AO3 thingum and Easter

[kassidy62]

I saw it via cathybites - your most popular A03 stories based on the number of hits. Now I don't have bunches of readers, but still I'm really surprised about what came out at #1.

I put an honorable mention on the list because I am VERY FOND OF IT. And anyway it's #11 -
Burning Blue (SPN, Wincest)- a case story and a Sam without a soul story, in which Dean grieves and wants what Sam doesn't have anymore. Sam tries to help anyway.

10. Always Our Protector (Let the Right One In, 2008) - after the train at the end of the movie. 
  9. Fuck and Die (Californication - tv show) - an AU story of Ashby's swan song.
  8. Destiny Never Dies (Only People) (Dante's Cove, hahaha) - picks up at the end of Season 2. What happens to
      to Kevin, what Van and Toby do about it, and how Grace gets involved.
  7. Blood on the Sun (Starsky & Hutch) - kidnapped and desperate.
  6. A Snake, a Blue Blazer and a Girl Once Lost (Dark Blue) - Dean/Jaimie/Ty, set right after the series ends
  5. In the Dying Light (Starsky & Hutch) Starsky goes to New York for a family reunion, and Hutch disappears.
  4. Salt of the Earth (The Long Walk - Stephen King book) - Garraty and McVries, set sometime after Pete
      asked THAT question. You know. (The one where he asks if he can jerk Ray off. In case you didn't.)
  3. Cherry Bomb (SPN, Wincest) Set after Dean's deal and before he goes to hell. AKA: Impala sex.
  2. Wild, Wild Zombieland (Lonesome Dove. I am not kidding) - Gus, Call and zombie cows. Yup.
  1. Diamond Dogs (SPN, little bit of Wincest, little bit of horror) - one is bitten and takes the other down.

Easter: took a walk, dyed eggs, filled baskets, hid eggs. Hid eggs. Ate dinner. Ate candy. Ate cake. It was a lovely day, though you probably can't quite tell it from this:) My children are growing up, and this makes me both happy and sad. They are lovely girls. My mother is growing old, which makes me both happy and sad. Love her bunches. I teased her about her deviled eggs mercilessly (oops, added salt TWICE. Argh).

Oh, kewl! Looks like I hafta go clicky on "Blood on the Sun" a hundred times or so and move that baby up the hit parade ;-D

*runs off to play*

ha, I don't think you have to run up the numbers on that one - it's got the largest number of hits (on my site) of any story I've ever written - something over 3500 now, I think:)

Oh, well, as long as it's being properly appreciated ;-)

hehe, this idea with the stories sounds a fun one, and there's a few I haven't read yet, hm, wonder which one of mine will be #1...*runs off to check*

I was surprised that Diamond Dogs came in first, because I don't recall it getting a lot of response when I first posted it. I don't get a lot of readers at A03, but yeah, this list is still surprising to me. Like, who knew anybody would read Dante's Cove, it's such a small fandom?
So what's your first?

mine is the first of my S&H vampire AU 'Hiding in plain sight'.
I was actually surprised at the whole top ten because some of my faves and what I considered better ones barely got read at all
