So MoR is now past both Parachutes and Fridays at Noon. Still needs to pass Unexpected Circumstances (now at 24,163). When will it pass? Well:
MoR: 18911 02-28-10; 992 days ago: 18911/992=19.1 reviews per day Status: In Progress
UC: 24163 11-22-10; 725 days ago: 24163/725=33.3 reviews per day Status: Complete
Obviously if UC doesn’t see its review rate decline, it’ll never be passed by MoR; let’s assume it goes to zero (not too unrealistic since UC is finished and MoR is not), how many days will it take MoR to catch up? (24163-18911) / (18911/992) = 275.5.
So barring a major acceleration in MoR reviews, we can’t expect MoR to pass UC within much less than a year, but it’s not too unlikely to pass in a full year (November 2013) and in 2 years I’d consider it likely to highly-likely to pass.
One measure of a multi-chapter fanfic quality is reviews/chapter, and I don’t think that HPMOR is likely to catch up to UC in the near future by that metric.
Well, one can argue that reviews/chapter isn’t necessarily the best metric, but you’re right: since UC is currently less than half the length of MoR and still has more reviews, it will be a long time before reviews/chapter catches up if ever.
