AO3 hits and kudos part one

Doesn't that sound scary?
I'm doing that top ten hits and kudos at AO3 meme, because I'm proud of my babies. Maybe some of you will look at this list and wonder what it is I do and go take a look. I really am much more than weird, rambly posts about my personal life. :)

Here we go--*two* lists, one Supernatural and one Smallville, because I love my SV babies, too.

My Smallville AO3 top ten.
My SV stories get many more hits than my SpN stories. I'm not sure why. I don't think these stories are better than my SpN stories but people seem to like them better. Why as why? ;)

I had just as much fun writing about Clark and Lex as about Sam and Dean. Sam and Dean are easier to write AUs about because you don't have to come up with some logical kind of reason why neither of them are using their superpowers, oy! What a headache that was. And there's the thing that as much as I adore Clex, like, really, really insanely loved it and breathed it for years and still love them, it's easier for me to identify with The Boys, easier to spin AUs. AU is my life, yo.

Well, your Smallville stories have been out there longer. Do you know if AO3 maybe imported the hit figures from the SSA when they bulk imported the stories?

No, they didn't import hit counts, just the fic.

And the hits I get from the SSA stories and from the same stories I posted to the archive aren't totaled together. I think that SV readers are just more generous. :)

*pets all the pretty SV stories* So many of my fave SV fics are on this list. *G* I may be a wee bit biased. ♥

Heeeeeeee! Neat. :) I need to put more stuff up at AO3....

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2015-05-16 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
YES! You do. :)

Wow, that's an amazing count. Sadly my stories don't get as much tlc, but oh well ... I still think yours is fantastic!

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2015-05-16 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, but those numbers are deceiving! Those fics have been at the archive for *years*--those are all cumulative hits. Believe me, it took a *reeeeeelly* long time to get those hits! :D

All I can say is I wish I had those numbers. Of course, I totally understand why yours are higher. *grin*

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2015-05-16 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
You do have these numbers! And after number 10 on this list, it drops off like you wouldn't believe, lol!

What gets me is that if kudos count as saying 'I like it', that means 1100 people clicked on Firebird, but only 28 of them liked it. *shrugs*

Thanks for posting these. I discovered slash through Smallville and many of these bring back good memories! Keep up your writing as you do it so well!

Thank you so much! Smallville was a great place to discover slash, wasn't it? :)
