Yeah I know, but I'm bored

The AO3 meme where you list your top ten stories in terms of hit count.

1. Anchor (Merlin)
2. Golden (Merlin)
3. Life Is Bigger (Supernatural)
4. In Vino Veritas (Merlin)
5. read the fine print later (Supernatural)
6. Shades of Love (Supernatural)
7. Phonary (American Idol)
8. Five Things JD Doesn't Like About Dr. Cox (No he doesn't, no of course not, why would you say that?) (Scrubs)
9. Cinderella, she seems so easy (Bandom)
10. Standpoint (Merlin)



Hmmm... most of these are easily explained. The Merlin drabble at the top won an award thing last year and they used the AO3 link, number 2 and 10 were nominated at the same thing. Then there's a couple of porny wincest stories, and the really porny waycest one (...porny incest clearly seems like a winning combination here), and eh, American Idol and Merlin in general are pretty active fandoms atm.

There are, however, two fics that I'm surprised about making it into the Top Ten: #8 because, huh, people still read Scrubs (aww, I do so love that show) and #3 which seems aparticularly unlikely because it's a) gen and b) about secondary characters (basically, Castiel moves in with Bobby and not talk about their feelings). It never got lots of comments or anything, for the above reason, so I'm always surprised, but hugely pleased, to find people are reading it. Because it is one of my fics I'm most proud of. *pets fic*

Well, that killed 15mins. What other memes can I find to do...

Tee - no! What happened is you posted this which reminded me of teh awesome Bobby and Castiel fic and then I went to A03 with it's handy habit of linking all the fics together and I got lost in a reread of joy.

Tab's still open, more fun to be had :)

Heh, yeah I do like AO3 for how easy it is to find fics or authors I like. Are you being brave and reading rps fics as well? I was just observing how in terms of numbers, bandom is taking over from spn for me...

Enjoy! :D

I do read rps in a number of fandoms, but I know nothing of bandom so I haven't been reading those - my knowledge is sadly lacking.

...now you're just telling me to go find you pimp posts. I mean, you may not realise that's what you're telling me, but really, it's what I'm hearing :DDDDDDDDDD
