[Meme] AO3 hit counts

Let's bring this one around again. :) Here are the results from 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012, for comparison purposes.

I currently have 435 stories posted on AO3, which is about 80 more than last year. I still have not cross-posted all my back-catalogue, for various and sundry reasons, so most of those 'new' fics were genuinely written within the past year.

With that said, here are my top ten stories on AO3, by hit count:

1. What Isn't Broken (Can Still Be Fixed) - 16,527 [Naruto, remix]
2. Trollstuck: Make Her Pay - 5,325 [Homestuck, chaptered, WIP]
3. I Must Increase My Bust - 4,438 [Homestuck]
4. Of Stone and of Sky - 4,164 [Homestuck, Ladystuck]
5. Four by Four - 4,045 [Homestuck, chaptered, WIP]
6. With a Vengeance - 3,940 [Naruto]
7. Dreamers of the Day - 3,872 [Inception]
8. More Sins than Condemnation - 3,766 [Naruto]
9. Problems and Solutions (All Things in Time) - 3,424 [Chronicles of Narnia/Stargate: SG-1, remix]
10. Weregild - 3,170 [Inception/Anita Blake, chaptered, WIP]

This is largely the same as last year, barring a few internal rearrangements and "Problems and Solutions" kicking "A History of Handcrafts" down to #11 and therefore off the list. (I believe "Problems and Solutions" was #12 by hit count last year.)

"What Isn't Broken" continues to absolutely crush everything else I've ever written, at least on this particular site. I am not entirely sure why. I mean, it's a good story! But I think several of my other stories are just as good, if not better. Perhaps it's simply that AO3 leans toward slash and that fic is both one of my actual attempts at slash romance and a sort of retroactive 'fix-it' for the way Naruto canon ended.

(By way of comparison, over on ff.net "What Isn't Broken" is only at #12 [19,472], despite having "With a Vengeance" and "More Sins Than Condemnation" tacked on as 'chapters' to increase its hit count. It is completely flattened by "The Way of the Apartment Manager" [448,511], "The Guardian in Spite of Herself" [256,698], "An Ounce of Prevention" [143,109], and "Lemonade" [114,282].)

Anyway, moving on!

( Here are my top ten stories by number of kudos )

The bookmark list continues to share a lot of commonalities with the hit and kudos lists (particularly if you go by the top twenty rather than just the top ten), and the comment list continues to be noticeably different from those three, largely thanks to Yuletide and the Narnia Fic Exchange. :)
