estiroseAs I gear up for Yuletide (and am distracted slightly by the new series of GARO), I thought I'd do this meme again.
Versal & Marginalia (1139 hits, December 2010, Yuletide)
It's going to take a long, long time before any fic of mine gets this high a hit count on AO3. The amazing part is that nearly 10 months later, this is still averaging 2.33 hits/day, all for a fic whose fandom I didn't meet until mid-December. Popular Yuletide fandom for the win?
Loki and the Cup of Jonar (375 hits, December 2009, Yuletide)
Before Versal came about, this was my highest hitter, a fic about Loki's misadventures as poetry. Again, Norse Myth is a relatively big/popular Yuletide fandom, so I'm not surprised it did well.
Songuisendus Anuncemise (313 hits, December 2010, Yuletide)
I suspect this would be making Versal's hit counts if it hadn't been in Yuletide Madness. Which is fine, because it's nice to not have my top two fics be Mulan, but it's kind of amusing.
A Most Content Husband (301 hits, December 2009, Yuletide)
My Gokusen fic tends to be relatively popular, and I think it's because Gokusen is another relatively large Yuletide fandom. I think my prior Yuletide Gokusen fic was a little better, but it doesn't hurt that both of them were the popular Yankumi/Sawada pairing.
The Dreamt-of Call (249 hits, August 2011, None)
It probably shouldn't surprise anybody that this Power Rangers RPM AU, which currently clocks in at 16 chapters, is in the top ten. It's long, it's interesting, and I need to figure out what the hell I'm doing with it.
The One Whose Head Fits On Your Shoulder (The Dental Caries Remix) (225 hits, May 2011, Remix Redux)
I like fleshing out OCs and minor characters, so I'm very fond of this fic, which does just that for two minor OCs in lazulisong's "Happy Summer Wedding". I suspect the popularity is because it is a remix of that popular Kamen Rider Kabuto fic and less so for my character development skills.
The One Left Out (The Grumpy Genius Remix) (206 hits, May 2010, Remix Redux)
This was my first remix of someone else's fic ever, so I have to admit I was pretty scared. Still, it's racked up a pretty good amount of hits for a fic about Cam from Ninja Storm coping with not being chosen again.
For All The Flaws (182 hits, December 2009, Yuletide)
I'm still surprised at how relatively well this Earth: Final Conflict fic did for something about Boone wondering if he's in love with Da'an. (Hayfork is a real town, btw.)
Burden of a Cradle (174 hits, September 2011, None)
This is another long fic, 13 chapters and counting, about Ahim and Gai dealing with becoming parents after the end of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger.
Never Give Up (167 hits, December 2009, Yuletide)
This was my assignment fic for Yuletide 2009, which has Kento/Mei overtones, to put it politely. I'm surprised this is still in the top ten, because the pairing's not that popular.
