Now that the year 2012 is drawing to a close it's a good time to take a step back and see how CC has been doing for the past year.
With that in mind I went on an expedition into our trusty ol' database and ran some queries and whatnot to dig up some stats.

Here is a fun little word cloud from Wordle.net into which I fed the story titles of your submissions.

Graphs
Everyone loves graphs! Here is a comparison between some of the basic metrics of CC for the past 9 years (excluding 2003 since CC came online late in the year).




That's it for numbers in 2012. All in all this has been a fantastic year for CC and we have some great new people doing amazing things. We wish you all a very merry christmas and a happy new year. We hope the next year will be a productive one.

I love the word cloud, that is a beautiful and meaningful piece of art.
CC turns 10 in 2013! We deserve a big party for all the members who have made this site so awesome!
I am very grateful for the helpful and honest crits I have received in the short period of time I have been a member, and very thankful for the encourgement I have received. Happy New Year, CC!
