AO3 Meme? I think?

eldabeSo I've seen this meme go around and while ever single person I've seen has done it differently, and not all my fic is even on AO3*, I check my stats like everyone else, so I figured I'd join the bandwagon my own way!
1. Some Things Never Change. Some Do. (Torchwood) with 292 hits! I'm going to assume it's the summary implying heavy Ianto/Jack, because this is a Miracle Day influenced fic!
2. Don't Tell Me Not to Fly (DC Comics, Lian Harper) with actually really happily surprising 254 hits!
3. Privately Owned (Torchwood) kicking off my COE-influenced fic with 178 hits!
3. It's About Torchwood. And a Baby (Torchwood, duh.) my other sappy Jack/Ianto fic also with 178 hits!
5. Sometimes Jack Does Things By the Book (Torchwood) with 172 hits and I have no idea why! Mostly Naked Jack is my only theory, but it's for cultural explanation, not sex!
6. Notable Figures (Torchwood) is Rhiannon's first appearance with 167 hits!
7. I Can Hear Them (Star Trek XI) is my not-at-all-kinky response to a kink meme prompt with 162 hits!
8. License! (DC Comics, Batman) is my only fic with Dick being adorable and bouncy with Bruce and Alfred and has 152 hits!
9. Something Like Closure (Torchwood) rounds out my COE fic with 140 hits!
9. Evening (Torchwood) is another prompted Jack/Ianto fic with another 140 hits!
Some of these barely got past 100 words, although Some Things Never Change was over 2,000 and Don't Tell Me Not to Fly was over 20,000. (A Big Bang, obviously.) Length seems to be something of a factor, but not a huge one.
Also, apparently my tastes and the AO3 readers disagree, because the fics closest to my heart are Nothing Wrong (60 hits) and In Fits and Stutters (48 hits). And I have a special fondness for Standard Post-Invasion Traffic Warnings Apply but no one else likes my clever titles because that only has 56 hits.
And Only My Dreams Will Wander These Desolate Moors comes in last with only 16 hits! I'm going to go to a corner and hug Tosh fiercely. I need to find a place to post that where she'll get some more love. (Also proving that posting date only has a tangential relation to hits. My latest drabble When Jack Remembers the Future has 50 hits and it's been up for a week less than Only My Dreams.)
(I am willing to concede that my inability to write summaries and titles could have a great deal to do with this. I should really do something about that, or I should probably stop viewing summaries as actual summations of the story and more as the advertising that they are.)

*I don't link to my AO3 fics from LJ, so I figure people are either tripping over them on AO3 or reading them there for the easiness/ability to download. All of my Torchwod fics (sans one that is probably buried in my LJ somewhere) are up there, as well as my ST XI stuff, DC Comics and my single Animorphs fic. One HP fics is there, but all of the rest of my stuff (HP, LotR, Outsiders) has yet to be added.
