Annual AO3 Stats Meme

It's that time of the year again! Last year's results are here.


By hits (again, excluding some that have definitely been hit by bots or bugs skewing the count):

1. Century's End (Poldark, Ross/Demelza, 2692 words) 1585 hits.
2. Not Bad for a First Attempt (Heyer, Rule/Horry, 200 words), 1532 hits.
3. Truth & Compromise (Discworld, William de Worde/Sacharissa Cripslock, 4404 words), NYR 2011, 1458 hits.
4. This Single World Is Double Till I Die (OUaT, Emma/Regina, 4138 words), 1264 hits.
5. Ten Times The Doctor (Almost) Got Hitched (Doctor Who, 5358 words), 1227 hits.
6. So We Meet at Last (Miss Marple/Dracula crossover, 578 words) Fan Flashworks, 1218 hits.
7. Observation (Miss Marple/Harry Potter crossover, Miss Marple & Luna, 357 words), 1153 hits.
8. something in the heart (15th C Hist/Shadow of the Tower, Henry VII/Elizabeth of York, 730 words), Trope Bingo, 1144 hits.
9. Five Times the Doctor Got in the Way of Captain Janeway (and One Time They Got Along Just Fine) (DW/ST: Voyager crossover, 5260 words), 989 hits.
10. Take the Second Path (OUaT, Emma/Regina, 2828 words), 817 hits.

(With another Henry VII/Elizabeth of York just outside of the top ten, Rewards of Battle.)

Most of my better/Yuletide fics have now been ousted by random things I wrote in popular pairings or pairings that later accidentally became popular, so I shall disdain this top ten obv. (Ross/Demelza, Emma/Regina & Henry VII/Elizabeth of York - blame The White Queen for that one, not Shadow of the Tower funnily enough).

Anyway, kudos! The most reliable method, without bots or bugs randomly getting in the way (I hope!):

10. This Single World Is Double Till I Die (OUaT, Emma/Regina, 4138 words), 51 kudos

(With Extract from the Memoirs of a Credit Snake (Yuletide Madness 2014) just hanging about below the top ten.)

Yuletide is beginning to show again here at least. Miss Marple still wins by a considerable length there. One day some stupid random pairing will overtake that ficlet and I will be v sad. In the meantime, Miss Marple will continue to pwn Dracula and the rest of my fic.

And, as ever, if you want people to talk to you, you need to do Yuletide. Apparently these days, there's just no other way. (This section is a collection of fics I'm much happier with, too. Yuletide FTW!) (In non-Yule fics, Five Times the Doctor Met Captain Janeway is lurking just under the radar here.

I would make constructive and interesting conclusions here, but all I can think of is how sad it is that people don't comment very much any more. But, you know, maybe I should get well and write betterer stuff or something and then they might. So I had better go find something more cheerful to do!
