2020 In Fic

[respoftw]

It's time for my yearly look at the statistics page on AO3.....

First Up, I know there are inherent issues with using the AO3 statistics page by year but I'm going with it for ease.

So, without further ado...here's some stats from my 2020 fics - Under a cut because this is genuinely of no interest to anyone but me!

38 fics posted
25,901 words written
3,031 kudos received
327 comment threads
188 bookmarks
14 subscriptions
16,389 hits - a kudos/hits ratio of 18.49%

This has been my least productive year word count wise since I started writing fic but, 2020, yo. I hope to prioritise writing more in 2021.

Most Hits
Reading Between The Lines at 1,220 hits. this makes sense as it was the first fic I posted in 2020.

Most Kudos, Comment Threads and Bookmarks
With Immediate Effect (my most recently posted fic?) at 173 Kudos, 27 comment threads and 41 bookmarks

Least Hits
Supernatural Problems at 201 hits

Least Kudos
it’s a tie between Supernatural Problems and I Need You To Know at 38 kudos each

Least Comment Threads
Winter Wonderland, Candy Overload and Supernatural Problems (again) are tied at just 2 comment threads each.

Least Bookmarks
A Long Soak, I Need You To Know and (I’m sensing a theme) Supernatural Problems all have 0.


Kudos/Hits Ratio
My least successful fic was my first fic of the year, Reading Between The Lines with only 12.54% of the hits generating a kudos

My most successful, with 25.29% of hits generating a kudos was my my final fic of the year, With Immediate Effect

Hmm, I wonder if this suggests that there are a lot of people “hitting” the fic multiple times but only being able to leave kudos once?

Finally, my own personal favourite fic that I wrote this year:
With Immediate Effect. Who knew writing Woolsey would be so much fun?
