I've been seeing this around and decided I'll give it a shot. No links because I'm lazy - here's my A03 profile. XD

Top Five by Hits

1. Feels Like Belonging - 117,983 (Teen Wolf, Derek/Stiles)
2. What It Takes - 39,140 (Teen Wolf, Peter/Stiles, Derek/Stiles, Peter/Stiles/Derek, ABANDONED)
3. Making Amends - 34,517 (Teen Wolf, Derek/Stiles)
4. Learning Each Other - 10,873 (Homestuck, John/Karkat)
5. A Need As Great - 10,368 (Star Trek, Spock/Bones)

....it's kind of a bummer because I'm not in Teen Wolf fandom anymore and if I were, I'd be all over Scott/Stiles. On the other hand, Feels Like Belonging is so tropey and full of things fandom used to dig (pack mom Stiles!) that I'm not surprised it's so much ahead of everything else, haha.

Top Five by Kudos

1. Feels Like Belonging - 7,059

Yay, finally my actual Teen Wolf OTP showed up. XD

I'm disappointed more of my Star Wars and MCU stuff didn't show up, but to be fair that stuff is infinitely more popular on tumblr, while my Teen Wolf stuff was more ignored. Also, of course, no Yuri on Ice because that's mostly been fanart. I don't know. I'm pretty bitter towards Teen Wolf fandom so this just makes me want to delete all of my work for that fandom haha even though of course I'm not going to do that.

What this really means is that I've just got to write more stuff. XD

This was fun! I posted my own, too, although I'm nowhere near as popular as you are by the looks of things. That's a lot of Sterek; I might go have a look at some point. :)

[nanslice]

Haha, go for it! I definitely recommend avoiding What It Takes since it's abandoned but Feels Like Belonging is super floofy and cute. XD

[adelate]

Oh yeah, I tend to avoid reading WIPs anyway, much less if I know they're abandoned. But I love super floofy and cute stuff! So thank you for the rec. :)

Pack mom Stiles! was a good trope. I'm glad I got out of Teen Wolf when I did though.

It's a different world outside the big fandom ships, that's for sure. Not only writing but also reading fic. When I first got into Attack on Titan I was convinced I was going to be a big Eren/Levi shipper, had seen the huge amounts of fic for them and was all excited about the potential reading material. And then nope, instead I'm all about Eren/Jean or Jean/Armin or Armin/Eren/Jean and don't care at all about Eren/Levi, which knocks out like 85% of the fic that gets posted. Not that there aren't great fics for the rare pairs too, but I want more!

It was fun! I don't regret my time in that fandom but dang, I also have no urge to go back (well sometimes I want to draw a little fanart but my fic writing is pretty done).

YEESSSSSS. I'm typically a fan of the big name ships (Yuri/Victor, Stucky, Sherlock/John) so when I find myself shipping a less popular ship I'm just at a loss, haha. It's funny that you mention Attack on Titan because I'm about to start watching that. I figured now that the second season is finally airing, I can get around to watching the first one. :D

Ooh, this looks fun! I may have to do this myself.

And DANG, those numbers. I know megafandoms are sort of a different land that way, but... still color me impressed. That's a whole lotta bookmarks!

[nanslice]

It's interesting to see what's more popular vs what you like best. None of my faves are on here, haha.

Ha, thanks. XD I told someone elsewhere that it's mostly writing popular tropes in popular fandoms with popular ships.

<33 Scott/Stiles! I was never really in the fandom (too awful) but S1 and S2 were so fun to watch. :3

MY COUSIN MIGUEL. I still laugh at that.

[nanslice]

Yessssss. Teen Wolf really fell apart but the first two seasons were so great. ♥
