I periodically look at my AO3 stats and note trends, but I've never reliably documented those stats. I'm gonna try to change that. Let's see if it works.

My ten most popular fics, by hits, for all years (since I started posting to the AO3):

The 2020 stats in isolation are a lot less interesting.

The one thing I didn't account for:

I have 384,198 words archived on the AO3, which accounts for most (but not all) of the fic that I've written since 2011 or thereabouts. I did write some things anonymously that I chose not to claim, and I deleted at least one fic. I also have 11 user subscriptions, which I am extremely proud of, considering the fact that I've written over 100K cumulative words of a rarepair in a tiny fandom. I don't think there's a conclusion to this post, but it is interesting to note.

I sniffed around my AO3 stats page and found very few surprises, except that four people subscribed to my fics, and all of them were completed ones. What did entertain me was trying to suss out the hits-to-kudos ratio and where it was lowest. There could be all sorts of causes for a low ratio, but the main contributers are, I think, small fandoms and rarepairs. Also, some fandoms are just more awesome like that (c.f. Cinders).

Naturally, this is not an accurate science, especially since AO3 doesn't generate this stat. I started from the fics with the lowest hit count as the immediate suspects. Hits/Kudos Ratio )

My second-least-hit fic of 2013 has the highest ratio, and the only single digit figure. As I said, I attribute this more to an unusually low hit count due to backdating.

Predictions: Not much will change. )
