This meme was knocking around a couple of months ago, but I thought I'd have a go.
List your most kudoed fic per year:
2011: John's Jumper
BBC Sherlock, Sherlock/John, not my usual pairing but written for a friend
2012: Who You Gonna Call
BBC Sherlock, John/Greg, which was my favourite pairing. My second most popular fic.
2013: Five Times Someone Was Admitted to Hospital and Once When They Were Happy About It
BBC Sherlock, Sherlock/Greg. This is the second fic in the 'Unexpected Family' series in which Sherlock and Greg adopt two young children.
2014: Broken Dreams
BBC Sherlock, Sherlock/Greg. Angst with a twist, and one I'm still very pleased with. My fifth most popular fic.
2015: Five Times Thorin made Bilbo swear under his breath and once when he swore loudly
The Hobbit, Thorin/Bilbo. One of my first Hobbit fics. Written for Not Prime Time (I doubt the Hobbit qualifies now). My third most popular fic.
2016: Now or Never
The Hobbit, Thorin/Bilbo. I'm still very pleased with the last line.
2017: A Handful of Beads
The Hobbit, Thorin/Bilbo. My overall most popular fic. No, it's not the one I would have chosen.
2018: Gandalf's Small Mistake
The Hobbit, Thorin/Bilbo, Gandalf, Thorin's Company. My fourth most popular fic. I am delighted with the popularity of Rabbit AU.
2019: The Bed
Harry Potter, Severus/Harry. There is time for it to be overtaken.
