AO3 Hits meme!

Via [personal profile] fox, my top ten stories according to the hits they've gotten on the AO3:


1. A Little Mental Yoga (Southland, John/Ben, NC-17, telepathy). This one has almost three times the hits the next closest story has. This one was too long to post in one part to LJ, so since I was posting in one part on DW, I just posted on AO3 at the same time and linked DW and AO3 when I announced it on LJ. Other than that I have no idea why it has so many hits. Other than its inherent awesomeness, of course. *g*

2. Turn Up the Signal (Wipe Out the Noise) (Sherlock, Sherlock/John, NC-17, Sherlock's near-telepathy). Uh... Sherlock is a bigger fandom than anything else I've written recently?

3. This Flesh and Bone (White Collar, Neal/Peter/Elizabeth-ish, post-S1). I think White Collar was one of the fandoms that migrated early to AO3. Other than that, I got nothing.

4. Everything That You Can Keep (Vorkosigan Saga, Aral/Cordelia, Aral/Jole, NC-17). This is another one that's not available on LJ.

5. Get Loved, Make More, Try to Stay Alive (Torchwood, Jack/Ianto, less than 19% mpreg by volume). I think this is the single most popular story I've ever written, by comments and delicious bookmarks and so on, so no surprise it's on the list. And it didn't make it onto the AO3 until more than a year after I first posted it, which explains why it's at #5.

7. The Season of Grace (Oxford Time Travel series, Kivrin). My first Yuletide story on AO3!

6. As You Tap on Your Glass (Vorkosigan Saga, Aral/Cordelia, pre-Aral/Jole).
8. Fingers in the Notches on Your Spine (Vorkosigan Saga, Aral/Cordelia, pre-Aral/Jole).
9. When the Reckoning Arrives (Vorkosigan Saga, Jole) I think at some point the entire Aral/Jole series was recced by someone who linked to the handy-dandy AO3 series page, which has perhaps pushed up all the hit counts for stories in the series.

10. In an Instant (Southland, John and Ben). Apparently the AO3 is the place to go for Southland fic?
