Hawaii Five-O *was* a pretty big thing, but it sort of tapered off, I thought, after they did some fairly stupid stuff at the end of the season. On the other hand I think it recently started with new episodes, which might explain why it's up there?
I'm fascinated that MS Paint Adventures (which is Homestuck, of course) is so high - it's even above X-Men! It doesn't rank that high in any of the other metrics I'm using, but then Homestuck is a fandom that, despite being made up mostly of people outside the conventional media fandom circles, has wholeheartedly adopted AO3 as its primary fanwork archive. (I suspect if other 'outsider' fandoms - like say Twilight or Glee - had done that, we'd be seeing them on the list too.)
Bandom's in a weird place right now, I think, with so many of the bands broken up. Although actually, I'm kind of surprised that there aren't any RPF panels at all this year - not even hockey! :D There is a general superhero comics panel, which sort of covers those?
I was tempted to throw in a "screw it, con.txt needs at least one anime/manga/jrpg/etc. panel" general nomination, to match the "con.txt needs more old school slash fandoms" one, but I am still only interested in really old anime, so I might not be the best person to write that one up. Maybe I should anyway! I know quite a few anime fans are going.
