Borrowed from
lost_spook, because if she does a meme so must I, apparently ;)
1. Your 3 fanfics with the most comments:
First Shoots - Little Women (15 comment threads)
Travellers' Tales - Swallows and Amazons (9 comment threads)
Purple and Crimson and Golden - Anne of Green Gables (7 comment threads)
Yay for fic exchanges! That's two Yuletides and a Fic Corner.
2. Your 3 fanfics with the most kudos:
First Shoots - Little Women (44 kudos)
Ridiculous - X-Factor RPF (34 kudos)
Movies and Nightmares - X-Factor RPF (30 kudos)
Now that is interesting - I wondered if the skewed kudos-to-comments ratios for the second and third might have something to do with them being RPF and people preferring more anonymity for those, so I went to look at the kudo leavers. Sure enough, for the Little Women fic most are from signed in users, while for the other two they're mostly from guests.
3. Your oldest fanfic:
The oldest posted is Hoping, Praying, Waiting (Little Women) from December 2009. The oldest on fanfiction.net is Hazel Eyes (Artemis Fowl), from June 2008... I know there's an older one somewhere on mugglenet, and I dug it out for another meme sometime, but I think we shall let it rest in peace this time ;)
4. Your latest fanfic:
Light in Shadows - Harry Potter. That's a ficlet from fandom_stocking... Hrm, I don't guarantee things were crossposted in proper order, but it's one of the latest at least.
5. The fanfic you're most proud of:
Ah, I never know what to say for these! I'm proud of Misinformation as being my longest, and one of the few with an actual plot. I'm also very fond of Words to Build and its look at Ginny's recovery. Oh! And Wilkilen y la Sombra/Wilkilen and the Shadow - my only bilingual fic, and I think I did a decent job of capturing the canon's writing style.
6. Your longest fanfic:
Misinformation - Chalet School (13331 words). You have no idea how happy it makes me that the word count is a palindromic number :D
There's also this dear-God-how-is-it-still-unfinished-we-only-had-one-chapter-left collaboration with my sister: June's Diary (Malory Towers, 61145 words), but she did more of the actual writing, I was more sounding-board/ignored beta/provider of sarcasm and snark (a fair bit of what Alicia says is mine).
8. Your 3 fanfics with the most bookmarks:
There's actually four with 4 bookmarks each:
Travellers' Tales - Swallows and Amazons
Words to Build - Harry Potter
Aftermath - Old Kingdom
Fairy Tales - Anne of Green Gables
9. Your Top 3 Crossover fics:
I only have two proper crossovers, Mirror Mirror (Doctor Who/Alice Through the Looking-Glass, 3 kudos) and Misinformation alternate ending (Chalet School/Harry Potter, 3 comments, 2 kudos), so I suppose those win by default! There's a few Firefly+Serenity, Hobbit+LOTR, entire MCU type of things, but I don't think those count as crossovers properly.

But I think that it is probably also true about RPF, if more so for shippy stuff.

Date: 2016-02-05 02:05 am (UTC)Yes, that's a good point about where the fandom lives, I hadn't thought of it. It's funny how some fandoms are all over, while others have very specific niches... Obviously the larger a fandom is the more places it has, and the type of original media plays a part - I get the feeling that visual media, eg TV and films, have a larger Tumblr presence, for example (though of course everyone's Tumblr experience is defined by who they follow!).
Also, I suspect new fandoms tend to be mainly on multifandom sites, like Tumblr, AO3, fanfiction.net, and so on, while older ones (especially those coming from the fanzine days?) are more concentrated on fandom-specific sites and archives? Or at least, new fandoms have a presence on the 'big' sites that's comparable to that of their specific sites. For example, I'm thinking of The Mentalist - which has its own board(s), but also decent-sized fanfiction.net, AO3 and (I suspect but am not checking because spoilers!) Tumblr following - vs the Chalet School - where I'd say easily 90% of fannish activity is concentrated in the specific boards and sites.
... And I shall stop rambling at you now ;)

You're definitely right about age of fandom making a difference - and sometimes with older fandoms that are picking up new fans, you can have two entirely different sort of generational groups based in different places. I suppose this has always been true to some extent, though.
