Meme

[sangerin]

So, there's that AO3 meme.

1. And Your People Shall Be My People, Fried Green Tomatoes, Ruth/Idgie, Yuletide 2009 - 1073 hits

2. Going the Distance, St Trinians 2008, Kelly/Annabelle, - 460 hits

3. The Chalet School and Fazia, Chalet School/Sadlers Wells, Gen - 397 hits

4. Bibliophilia (And other words Brittany doesn't know), Glee, Brittany/Santana, Femslash 10 - 336 hits

5. You can't take the sky from me, Firefly, Zoe/Wash, Malcolm/River Remix 2010 - 247 hits

By which it may be shown... that in terms of reader numbers, I totally benefit from ficathons. Also, FGT is popular. (No. 6 is also Ruth/Idgie).

I've been back-uploading Spooksfic to AO3 today: apologies to those who have subscribed to me.

Oh, see, saying "So, there's that AO3 meme" and then listing some answers provides no assistance to those of us with no other friends as to what the dickens the AO3 meme is. Answers without context only serve to confuse a Reb and intrigue her enough to want to know "What?".

You have a very good point.

People have been posting their top ten (I was tired, I only did five) fics as determined by number of hits on the AO3. Those who have had enough time/energy/mental powers have also provided some analysis as to why (by fandom, challenge, whether posted directly to AO3 or imported as an "old" fic).

Aah. No, I didn't get that at all, but now that I do, I am even more interested in your answers :)

Also it's possible your FGT fic is one that I see every now and then and think "Ooh, FGT fic!" then read and realise I've read it before, but if not, or even if it is, I shall read it now.

I had not read it before, and I also read the Firefly one and the Glee one. Love them all! I particularly like this line in the FGT one:

'I'm undressing my bee charmer,' Ruth replied softly.

I can hear movie!Ruth's accent and see her shy but cheeky smile perfectly.

Yay fic. Thanks for doing this meme so I could read these :)

Oh, I'm so glad you liked it! I really do like that fic, and I'm quite proud that it's up the top of my 'hit list' on AO3 (so to speak).
