I just looked at my AO3 stats and confirmed something I’d been feeling for a while.
My top fics by hits, kudos, subscriptions etc remain my oldest ones native to AO3, which are SG:A and MCU fics. (The one Good Omens fic is in the top 5 if I sort by Most Bookmarked.) By kudos, still it’s that old SG:A kidfic A/U that got recced somewhere popular once, followed up with that one MCU Stucky fic that came out at the height of that craze. But Meet Death Sitting creeps into third, by kudos.
Bookmarks, the older fics still dominate, none of the Witcher stuff has cracked that stat. But subscriptions– Ancient Sea creeps into fourth, on that leaderboard. (And third is one of the Star Wars fics.)
And by comment thread count? Well, one of the Stucky ones still leads, by a fair margin, but Ancient Sea is in second, and Little Fishie’s in fourth.
Y’all talk a lot, Witcher peeps. Y’all talk a lot to me, and that’s pretty sweet. I like that. Thank you!
(To be fair, hit counts don’t drop off that much as a fic ages, so your oldest stuff is going to stay atop that leaderboard for a long time– even if one of your newer fics gets very popular, there’s often spillover from people checking out your old stuff if your popular thing is any good, so it’s hard to beat a five-year lead on something. Kudos taper off a bit, but don’t vanish entirely. But comments do; the vast majority of comments on a fic come while it’s being posted, and immediately after completion, then die off. I love comments on super old fic unless they’re sort of mean or, like. Why Did You Abandon This, etc., which like, listen, I know, but it doesn’t help.)
Ha, that said, I just this moment got a comment on something from 2014, so. SG:A’s still got shooters out there. I see you.
