Are you surprised? Why?

Top 5: In general, my not-Hunger Games stuff gets a lot more interaction. Partly because I was late to the HGs party, plus I write mostly OCs, mostly gen, and the canon stuff I do write is mostly a very angry/self-destructive Johanna Mason... so not really funtimes fic. Unsurprisingly my highest-kudos’d HGs fic is Finnick/Annie, but I’m gratified that Rokia’s Games ranks as high as it does. The Breakout Job was for an exchange, so that boosted the stats I’m sure, and the Living Is Harder one got reblogged around on tumblr a bit.

Bottom 5: The first one is an alt-POV of what was already OC-centric fic so no, not surprised at all. How to get away is Johanna-fic that got superseded by my longer 72nd Games fic. You do it better is backstory for Rey and I like it but idk. It’s just messy is canon-compliant femslash written in first person with way more feelings than sex so it’s not exactly kudos-bait (I have an Isabela Problem, y’all). The line between hunger and anger is part 2 of the D9 rebellion; part one only has 14 kudos, and I’m writing part 3 (and probably part 4) ANYWAY because y’all are missing out, this series is my favorite thing I’ve written ever. I’m not surprised that a fic with zero canon characters isn’t popular, but it’s definitely the  “but wait this one’s way better than the popular ones” fic/series. 

Optional: If you want to calculate this, what are your works’ average number of notes?

average kudos are 22 (cursory examination suggests the distribution is not terribly skewed), average comment threads 1.6 (although some of these also have comments on the LJ versions so that’s not quite representative). I’m clearly not in this for the popularity, kids (though for the record comments literally make my day especially since they’re rare).

Today’s date, so you can see how your results might change if you do this again in a year.
