Random Writing meme
Tuesday, February 25th, 2025 08:17 pmMy Reading Wednesday posts would be pretty much entirely Elly Griffiths at the moment, so have this meme instead, that I got from
Rules: give us the links to your fics with the most hits, second most kudos, third most comments, fourth most bookmarks, fifth most words, and fic with the fewest words.
Most hits: Love Me, Love Me Not (Carry On (Simon Snow), 3377 hits)
I think this is probably because I wrote it for Yuletide 2017 when the fandom was big. Or at least I imagine it might have been. My top five in hits are all big pairings in big fandoms where I didn't kill anyone off, which probably explains why they have a lot of hits.
Second most kudos: Coming Out (The Non-Binary Remix) (Harry Potter, 154 kudos).
This has about half the kudos of the top one, but it's another big pairing (Remus/Sirius) in a big fandom, back when it was big. I'm not particularly fond of my remix subtitle because it makes me think it's about something else. I came up with it because the title of the fic it remixes is Binary Doesn't Really Cut It.
Third most comment threads: A Matter of Faith (Quantum Leap, 10 comments)
This category is all much closer. This one surprised me, but then it's from Yuletide 2007, so the comments all come from there. It's back in a time when the only option was to comment, so that's probably got a lot to do with it.
Fourth most bookmarks: Double Desolation (Doctor Who, 17 bookmarks)
Oh look, another big (ish) pairing (Missy/Clara) in a big fandom. None of the 8 people who bookmarked it publicly said anything about it, but then they could be bookmarking it to read later.
Fifth most words: is a 17,086 word fic not on AO3 because my vague memories of it tell me I don't want to re-read it. So I'm not going to link to it. On AO3 it's Home, Again (Doctor Who, 10,597 words) and is actually my ninth most words out of all fics, whether on AO3 or not. All but two of those fics were Doctor Who. I was very prolific at one point.
Fewest words: According to AO3 it's Two Weeks which has words (sic). I don't know why it has decided it can't count the words in it.
In reality it's a half drabble I wrote back in the days when I wrote a ton of drabbles: Leaving (Tolkien, 50 words). Given that the address for this ends in "leaving-2" I must have written another fic with the same title. I checked. It's another Elrond drabble. I'm almost amazed I didn't write more Elrond drabbles with that title.
