I am slowly making my way through answering every comment I might have missed lately (and not so lately), so if you get a surprise reply to something, this is why.

Fic Georg Strange Aeons is an outlier and should not have been counted. It's the only one of my fics that has over 1k hits and has about 1k more hits than the next fic with most fics. I am not sure what up with that. Anyway, one of my fic broke 1k hits! PARTY TIME!
A lot of those fics are exchange fics. 9/10 of the fics by hits and 7/10 of the fics by kudos.
I still think Strange Aeons is one of the best fics I've written.
I'm surprised by some of the fics on these lists. 19 steps to restore someone's stolen property is not my best work, Prom Night is written for a tiny fandom and there's a grand total of three (3!) Hannibal/Scipio fics in the top ten by kudos.
Mostly I'm laughing because of how low my hits and kudos are compared to netgirl's. Comes with writing in small fandoms. On the other hand, I don't care. I write in small fandoms, so what? I'm proud of what I write.
