Ao3 Stats Meme

Because every time a slightly different one comes along, I have to do it. Like an AO3 sheep. Baa.


1. Your 3 fanfics with the most comments:

So We Meet at last (Miss Marple/Dracula crossover, 36 comments)

Of Elements and Existence (S&S/Discworld crossover for Yuletide 2012, 28 comments)

Persistence in Porcelain (Jonathan Creek, for Yuletide 2013, 28 comments)

Apart from my random outlier Miss Marple/Dracula crossover ficlet, Yuletide rules when it comes to comments.

2. Your 3 fanfics with the most kudos:

So We Meet at last (Miss Marple/Dracula crossover, 126 kudos)

Century's End (Poldark, Ross/Demelza, 72 kudos)

Observation (Miss Marple/Harry Potter crossover, 69 kudos)

Whatever I may think about Poldark 2015, when new viewers rushed to the archive in search of Ross/Demelza, what they found at first was solely my fic. It did wonders for it! (It was a carefully laid plan, yes - write fic two years before a remake I didn't know was coming... :lol:)

3. Your oldest fanfic

Ah, I haven't tended to actually backdate my fics when reposting them to AO3, so it's hard to say without searching LJ and Teaspoon. The first three I posted to AO3, however were (all on 29 Oct 2010):

The End of the World as We Know It (Looks Pretty Much the Same to Me (Press Gang, apocalypse AU)

Cut and Dried (Poirot/Doctor Who crossover)

Bargaining (X-Files/BtVS crossover)

My actual oldest fics are all DW and probably, I think the only survivor from my first incarnation during uni on alt.drwho.creative is Hidden Corners, a light series of ficlets I wrote nearly twenty years ago about lesser known areas of the TARDIS. (I have a feeling Rainbow Drabble was also a repost from adwc days, and I started Strangers at Fairhurst in 1998, also on adwc - and finished in about 2007!).

4. Your latest fanfic:

A Spooks ficlet written on finally seeing the film: Practice to Deceive

5. The fanfic you're most proud of:

That's difficult. Some days I'm proud of some and other days I'm not and mainly they're more serious fics, or at least the ones where I feel that I managed to really say what I set out to say and at least one other person got it. Having said that, though, I I'm still bemused and proud that I managed to pull off a reasonable Wodehouse pastiche that one time:

A Gallifreyan at Blandings (DW/Blandings crossover)

(I had the idea, plotted it out in rough, acquired the whole Blandings series, read nothing else for two weeks, and then locked myself away and typed this up over a weekend, basically spewing up all those Wodehouse words I'd fed myself for a fortnight. And then I posted it and collapsed.)

6. Your longest fanfic:

The longest two fics I have on AO3 are:

Murder at Mill Cottage (DW/Miss Marple crossover, 25,511 words, This Time Round meta-humour)

How the West Was Lost (DW/Carry on Cowboy crossover, 22,000 words.)

However, I haven't got round to transferring over my DW long fics from Teaspoon (it does chapters better; plus I always think I should probably edit them or something first, and so they just don't get posted over there). The longest is therefore actually UNIT: End Game at 85,839 words (being, as the terribly original title would suggest, the finale of my epic 1980s UNIT series).

8. Your 3 fanfics with the most bookmarks:

You will not be shocked at this point to learn that the top spot is held by:

So We Meet at last (Miss Marple/Dracula crossover, 21 bookmarks)

Five Times the Doctor Got in the Way of Captain Janeway (and One Time They Got Along Just Fine) (DW/ST: Voyager crossover. 14 bookmarks)

Truth & Compromise (Discworld, Sacharissa Cripslock/William de Worde, NYR 2011, 9 bookmarks)

9. Your Top 3 Crossover fics:

:loL: I think we already have a clear winner by any measure: Miss Marple dusts Dracula in So We Meet Again.

I think presumably, as they've both come up already, that Obversation (Miss Marple/Harry Potter, in which Miss Marple briefly meets Luna Lovegood) and Five Times the Doctor Got in the Way of Captain Janeway (and One Time They Got Along Just Fine) seem to have done well, so those two probably. I've written a lot of crossovers, though, especially thanks to random LJ meme prompts!
