Annual Writing Stats Meme 2018
It's that time of year again! Last year's is here.
Hits (minus the handful which must have been skewed by bots or a bug, if that isn't, in fact, all of them. Which it may be):
1. Century's End (Poldark, Ross/Demelza, 2692 words) 2338 hits.
2. Not Bad For a First Attempt (Heyer, Rule/Horry, 200 words) 2291 hits.
3. Truth & Compromise (Discworld, William de Worde/Sacharissa Cripslock, 4404 words), NYR 2011 1697 hits.
4. something in the heart (15th C Hist/Shadow of the Tower, Henry VII/Elizabeth of York, 730 words), Trope Bingo, 1678 hits
5. Rewards of Battle (15th C Hist/Shadow of the Tower, Henry VII/Elizabeth of York, 669 words) 1674 hits.
6. So We Meet at Last (Miss Marple/Dracula crossover, 578 words) Fan Flashworks, 1574 hits.
7. This Single World is Double Till I Die OUaT, Emma/Regina, 4138 words), 1481 hits.
8. Ten Times the Doctor (Almost) Got Hitched (Doctor Who, 5358 words), 1419 hits.
9. Observation (Miss Marple/Harry Potter crossover, Miss Marple & Luna, 357 words), 1376 hits.
10. 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), 1313 hits.
These lists tend to be the same, which winds up as something of a self-fulfilling prophecy in itself. (Doing the second tier list might vary things up a bit, lol.) However, much as I may not have enjoyed The White Princess, it seems to have boosted my Henry VII/Elizabeth of York stories. (I hope you all understand from this list that I could write nothing but James Maxwell related shipfic and be relatively popular, but I don't. I'd miss you lot too much!)
I'm still amused about the Poldark one, though, because when I first wrote it, it was the only Ross/Demelza fic anywhere, and nobody had dreamt of a remake. I'm not sure anybody's ever actually commented on it, though. (To be fair, it is a weird immortality AU written for the 70s version.)
Kudos

10. Of Elements & Existence (Discworld/S&S crossover, 2642 words), Yuletide 2012, 67 kudos
These ones have also just rearranged their positions a little and now the top three slots are all what you could term weird Miss Marple stories. I am still bemused and amused and very slightly resentful (for no particular reason). lol.

The bookmarks are always a little more random, but I'm pleased to know that people also like Nobody's Property (Seven & Ace), and The Time Traveller's Guide. I don't know how the Martha/Rimmer one is doing so well (for my level of typical no. of bookmarks), though! (It moved up the list since last year, too.)
