As part of our effort in 2022 to give more data to authors and readers about what's getting read here at Gay Authors, I am posting this Tag and Genre Reads report. For the numbers shown, please realize that they are tabulated based on the tags and genres associated with each story times the number of times that story is read. Since all stories can have more than one tag and more than one genre, you can't add together individual numbers and have anything meaningful.

One other note... we are still in the process of integrating our new sub-genre options on stories, so a fair few stories haven't been updated yet.
