Most Hits on AO3

[alixtii]

So, the ten fics of mine on AO3 with the most hits? Seven of them are <user name="yuletide" site="livejournal.com"> fics: Though I Walk Through the Shadow (T:TSCC, John/Savannah), If on a Yuletide morn a slasher (Calvino litfic), Beleza and the B.E.A.S.T.  (fairy tales), The Children's Crusade  (T:TSCC, Sarah & Savannah), The Orphans (Arthurian legend, Arthur/Morgan), Glories Stream  (Dar Williams), and Dancing Lessons (Arcadia, Thomasina/Septimus). Yuletide really gets you eyeballs on your fics.

Perhaps surprisingly, two of the remaining three are also in Yuletide-elligible fandoms: The iPhone of Queen Susan (Narnia, Petrer/Susan) at #4 and Fatherhood (Parent Trap, gen) at #8. I explain the iPhone fic by pointing out it's a kinky fic (spanking) in a fandom that most people have basic knowledge of, but I'm not quite sure how to explan the Parent Trap fic.

#10 is Quartet for Two Voices  (BtVS, Giles/Kennedy). I was even more heavy on the freeform tags than usual with that fic, so I'm thinking people found it while searching for lesbian characters of color and such.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has boxes of books stored away. I picaodirelly pull some out to my TBR shelf, rearrange the contents, or add to them. As you say, it is a luxery knowing I will never want for anything to read, ranging from romance to mystery to thriller to the classics. I mostly decide what to read next based on challenges I've committed to this year, or books/authors picked for monthly group reads. This year I joined the "Year of the Historical" challenge, determined to catch up on Johanna Lindsey. I had bought the last dozen or so books by her, but never got round to them. It's been fun catching up on her! I've also been trying to work in a few authors I've not read before and, since most of those I read are female, I've been trying to work in a few more male authors this year. So far, so good!
