That seems pretty average. I have 22,683 hits but only 2,413 kudos all together on ao3, which is like 10% total. Some of my fics are definitely carrying more of their kudos weight than others. I feel like the percentage difference between hits and kudos is a really misleading way to look at your fics, because it's rarely ever going to be high percentage.

Instead I go in the tag of the pairing I'm writing for and look to see what similar fics written around the same time have in kudos. I don't do it often, but a few times that I've felt like my rare pair fics have bombed it's really helped.

Though, of course, some fics really do just bomb and that can suck.

At least when our fics bombs they don't cost a major filming corporation millions. ;)
