AO3 hits meme thing

[branchandroot]

I'm actually going to tweak this a bit.



Population Adjustments and Not My Fault, both By/Ivan fic for the Vorkosiverse.

A Better Trap, which is Ciel/Sebastian mind-porn and all about Sebastian's bondage kink.

Ever, my FMA fluff-and-politics multi-part, lots of Roy/Ed.

Experienced, Kuroshitsuji again, wherein Ciel uses Sebastian for his very own brand of desensitization therapy.

Abiding, which is frankly adorable Watanuki/Doumeki.

Glow, which is a sequel to "Ever".

Morning, which is the immediate sequel to "Ever".

The Wave that Turns the Tide, yet more adorable Doumeki/Watanuki fluff, though set a bit later.

Keeping Up with the Vongolas, which is actually the third part of the Tenth!Xanxus arc and features Tsuna setting in as outside adviser.


Conclusion: People still like my Roy/Ed romances a whole lot, Holic fluff is always in, and Kuroshitsuji porn is hot.

Now, the ten with the least hits:

Heat Prostration, written for the Gilgamesh anime, it's kind of mind-porn and quite weird..

Blood and Thunder, KHR, one of the most recent I've posted, and focused on Chrome.

Fortune, my Atobe/Yukimura fic, low on hits despite having two comments, a kudo, and a bookmark.

Irregular, Jackal/Marui porn.

Light to Walk By, a Meine Liebe fic, focused on Nicholas.

Hashira, I believe this was my very first PoT fic, exploring the dynamic of Seigaku.

Copper and Candlelight, a Fushigi Yuugi fic, starting off my post-canon arc about Yui and how she might put her life back together after getting the short end of the fairy-tale stick.

Sartorial Splendor, more of the Nicholas fic arc.

Iron and Stone The next installment of the Yui arc.

Fire and Gravel, a fic focused on Fudoumine's Ibu, in which he does /not/ ramble endlessly but is, instead, more than a little dangerous.

Conclusions: Plot-fic about characters who are not wildly popular or central gets very little attention. Even hot porn about an unexpected pairing tends not to get read, no matter how well known you are for writing very hot porn indeed.

*eyes you* Lots of grading to do, huh? *grins*

I would do this meme but it would depress me.

[branchandroot]

*rueful* Well, yes.

I can't say as I blame you; looking at hits for stuff I do a lot of "what, seriously?".

[dancing_serpent]

I don't think I've read any of them except the Kuroshitsuji ones. *g* I still prefer your YnM and Monochrome Factor fics.

But yeah, hit counts...I disabled any hit count display for AO3 right away. I'd rather not know.

[branchandroot]

*thoughtful* You know, you might actually like Meine Liebe. There's interesting politics, slash dripping off the frames, and some tasty relationship dynamics.

[dancing_serpent]

Hm, I don't know. I like Kaori Yuki, but I have a problem with the title. And I just can't get over the name of that boarding school. That...*shudder*...argh. So many silly German names.

Too much German/too many German names in anime/manga is generally a problem for me. For example, while I adore 07-Ghost, all those German expressions and names make me cringe a lot.

[branchandroot]

*rueful* Yes, and they are /deliberately/ ridiculous, too. Ten times more difficult to ignore when you know what they actually mean (and, sometimes, how badly they're mangled). If you ever can, though, there's some tasty D/s to be had out of it.

[dancing_serpent]

*snicker* Right now I'd say chances for me getting over it are really bad, but who knows? Never say never and all that.
