AO3 Hits meme
Apr. 19th, 2012 09:41 amOut of curiosity, I checked my stats at AO3, and looked at my top ten hit-counts for fic. Well, first I mistakenly told it so sort by word count and got really confused, but then I hit the right button and it made more sense. I am not counting my "fic" which is just a collection of TTH drabbles.
( Top Ten Beatrice Otter fics by word count )Huh. Some things jump out at me.
4 fics from 2010, 5 from 2011, 1 from 2009. Is this because my recent stuff is better, because more people read on AO3 now than they used to, what?
4 fics are crossovers, and only two (Wanky Wormhole, Reflections in Moving Water) are in large fandoms, though several are in good-sized fandoms where lots of people know the source material even if they don't generally write much. (Pride and Prejudice, Disney Princesses, Mary Poppins, probably even Temeraire and Vorkosigan Saga fit here.) This is probably because I love crossovers, and since SG-1 ended I have been fannish in general but not consumed by any one fandom, certainly not any one large fandom.
4 are Yuletide fics, and all but one are from a ficathon of some sort--and that one is a sequel to one of the others. I'm not sure if that says more about the fact that most of my writing (well, posted writing) this last couple of years is ficathon-based, or that ficathons tend to have a built-in audience.
I wish AO3 had something like ff.net's statistics page, because it's fascinating to see things like when the hits come, and where they come from.
