Most Hits: 500mL, 17K+ hits
Kinky PWP for a large slash pairing in a megafandom, written as a response to a kinkmeme prompt back when the kinkmeme was really active - this one is not surprising at all. I'm still fond of it though! Avengers, Bruce/Tony, watersports + manhandling.
Most Kudos & Bookmarks: A Lonely, Lost Thing, 689 kudos, 152 bookmarks
Technically gen fic, but it was pre-slash. Again, in a megafandom and written as a response to a kinkmeme prompt back when the kinkmeme was active, but this time a rare pair! This was conceived as the first fic in a giant sprawling poly series, but I only ever got to some of my Rhodey/Tony pieces before I lost confidence in it.
Most Comment Threads: Sudden and Silent in its Arrival, 39 comment threads.
This one was a multi-chapter fic posted in installments, which does increase comment threads. Still Avengers, but Pepper/Rhodey/Tony AU fic that I banged out in my most successful NaNoWriMo, so I was quite pleased with the reception.
Most Words: Sudden and Silent in its Arrival again, 24K words.
The longest thing I've ever written, by a lot! Someday I would really like to write something lengthy again. It was such a different feeling experience, to get so immersed in the world of the fic. My little ficlets don't take up anywhere near that amount of brain space!
Least Words: Killers, 150 words
Mad Max: Fury Road fic! I'm quite fond of it, actually, though I was never very deep in the fandom and only wrote this one fic for it. Written for Drabbletag6 in the femslash100 community on LiveJournal. You will notice, it is not actually a drabble! I love ficlets, but 100 words is just SO short. My ideas I think most comfortably fit in 300-500 word range.
Because I am very multi-fannish, I cannot let this post stand with almost exclusively Avengers fic on it! So I'm also going to post the first non-Avengers fic in each category:
Most Hits (non-Avengers): Control, 5.6K hits, 8th most hits overall
Inception, Arthur/Saito, watersports PWP. Apparently the key to hits is slash watersports PWPs? I like this one better than the Bruce/Tony one, though, because it's one of those fics that turned out exactly the way I wanted it to. That's a rare thing!
Most Kudos & Bookmarks (non-Avengers): The Floor Under Our Feet Whispers, 456 kudos, 104 bookmarks, 3rd most kudos & bookmarks overall
Teen Wolf, Derek Hale/Sheriff Stilinski, fluffy get-together fic with a hint of praise kink. Very rare pair in a mega fandom; I had no idea how this one would be received, but I was pleasantly surprised! I think I successfully tapped into the fandom's desire for Derek to have nice things.
Most Comment Threads (non-Avengers): In the Shape of You, 15 comment threads, 5th most comment threads overall
Okay, I cheated. It's the Teen Wolf fic again. But this Warehouse 13 fic is just below it! And since it's femslash, I'm going to exclude the TW fic to get more diversity on my board here. Besides, I'm very fond of how this came out - it was experimental for me, writing a ficlet for each of 10 prompts, each of which can stand on its own, but together they tell a complete story. Myka/Helena, angst with a happy(ish) ending.
Most Words (non-Avengers): Your Want is Bigger Than You, 6K words, 3rd most words overall
Elementary, Joan/Ms. Hudson, most important tag here is "Everything is Better with Dragons." I'm very happy with this fic too, because it gave me the opportunity to put a bunch of ideas I had floating around in my head about Ms. Hudson's role as a muse and how possessiveness works in polyamorous relationships onto paper. And the audience that found the fic seemed to resonate with those thoughts! Which is a lovely feeling.
