Do you know, I've never seen anyone do this kind of simple analysis on slashfic, by pairing or by fandom.
While the aim of the study, ah, somewhat broader, the raw numbers in question are included in this study (http://web.archive.org/web/20071110134347/http://www.research.piratequeen.ca/) of a random sampling of H/D fic, sample size = 100, circa 2006. XD The original site is down so the link is to archive.org. Alas, the associated LJ post on their sampling methodology is now locked, but from what I remember it was pretty impressive.
(H/D fandom was/is a strange hybrid of slash and - for lack of a better word - yaoi conventions, I know, but it's better than nothing!)
