locally (#20 World Wide) - Australia/New Zealand: Sydney - 9,671,846 words total. 33, 699 average words
We Elsewheres last year came in at #44 World Wide with 5,893,478 word total and 30,855 words on average.
I have us placed in fourth place locally, also behind Melbourne (#23 - 9,234,150 and 27,401 avg). I seem to have missed who was third.......
By last years stats, getting into the World Wide Top Ten would have us somewhere around London's 2008 tally of 15,057,563 (avg 28,978).
On average counts, we rate among among the best. Which I think is pretty cool :D
Let's try at least for a local #1 place this year!
