I've been eyeing the "rating" ranking on Changeling Space Program recently.
This morning it was the 13th most popular fic on FimFiction... going by a ratio of up-votes to down-votes.
I'll repeat that: #13 on the list of most popular fics.
The thing is, it was also the only one in the top fifty or so with a three-digit up-vote count. It was that high because only three people had ever down-voted it.
