Fic Memery!
Top and Bottom Five Fics According to Kudos
I was tagged by the jealousy-inducingly-talented @lvslie . Thank you very much, dahling!!! <3 <3 <3
I thought about being fancy and cross-referencing between platforms to see which of my fics were the most and least popular across all the vast wide information superhighway, because it seems to vary according to website, but then I realized math would be involved, and math makes me sad. So AO3 it is!
What are your five most popular works? (in descending order)
Scientific Curiosity: Lol is this the fluffiest damn thing I’ve ever written...? It probably is! Just a little ol’ piece of cotton-candy fluff, lying in wait to give you a cavity.
Professional Detachment/Bedside Manner: Aww, it’s bebbie’s very first venture into pr0n! I’m so proud. ::sniffle::
One Percent: I’ll admit I didn’t expect to see this one up here, if only because it’s (purposefully) jarringly non-linear, and like...unhappy. It’s just got this undercurrent of uneasy unhappiness throughout the whole damn thing. I knew how it would end from the very start, and typed it gleefully, cackling the all the while like the little shit-monger I am. Mm, delicious, delicious pain.
Revelations in Dream-Time: So this was partially inspired by an actual dream I had one morning? Which is part of why dreams are such a prevalent theme, and why I tried to lend sort of a dreamlike quality to the piece. I quite like it. It’s smut, but it’s thinky smut. With random literary references!
Voice and Shadow: My bae. Will probably be, always and forever, one of my favorite things I’ve ever produced in any media. I listened to Depeche Mode’s “Angel” on almost endless repeat while writing it and I like to think you can feel the sinuous creepiness lurking throughout.
Now on to the fics that will make me feel bad about myself! :D

What are your five least popular works? (in ascending order)
Classroom Antics: Eh, I can’t say I’m surprised. I mean, I like it, but femslash almost always seems to fly a bit under the radar, and does Jenny/Clara qualify as a rarepair...? Anyhoo, this here fic has the distinction of being my lowest-kudo’d fic on AO3, so congratulations! XD
Edge of the World: My first Nine fic! And 624 words of pure angst. I regret nothing.
Of Daydreams and Kisses: Aww, poor fluffy fem!Nine, don’t worry bebbie, I still love you.
Prologue: Aftermath: Ah yes, the depressing prologue to my ever-languishing Defenders of the Altverse series. It’s just the Doctor being numb and sad after the events of Canary Wharf. I mean, I like it, it’s one of the first things I ever wrote and my super-excellent sestra @frolldo made some suggestions that really helped shape it from something okay into something interesting, but yeah, it’s pretty unhappy from start to finish.
Sudden Impulse: And another femslash! I like this one quite a lot--though to be fair, pretty much all my fluffy li’l Rose x fem!Doctor ficlets have a special place in my heart--so I will love it enough to make up for the love it doesn’t get elsewhere, lolol. It’s just some tropey fluff with just enough angst thrown in to make it all the sweeter at the end, but goddammit, I like it.
I thought I might spot a trend in either the most or least popular fics, and...! Nope. Not even a little bit. :D
And now for my next trick, Imma tag @helplesslynerdy @abadplanwellexecuted @wordsintimeandspace @fadewithfury and @gingergallifreyan for when she returns. If you’d like to do the thing, by all means, do the thing! :3
