lucymonsterSeen around Dreamwidth! rules: give us the links to your fics with the most hits, most kudos, most comments, most bookmarks, most words, and least words.
Most hits: Conditions of Release. Original Work,Townsmen/Woman Sentenced to Public Use, 2.5k, E-rated M/F noncon. This is my most-clicked fic by a ridiculous amount! It has 98.6k hits; the runner-up (which is also OW M/F noncon) has less than half that.
Most kudos: decisions made in your absence. Captain America, Sam/Steve/Bucky, 5k, E-rated poly get-together. 2.2k kudos. I wrote this in 2014 when the fandom was at its peak but the ship tag was still comparatively quiet, so I think it got quite a boost from that.
Most comments: The Burning Season. Star Wars, Reylo, 66k (unfinished), E-rated post-TLJ fic. 199 comment threads, 380 total comments (including my replies and a bit of chatter in the comments section). This fic is my eternal WIP shame: I was pushing myself to try something new by publishing on a strict weekly schedule. But the lack of editing/reflection time coupled with my evolving feelings about the ship meant I eventually locked myself into a story that was no longer exactly where I wanted to go. My motivation crumbled and I never finished the last few chapters. It's been more than five years since my last update; at this point, I don't know if I can go back.
Most bookmarks: Conditions of Release again. Nearly 700 bookmarks, only 200 of them public, lol. No great mystery why.
Most words: The Burning Season takes this out by default, but I'm going to focus on my longest finished fic: Metaesthesia. Bleach, Byakuya & Renji, 32.5k, messy gen bodyswap. Writing this remains one of my fondest fandom memories: I'm really proud of what I achieved with it, and I was working really closely with a good fandom friend as beta/cheerleader/co-figure-outerer whose support got me past my usual longfic motivation slump. I think the fact that I shared this fic with someone but not everyone was key: plugging away at WIPs in private gets lonely after the first 15k or so, but publishing my fics before they're finished only ever seems to end in paralysis.
Least words: I've published 9 drabbles (100 words exactly, tyvm), mostly in various Star Wars subfandoms.
