Two Memes for the Price of One

[scribblemyname]

Gacked from melannen (on DW):

If you want to see me do one of these, leave a number in a comment and I'll answer!

1: Go to your oldest work online and find the most cringe-inducing section.
2: What's the most embarrassing porn you've ever written?
3: Most embarrassing drawerfic.
4: Laziest ending.
5: Worst beginning.
6: Send me one of my own fics to flame.
7: Rank your top five worst fics.
8: How do you disagree with your AO3 stats page?
9: Send me one of my own fics and I'll write the worst comment imaginable for it.
10: Write a parody of your own style.


And for a nicer meme, gacked from xenokattz ages and ages ago and just felt like unearthing it:

If I made Cinderella, the audience would immediately be looking for a body in the coach.
— Alfred Hitchcock

When I write a story, what do you immediately look for?

Well, my top stats were fairly stable and suddenly they aren't and I have no idea why, but as I peek through, I definitely think the stuff getting the most visibility isn't doing so for any reason I can define. It's not the best stuff, but it's what gets seen. The stuff that gets the quality comments and is higher quality and has more aggregate engaged feedback rarely jumps very high. I definitely have that gripe.

That a drabble about Darcy and Clint rescuing a kitten together is at the top of my stats makes no sense to me. It's short, has no more series and collections than a lot of my better and/or longer commentfic, and it's not even that special of a title/summary. :shrugs:

I don't even know.

Will we ever figure out how fandom works and why the shit that gets read does get read? Probably not. Sigh.
