top ten Ao3 fics meme
So I can safely say that Treading Water is my most successful fic across the board, since it's at the top of all the sorts by a substantial margin, but here are the rest:
By Hits
1. Treading Water - Hunger Games Trilogy
2. A Little Bit of Ink - Hawaii Five-O
3. Echoes of Sensation - Being Human
4. Change of Pace - True Blood/White Collar
5. Restless Spirit - Being Human
6. Interlude - Hunger Games Trilogy
7. Death of a Latte - Leverage
8. Victorious - Hunger Games Trilogy
9. Morning Sickness - Farscape
10. The Vampire Loves You - Southern Vampire Mysteries
By hits, it’s a pretty eclectic fandom mix. Three of them are just plain me, as in I was thinking about the particular fandom or characters or whatever and the story idea came to me. Two were birthday gifts. Four were written for challenges or ficathons. One was written for Yuletide (yes, it’s a challenge/ficathon, but it’s big enough to be its own category). Only two of the 198 fics I’ve posted on Ao3 have more than a thousand hits.

1. Treading Water - Hunger Games Trilogy
2. Madrigal - Hunger Games Trilogy
3. Days Go By - Hunger Games Trilogy
4. Interlude - Hunger Games Trilogy
5. Victorious - Hunger Games Trilogy
6. A Little Bit of Ink - Hawaii Five-O
7. Echoes of Sensation - Being Human
8. This Is For Me - Veronica Mars
9. Tell Me a Story - Being Human
10. Be Careful What You Wish For - Hunger Games Trilogy
By kudos, it’s a little more heavily skewed toward my current fandom love, with six of the ten being for the Hunger Games, but Being Human, which I only wrote a handful of stories for, is still represented at about 20% of my most popular fics. Three of these were gifts for friends. Six were for challenges/ficathons, but none of these was for Yuletide.
By Comment Threads
1. Treading Water - Hunger Games Trilogy
2. The Vampire Loves You - Southern Vampire Mysteries
3. Victorious - Hunger Games Trilogy
4. Of Bloodlines and Bastard-Born Sons - Chronicles of the Cheysuli
5. Madrigal - Hunger Games Trilogy
6. A Shifting in Shadow and Light - Chronicles of Amber
7. Winner, Loser, It’s All the Same - Hunger Games Trilogy
8. Freefall - Battlestar Galactica
9. This Charming Life - Sons of Anarchy
10. Change of Pace - True Blood/White Collar
Sorting by comments changes things up a little, as far as fandom is concerned, with eight fandoms represented, but eight of the ten were written for challenges/ficathons, and four of those eight were for Yuletide.

Every one of these top ten bookmarked fics appears also in the other sorts, which makes sense.
What probably surprises me the most is that I used to be known more for Battlestar Galactica fic than anything else, and yet none of my BSG fics except Freefall hit any of these top ten lists. Now I want to compare these statistics with similar ones for ff.net, except that ff.net is blocked from work. (The interesting part about THAT is that it was blocked here the very first time I ever tried to access it, back in the days when I was just learning about fanfic, which means someone here knew enough about it to block the site (it’s blocked because of porn, LOL).)
