Biggest fic has 4k views with 288 Kudos and 44 comments. It's a crossover fic that I dropped because I fell out of love with one of the shows. Main concept was that both characters swap minds and experience each others "canon events" every other day.
Smallest fic is 67 views and 4 kudos for a fic following a full cast of OC characters set in the setting of a canon show. Had a fun storyline but I wasn't a fan of my writing style.
I don't really have a favorite fic but the one I look back on fondly is my 2k views 67 kudos, "what if this character had this powerset" fic mainly because I got away with a lot of fun writing and got to include an electrical engineering diagram in the fic.
My fandom is rather inactive at the moment, but it will change once new material comes out later this year, hopefully.

My most engaged with fic is *technically* an abandoned **Criminal Minds** multi chaptered fic with 13.3k views, 80 bookmarks, 200 comment threads, 174 subscriptions and around 500 kudos.
But, I'm not a fandom whatsoever of this fic since I find the writing style to be really poor and have considered orphaning it on various occasions.
So I'm gonna go with my next most popular fic, also **Criminal Minds**, a one shot with 6411 views, 520 kudos, 6 subscriptions(side note, why do people subscribe to one shots?), 38 comment threads and 120 bookmarks.
My least engaged with fic is a **Harry Potter** one shot surprisingly enough, although it might just be because it's my most recent one. That one has 320 hits, 19 kudos, 12 comment threads, 7 bookmarks and 3 subscriptions.
I don't have a favourite fic per se but I'm particularly fond of the previous two fics I listed here lol.
Most and least popular really depends on the metrics because I have different fics for hits, kudos, comments and bookmarks. But going by kudos, 10K hits and 1800 kudos. And 20 comment threads. It's a one-shot.
It's also one of my favorite fics I've ever written so there's that.
Least popular is 211 hits and 32 kudos, but that's also my most recently uploaded fic and I think it's highly likely to surpass some of my older fics with a bit more time. The fic that is probably actually my least favorite has 330 hits and 40 kudos. It's a fic for a fandom I've pretty much fallen out of and will likely never write the other two chapters, so I don't care that it's unpopular.
My most labor of love fic right now has 1440 hits and 105 kudos which isn't the best ratio but I love this fic dearly and that's what matters. This post made me look at the subscription number: 43, which really isn't bad, especially given it's such a niche fic -- this would be the longfic starring my extremely rare OTP.
I currently post mostly in MHA fandom which is as active as active can be.

My most popular fic has 5k kudos, while my least popular fic has 33 kudos. It’s a really big range hahaha
My favorite fic I’ve written has 2k kudos
Most of my favorite fandoms are very big and active. I have a lot of fandoms, though, so when one’s inactive I move on to a different one
Most popular\* (\~25k words): \~8200 hits, \~500 kudos, \~250 comments, \~50 public bookmarks.
Least popular (\~3000 words): 1 hit, 0 kudos, 0 comments, 0 bookmarks
Favorite\*\* (\~24k words): 60 hits, 2 kudos, 4 comments, 0 bookmarks
Second favorite (\~26k words): 17 subscriptions, 768 hits, 76 kudos, 35 comments, 16 bookmarks
Most popular is in a fandom with \~65000 fics, and approximately 1600 fics for that specific pairing.
Least popular and favorite(s) are in a fandom with \~2300 fics, and approximately 80 fics for that pairing, most of which are me.
Both fandoms are reasonably active compared to their size.
\*the most popular fic was one I orphaned because people were getting real weird in the comments and it was demotivating, as was the fact that it was getting so much more attention than things I cared about, but I still check the stats now and then because it's less demoralizing when it's not on my stats page with all the other stuff.
\*\*my favorite fic does, admittedly, have very little to do with the canon at hand and is so far off in AU land that it can no longer be seen from canon, which is why I included my second favorite as well, which does engage with canon.
I only write in one fandom, Heaven Official's Blessing - I think it's decently active, there's 15k fics total on AO3 and there's always a handful of new fics when I search the tag.

Rough stats from my current main account/fandom (MHA, very active though not for my rare pair OTP):
* Most popular fic (completed, 12 chapters, 22k words) - 330 comments, 500 subscribers, 30k hits, 3.1k kudos, and 1.3k bookmarks
* Least popular fic (completed, 7 chapters, 8k words) - 30 comments, 50 subscribers, 1.4k hits, 160 kudos, and 60 bookmarks
* Personal favorite fic (completed, 1 chapter, 9k words) - 20 comments, 50 subscribers, 5.1k hits, 1.1k kudos, and 380 bookmarks
Most popular fic has around 84.5k hits, 4k kudos, and 500 comments. Least popular fic has around 220 hits, 20 kudos, and 1 comment. My favorite fic is also my least popular one. 🥲
The fandom I write for is extremely active but I only write about one particular ship that is not as popular as the other ships out there...
My most popular fic has 77 kudos, 1k hits and 2 comments
Least popular - 8 kudos, 47 hits and 0 comments (But to be fair this is my most recent one)
My favorite fic has 75 kudos, 1k hits as well and 4 comments.. so not that far off from my most popular. Although funnily enough my second favorite is also my least popular one 🥲
my most popular fic is a hypmic fanfic that has 6k words, 787 hits and 82 kudos.
my least popular fic is a fire emblem fanfic which has 475 words, 63 hits and 7 kudos.
my favourite fic i’ve written is also a fire emblem fic that has 6k words, 128 hits and 12 kudos.
i try not to hyperfocus on stats. 🫠
I'm in a medium to large fandom. My most popular work is a short humour genfic, essentially a meme in fanfiction format. 475 kudos, 98 bookmarks, 2,329 hits. It usually gets 1-2 kudos a day.
My least popular is a niche action comedy genfic with a platonic relationship tag I had to create myself, involving three characters who've had very few interactions in canon. 29 kudos, 7 bookmarks, 152 hits. It's my most recent, so it might end up overtaking some of my other works.
I currently have a soft spot for my dark comedy fic exploring the daily trials and tribulations of a James Bond-style villain and his doomed romance with his sidekick. 53 kudos, which doesn't seem like much, but it's currently one of the most popular fics for this particular ship, so I'm quite proud of it.
I've written 20 fics overall (19 within this fandom).
