a meme thing

***

Gnna do like an actual post soon but saw this and am powerless to resist AO3 stats...


Most hits

Technically it's is not the past all shadow but that's definitely because it got caught in some random bot and has over 23k of hits which is implausible for a Lewis gen fic.

A more realist result is where the street have no name with over 9k hits, a Grimm Nick/Monroe undercover as a prostitute romp


Most kudos

Reformation, the Good Omens Aziraphale/Crowley fic a I wrote well before the TV-adaptation was even a rumour but that received most of its 1.2k of kudos within weeks of season 1 airing when everyone was desperaterely looking for content


Most comments

Black Lotus Club with 102 comments (of which half are my replies obvs). This is a Guardian, Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan 'undercover at a bdsm!club fic' that I wrote because it's mostly the dynamic I want to read in every fandom.


Most bookmarks

Fac Mihi Viam, my Harry Potter, Harry & Sirius gen dark horse of a fic that has 384 bookmarks (of which 268 are public, it is still top that way too) that wildly exceeded all expectations I had re reception of it


Most words

There are two fics co-authored with pushkin666 that are at the top here:

Spoonful of Sunday is an extremely self-indulgent Alan Davies/Stephen Fry QI RPF coffee shop AU that we wrote largely to amuse ourselves that comes at over 40k

Bite the Night is a terribly cliched and rather smutty Strictly Craig/Bruno werewolf fic of over 26k. I regret nothing.

The longest single-authored fic however is I'm Your Man which is also over 26k of d/s flavoured Will/Ethan Mission: Impossible shy shenanigans.


Least words

I have... *goes to count* over 70 drabbles of 100 words exactly so I'm not exactly going to list them all here. Instead I picked three horror/dark ones (all pairings mostly in my head rather than explictly on paper)

Postlude (Supernatural, Sam/Dean)

Teeth (Doctor Who, Tenth Doctor/The Master)

Crime (Stargate Atlants, Rodney/Radek)

Not at all sure what it says about me that I liked Spoonful of Sunday best of everything mentioned here though the Grimm undercover one comes a close second.

[kat_lair]

I think it says that sometimes nothing can beat a cutesy coffee show au because escapism is a valid coping method? :D Still of course utterly delighted that you liked that frothy cup of feelings!

[pushkin666]

I saw this meme as well and thought I'd try it out. Will post tomorrow. Spoonful of Sugar and Bite the Night are definitely two of my favourite fics for very different reasons.

[kat_lair]

I re-read Spoonful not too long ago and spotted like at least two timeline errors but was too lazy to go correct them :D It was still fucking ridiculous plateful of sugar cookies but I am fond of it.

[pushkin666]

I am fond of it too, but long fic has that problem doesn't it.

[corvidology]

I love that you've written for such huge fandoms... and then written things like QI RPF which could be a huge fandom for all I know but I doubt it!

[kat_lair]

Haha yeah I have both big fandoms and then small obscure ones. QI RPF definitely pretty small though there is some fic for it.

[turps]

I like the sound of 'where the street have no name'

[kat_lair]

It is extremely self-indulgent and clichéd 😁😁😁

[lunabee34]

I love seeing everyone's stats.

[kat_lair]

Sometimes you can tell why something is popular by some measure (big/active fandom, popular pairing) and sometimes you're just '...eh?' Fascinating.

[mekare]

Ah thank you for doing this and reminding me of Black Lotus! I am in the mood for rereading old favourites.

[kat_lair]

Hee! Enjoy! :D
