AO3 Hit Count Meme

[laceblade]

So, the point of this meme is actually to post your "top 10 fic" in terms of hit counts.

I haven't posted 10 fics, so this essentially just means that I link to all the fic I've ever uploaded to the AO3, lol.
My hit counts seem woefully small compared to other people's, but it might be interesting to compare the numbers a year later, or something.

I'm also trying to stop comparing my popularity with other people's.

A Song is a Weapon (Glee, gen fic): 375 hits

Untitled (Avatar: the Last Airbender, Toph/Zuko): 360

Bad Habit (FF7, Tifa/Cloud 100 word drabble): 225 hits

Don't say you're not lonely (Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon, gen fic): 155 hits

For What It's Worth (Angel the series, gen fic): 141 hits

Limit Break (FF7, gen fic): 98 hits

Set This Very Second On Fire (Glee, gen fic): 37 hits

---

It feels strange that I was never able to complete the FF7 Inception-AU. There's a whole pile of words I've written but never posted.
Although the same is true of all the unposted passages I have in my Scrivener file for A Song is a Weapon, though. I have better hopes for finishing ASiaW, though!

Try using more tags? For tropes, the episode it goes with when applicable, that sort of thing. And sometimes people are browsing a fandom/tag/etc looking for summaries that catch their eye, so making sure they all have summaries might help. Also, fixing the formatting on the Sailor Moon one, so the paragraphs aren't all crammed together.

...and that's all the AO3 hit-garnering tips I can think of. Aside from "write something super-tropey with explicit m/m in a megafandom," at least.

I just try to compare my counts with my other fics to see what catches eyes in general cause otherwise I'd make myself sad. I am getting more kudos than I did comments on lj/dw by the time ao3 appeared though so yay to that XD
