Wicked Wednesday Roundup 2018

In 2015 I started doing a roundup post for Wicked Wednesday, partly because I am always reflective at this time of the year, but also because — as I have admitted before — I am a statistics whore. An additional reason is that I think it’s great to acknowledge everyone who has been supportive of the meme throughout the year. Thank you to everyone who has played.

In 2015 the roundup had a different structure from what I did in 2016 and in 2017. I am continuing what I have done the past two years, showing you the numbers of the past five years.

First and best

The first prompt for 2018 was number 292 and the last one was number 343. Effectively prompt 344 has still been given in 2018, but since it is for the first Wednesday of 2019, I am declaring it a 2019 prompt.

The best week of 2018 was for prompt 337 when we had 34 posts linked. Just like last year and years before, I am still chasing to have 50 links. Will you make me happy and let this happen in 2019?

New blogs in 2018

In 2018 we had 45 new players for Wicked Wednesday. Unfortunately some of those have linked only one post and disappeared again after that. Some blogs have already been deleted.

Linked

As you might know, there is a page with links of all active blogs that participate in Wicked Wednesday.

Please check whether your blog is on there and if not, let me know!

YOUR number

I have only mentioned those who have ended up in the top 5 or 10 or 15, but of course I have statistics for everyone who has ever played along with Wicked Wednesday. Want to know YOUR numbers, please just let me know and I can give it to you (no pun intended).

Last but not least

The only thing that remains is for me to invite you to join in with the prompt of this week, but also as many future prompts as possible, and of course to wish you all the best for 2019. May all your sexy dreams come true!
