Whoa! Those are healthy counts! I am definitely writing in the wrong fandoms. I have one story on ff net--a WIP novel that I really wish I were collecting royalties on because the page click counts are so high--it would be a nearly a bestseller in the real world. Nothing else comes close to that one for me. My absolute highest counts for stories on AO3 are much, much lower than yours.
It's entirely fandom specific, isn't it? These are high hit counts for me, too, especially in comparison to most of what I've been writing recently in tiny fandoms--though they're quite low compared to lots of Sherlock fic.
Tolkien--Lord of the Rings--one of very few I have written based in LotR. I write a lot of fic and non-fiction based on Tolkien's Silmarillion. And then a lot of rare lit. fics of all sorts. Recently I have been diddling around with historical fiction just a little.
Speaking of historical fiction, do you know of any George Mallory slash? I found one on AO3. Finding it hard to believe there are not more.
Interesting! I've never read any Tolkien fic at all--
Well, according to the Wade Davis book, the Strachey brothers were writing their very own Mallory slash avant la lettre. *g* I haven't read the one on AO3--is it good? But yeah, I'm surprised there isn't more--I'm thinking of requesting it for Yuletide next year.
(of course, if this film with Tom Hardy is ever made, we'll be in for a mountain of it, so to speak)
I just read the beginning pages of the Wade Davis book and hope to pick up a copy soon--I cannot wait to read it. I am happy they are making that film and I love Tom Hardy, although he will have to work hard to convince me he is Mallory. But he might be able to do so. And, yes, AO3 will explode if the hardcore Tom Hardy fans see that film.
The story on AO3 is a ficlet, I would have appreciated a meatier short story in this case. I did like it quite a bit. I have been reading the beginnings of all the George Mallory-related books on Amazon because I am short of cash this month and wanted to do a serious sampling before doling out my entire book allowance. (I spent a ton recently on my War of the Roses books. that one-click Kindle book ordering is addictive. So I am trying to rein myself in a little.)
