I have mixed feelings about this.  On the one hand, the top two fics (my "classy" soulmates fic and my Tony-misunderstands-and-accidentally-matchmakes fic respectively) are probably my favorites, so good on them for getting the most kudos.  They were actually neck in neck for while, which was a little sad because Heartlines usually has roughly twice as many hits as Agent and Hawkeye's Epic Romance.  It's still pretty cool though.  Also I'm proud of A Mad Tea Party.  My little baby's almost to a 100.  I will always have a giant soft spot for that fic.

On the other hand, I have plenty of fics that are lucky to get ten kudos, and it's not like they're that much worse.  They're just for tiny fandoms, and the top kudos getting fics are all for much bigger ones.  I know that this isn't some kind of incredible revelation, I'm just saying.

Oh yeah, for sure :)

I know a lot of people have favorites that just never seem to get any love.
