I think one of my tags for that Dr McCoy and the Red Shirt of Doom must mean something else in another fandom, because it gets a huge number of hits but very few kudos. It's not at all smutty and I honestly have no idea why it's gotten so many hits! I mean, I think it's hilarious, but still.
I'm surprised at how many of these fics are some of my earliest works (written in 2010) including Surprisingly, Crushed, A Week of Coming Out, and A Share of the Love Magic.
I'm not surprised that the vast majority of these are slash. That does seem to be the most popular. Though I do have two gen fics on here. The cracky, tongue-in-cheek Harlequin romance novel style Romilda story is the only het on this list-- though it's also listed as a FMM threesome, so it's also kind of slash.
Already tied for #4 on kudos (and climbing fast on hits) is an unbetaed little comment fic I wrote in like 8 minutes two weeks ago. Apparently, I got into the wrong ship if I want attention! Kirk/McCoy gets lots of love! I'm astonished at this. I wasn't even going to post it originally-- just a silly little PG drabble!
All the stories on the bookmarks list are ones I'm quite fond of myself, which makes me happy.
Though I have written smutty stuff, not much is on any of these lists. One explicit story and two mature ones, both of which were for smut fests and both of which had the sex scene sort of tacked onto the end because it was required. I was surprised, because for many of the other lists I've seen, the smut gets more attention.
My lists are surprisingly similar. Crushed is on all three lists. Three other fics are on two lists. I think I would have expected a little more variation, but I guess this makes sense too.
