AO3 Top Ten Meme (AKA I am a sheep, hear me Baaaaaaa...)
And winning by a landslide is my Sherlock/Torchwood fic, 'A Packet of Crisps and A Retcon Pill'. To be honest, I've always been surprised about how popular this fic is. With over 50 reviews in ff.net and 2 pages of feedback on LJ, this story's level of popularity leaves more bewildered that anything else. I honestly think I've written better stuff - a lot better! I guess its because of the humour and the punchline?
Other than that, I have to say my readership at AO3 is a lot more eclectic than at ff.net and LJ! A lot of the popular stuff is short and humorous but there are a few plotty fics there too! Also, can I say how pleased I am to see 'A lesson Learned' on this list? While I write Highlander's Amanda as someone whose life was greatly affected by Rebecca, I think this was the first time I gave them actual real 'screen time' together!
