AO3 meme 2020 edition

As of 20-21/8/20

Account created: 2010-09-14
Total stories: 218 (23 more than last year, but this is the point where I admit that there are still fics that I need to post at AO3 and at Dreamwidth. And then I think, ‘Am I going to expend energy on doing that or on posting new fic?’ But then I meant to post something else today, but got sidetracked by this. Also: 'I've been on AO3 for nearly ten years'.)

Total wordcount: 161,541 (only 7,031 more than last year)
Average wordcount: 741 words (51 words fewer than last year)
Longest story: Harsh Lights 5.371 words (Alias) (Same as last year)
Shortest story: distance in your eyes 51 words (Dark Angel) (Same as last year. Is always likely to be the shortest piece I post to AO3.)

Total kudos: 6,267 (over 1,000 more than last year!)
Kudos per story: 29 (an increase of 4)
Story with most kudos: Comprehension (Mansfield Park) (Same as last year.)

Total comments: 245 (33 more than last year)
Comments per story: 1 (same as last year)
Story with most comments: Comprehension (as with the kudos - same as last year)

Total author subscriptions: 21
Total story subscriptions: 75 (I think I’ve been doing this wrong in previous years)
Story with most subscriptions: Comprehension has been joined by When we were strangers (or five ways Warren and Layla never met) Sky High
Total bookmarks: 772 (just over 200 more than last year)
Story with most bookmarks: Comprehension (as with the kudos and comments)

Stories with no comments or kudos:
Your sweetness is my weakness (BtVS); Days, weeks, months and years (ER); can’t wash out the blue (Firefly); Strange Bedfellows (Gotham); A Long Time Coming (MCU RPF); Never Let Her Go (Scorpion) (New); La, la, la. La, la, la, la, la. (Wire in the Blood). (Two fewer than last year, though it’s dispiriting that it includes the latest ficlet I posted.)

Average hits count: 517 (up by 49 from last year)
Average no. of bookmarks: 4 (rounded up from 3.5, up by 0.6 from last year)

Work(s) closest to the average word count:
No Cat In The Manger, I (736 words) (Dark Angel)

Work(s) closest to the average hit count:
Night Sky (The Avengers (Marvel Movies) 523 hits

Work(s) closest to the average number of kudos:
No Cat In The Manger, I (Dark Angel) (29 kudos)

As in past years, my average word count continues to decrease, I’m pleased by the rise in fics posted, word count, kudos and bookmarks, even if much of that is driven by AO3 getting more popular. ‘Comprehension’ is still my most popular fic by most measurements.
