NOTES

  • READING TIME The No. 1 article, Jody Wheeler’s review of the August 2015 Axanar script famously called “locked” by Alec Peters, attracted an average view time of six minutes, two seconds. In short-attention-span Internet time, that’s miraculous! The second-longest view time this month was for Top Story No. 8, our analysis of the erroneous belief that Star Trek: Discovery lifted story concepts from Axanar, which logged an average of five minutes, 26 seconds.
  • LAWSUIT NEWS remained popular, with stories on stalled settlement progress and AxaMonitor‘s exclusive coverage of Prelude director Christian Gossett’s subpoena and its clues about the plaintiff’s evolving case.

Biggest Day

NEWS THAT former CTO Terry McIntosh was served with a subpoena seeking Axanar documents led @AxaMonitor's tweets for the month.

Biggest Day on Twitter this month, was our exclusive September 3 report of the subpoena served on former Axanar chief technologist, Terry McIntosh, with an audience of 9,167 (9% of total impressions for the month — nearly 3x the daily average).

Interestingly, this month the day with the biggest audience was overshadowed by a higher number of engagements (i.e., link clicks, retweets, likes and replies) on September 10, the day we tweeted about our coverage of Axanar selling its donor mailing list to a third party, which then spammed them with advertising.
