I don't know what it is about this show that had me so inspired, but I'm pretty sure it's over now so I can be less obsessed over it lolz who am I kidding I will always be obsessed

The Top 5s meme will be back soon, I just got stuck on one day and maybe once I sit down and really think about the answers, I'll get unstuck.

But I realized the other day I never did cross-post a little ficlet I wrote for gladdecease's birthday a week ago, so shall rectify that now. (It's quite popular on A03, well, popular for me which is mind-boggling because it is literally only dialogue, but Clyde's a popular dude/tortoise, apparently. Also, I don't want to promise anything, but I'd love to write more fics about Clyde because he's awesome and I love him and I just wish I was better at developing ideas and following through on them.)

Omg, this thing is finally posted! I'd been working on it since I signed up for cottoncandy_bingo in August. It's a short piece, but I had no idea where I was going with it so 'm glad that it finally took a cohesive shape even if nothing much happens, but is more of a slice-of-life piece.

Meme hosted by the Broke and the Bookish

so this meme asked for the top ten sites that aren't about *books* - comics aren't books though so I'm not really cheating. Right? I don't know. I do my own thing.

1. Tumblr: I feel like tumblr is the amalgamation of EVERY SITE ever on the Internet (and this list). But with more graphics and less annoying changes. I am on there way more than I need to be.
2. iFanboy: where I go for the majority of comics news; they also have nifty top 5 lists too and I can't resist lists (example: Top 5 Deaths of Jonathan Kent).
3. Archive of Our Own: this is the fan fiction site I left Fanfiction.net for (god FF.Net totally irritated me there for a few years with all of their changes and having to post anything new was such a hassle)
4. Comixology: so getting into comics is a bit daunting, getting into digital comics is EVEN more daunting, but I think sites like these facilitate that exchange.
5. Marvel: besides just being a great online encyclopedia of Marvel characters, the blog posts are worth a read as well.
6. DCComics: I really like their Preview Mondays and they've started doing creator profiles that are awesome - full list of creator portraits.
7. Comic Book Resources: while I get most of my comics news from iFanboy a lot of the time, the reason I really like CBR is they have previews of awesome comics that are due out that Wednesday or whatnot (um, I should say I am not all that enamored of its forums and stay away from them - and pretty much anything else with a lot of comments - but they do have awesome reviews and columns and blog posts like 'The Ten Cruelest Things Joss Whedon Has Done To His Characters').
8. Wil Wheaton's blog: so in my obsession-that-came-out-of-nowhere-and-punched-me-in-the-face phase of watching Eureka and seeing Wil Wheaton as the ass-holey Dr. Parrish (...I hope he won't always be cast in tv shows as the jerk character, I really, really hope), I somehow became a fan of his and then made my way over to his blog? Who the hell knows how these things happen. This post was especially awesome. (He also has some posts talking about the comics he's into at the moment which are relevant to me.)
9. Aria's Ink: the truly awesomest Sailor Moon site that's still alive and kicking (you have no idea how many awesome SM sites are long gone). And is SOOO awesome. I am not be as active there as I once was and I kind of feel sad about that, but you sometimes move away from your childhood interests and that's okay.
10. Twitter: gosh, Twitter is like the website that excuses you from talking about yourself nonstop about what you had for lunch; sure it's also practical for following famous people and authors and creators of awesome things, but it's mostly about ourselves, come on, who are we kidding.

DIRECTIONS: List the ten stories on Archive of Our Own.org with the greatest number of hits and if you wish, leave commentary about what you think it means.
BONUS/OPTIONAL QUESTION: What are your top ten favourites of your stories at AO3?

Really, the reason why these stories got as much hits as they did was because they featured hot guys getting it on with other hot guys. Alas, gen and femslash pieces do not get as many hits.
