Summary
A recent book featuring a fan and a fanfiction format got my attention because of the way it an interview about it lumped all fandom and fanworks together. In addition, it suggested that it was the level of quality and obsessiveness that separates fanfic from profic. But I think it's more on target to say it's a focus on the audience and authenticity of it that makes a difference.

While the short answer is that it would be hard to get accurate numbers with which to tell for sure, it's possible there are many reasons. In fact, it may be asking the question which is the most interesting part.

Summary
This happens to be the 15th anniversary of the Buffyverse Top 5 community, created to share recs in the Buffy and Angel fandoms, and later the other Joss Whedon productions. This timing is particularly fitting because I have spent several months since our 2019 session going through every post in the community (1,846 of them!) as part of an effort to locate recced content on AO3.
This gave me a unique perspective on patterns in the fandom which might be much the same for other fandoms which began in the pre-AO3 online era, and which may also have lost a number of their works over the years.
