Rose I saw a nice comment from someone that said your AJ one shot made them tear up. I see stuff about It Stays With You also. There definitely is a word of mouth for fanfics, twitter is living proof.

There's plenty of romances that have little to no reviews because of how it's written. On that same end, I have a horror/au that has about 600 reviews. Its my highest reviewed story. Julie and I expected Undead to be unpopular because of the genre, and it's not. I'd like to think it's because it's well written and thanks to word of mouth :).

That is why I said there was a multiple reasons. Undead is written by authors that people know write well and it has had word of mouth. I really don't think it has to have all three things to be popular, it's a combination. You can definitely have romances that aren't read because they aren't written well and no one suggests them.

I always see people discussing fanfics on Twitter or other message borads like TDS.
As far as genre, I think that does play a part in things but there are always exceptions to the rule. I remember everyone always talking about Signal to Noise which I believe was a classic suspense story and then of course there was Legend? Is that what it was called? Which was a really popular sci fi story. Between the Lines was an AU that I guess a lot of people have read and talked about. It's weird what people cling on to sometimes. But there are those stories that happen in every genre.
As far as my answer to my question
I believe I am most well known for Why I'd do it all Again and It Stays with You and I guess that's fine with me. I'm proud of both stories and they are completely different from one another. LOL I mean night and day different.

Mare, I knew Mel's Tree from you before anything else even though I've not read it.
mare:
Aww, thats nice to know. :) I would like to be known for that but for the OF not the fanfic version. I guess sometimes I tend to forget it was a fanfic lol
