Fics on AO3

[przed]

Well, it's time for my annual re-visiting of this meme:

List your ten fics at AO3 that have had the most hits.



1. In the Bleak Midwinter
Pros My 2011 Pros Big Bang story, and the last entry (so far) in the Comfort and Joy series. Was #2 last year.

2. Firsts
Pros A series of vignettes of firsts in Bodie and Doyle's lives, and one of the hardest stories I've ever written. Had been #1 for two years in a row

3. Exile
Pros My lonely Pros novel, and the absolute hardest thing I've ever written. (It took eight years to finish, give or take.) Newly posted last year, it was #6.

4. Nothing Worth Having
Sherlock Holmes, RDJ Movie-verse The little story that keeps going, it's a Holmes/Watson/Mary OT3, and was #5 last year. I've half a mind to write a sequel to it some day.

5. Happy Endings
Pros Young mercenary Bodie meets young copper Doyle. Was # 3 last year.

6. Down a Dark Desert Highway
A Knight's Tale, Hotel California Possibly my favourite crossover, written for Yuletide. Down from #4 last year.

7. Pretty Little Liars
Take That My entry for last year's first annual Take That Big Bang, and new to the list.

8. An Open Book
Sherlock Holmes, RDJ Movie-verse Holding steady at #8, same as last year. It's a solid story, but I've got to figure it's getting hits mainly from people who've read Nothing Worth Having and want more Holmes.

9. Babylon is Fallen
Pros, Zombies My 2010 Pros Big Bang entry, Pros meets the 28 Days Later zombies. Not on the list last year.

10. 'Til We Have Built Jerusalem
Pros, Take That, Zombies The sequel to Babylon with added Take That, and last year's Pros Big Bang story. I'm chuffed this crazy crossover has any readers at all, and extra chuffed it's made the list.

1 and 9 are two of my favourites - an interesting meme. Do the ones that get the most hits suprise you?

Aww, I'm glad you like my little zombie baby.

I don't know that the results surprise me--well, An Open Book being there does, because I think it's an okay but not terribly special story--because I try to approach this with no expectations. But it is interesting to see what gets the hits and what doesn't. And I have to admit to cheering on my TT stories. It's such a micro fandom that it's a kick when one of them cracks the top ten.

I should have a go at this meme and see what pops up..

You should totally do it. And keep doing it. (The fun is seeing the year-to-year changes.)

It's an interesting list. I like that the Knight's Tale one is in there as I wouldn't think there's much of a fandom for it at all... well, it is Yuletide. *g*

That Knight's Tale story keeps accumulating hits slowly but surely. I've got to figure half of it is morbid curiousity, and the other half is the Yuletide effect.

LOL, if I only had ten fics on AO3 to count stats for...

But this gives me more stuff to read. (From przed, even.) And yay! to that. :D

Just remember, we all started off with only a few stories. They do start adding up. *g*

Hope you enjoy the reading!
