AO3 Stats Meme

redfiona99The AU meme did what I wanted it to do - keep me posting regularly. I will see if I can brush up some of the mini-fics to make them more generally shareable, without impacting [mysterious project].
The posting regularly is important though - I find it helps my writing overall.
In that spirit, I will try to post every Friday - barring socialising, fencing, and other similar things.
Unfortunately, it will be a lot of memes. Starting with a re-run of the AO3 Stats Meme, originally pinched fromselenak.
1. The 3 fanfics with the most comments:
Three Times Is Either Enemy Action or Cowley (Professionals gen, 19 comments)
Walking In These Shoes (Iron Man, Pepper/Tony, written for lgbtfest, 14 comments)
You Should See Them In Practise (Harry Potter, Oliver Wood/Marcus Flint, written for a comment_fic prompt, 11 comments) - with regard to one commenter, if any of you have any good Wood/Flint recs, please pass them on to her.
2. Your 3 fanfics with the most kudos:
You Should See Them In Practise (203 kudos)
Walking In These Shoes (197 kudos)
Hope, Possibly (Love, Actually fic, Sarah/Karl post-film fic, written forthedevilchicken, 74 kudos) That one's had its yearly bump.
3. Your oldest fanfic
Of the ones on AO3, there being a fair few that aren't on there for quality and other reasons, Eternity, which is Linda McMahon/Vince McMahon song fic in answer to a challenge on the WWFSML, which might tell you how far it goes back. It was originally posted on 26th June 2001.
4. Your latest fanfic:
A Suitable Husband (Last of the Summer Wine gen fic, written for lgbtfest because I still write at snail speed)
5. Fanfic you are proudest of:
It probably still is "Walking In These Shoes", because it has character stuff and plot and it works. Because I have the greatest difficulty in actually writing plot. Also people liked it. Which is also good :)
6. Your longest fanfic:
Has also not changed. The Time Between, which is X-Men: First Class ensemble gen fic, written for the X-Men Ficathon forlilacsigil. 9077 words.
Which also has both plot and character stuff so it was the other option as an answer for question 5. Also, the recipient liked it, which since it was for an exchange is the most important thing.
8. The 3 fanfics with the most bookmarks:
Walking In These Shoes (29), You Should See Them In Practise (14) and We Need A Better Plan B (gen Guardians of the Galaxy fic, written for a Comment_Fic prompt, 11 bookmarks)
9. Your Top 3 Crossover fics:
I finally finished the Torchwood/Captain America fic I mentioned last time I did this ... 6 years ago (snails, sloths and I are intrinsically linked). And yet they say you shouldn't meet your heroes It is my only proper crossover fic - although I am working on the sequel.
10. Overall conclusions:
Some stats, or the order fics having in them, have changed in the six years, others have not.
The last time I did this must have been just before the bizarre stratospheric rise for "You Should See Them In Practise", which went from mid-pack to fic with the second most hits. I am not complaining, I just don't understand how it happened (I am presuming a recs list somewhere).
I'm still convinced I write better to prompts and probably ought to do more fests, exchanges etc except I am also flaky and prone to being busy with little warning.
