I think I signed up to read something specific, or something like that, and then didn't use my account for quite a while. I first actually posted a story for Yuletide three years ago.
Total stories: 4
One for each yuletide, plus one original fic I decided to post publicly. I've toyed with the idea of writing fanfic without a specific external motivation but it's rarely happened. I do have a couple of older stories I wrote once, some of which I quite liked, I might try to get on there.

Yup. I do have short ideas too! But when I've done yuletide the ideas have always kept ballooning into a reasonably long story.
ETA: The two middle stories were both Vorkosigan ones, although the shorter one, written first, *felt* like it had more happening. I think I need to learn from that, how to jump ahead to show the important scenes and not just keep writing "characters talking to each other" even though that works so well.
Longest story: Fief of Blood
24,651 words. My tongue-in-cheek vampire story, full of ambiguous morality and cambridge hijinks
This was written as a cut-down novel not a long short story, and ended up reasonably coherent even as I was learning to write at that length as I was writing it. I think it could reasonably be expanded to a novel length, except there's some bits that I think will never work.
Shortest story: Escape from the Orc Lair of Unnecessarily Revealing Armour
2,058 words. Yuletide #2, a crossover between Rat Queens and Oglaf. Content warning: It's a cross between Rat Queens and Oglaf. I wrote this as a script-for-a-comic format. I had plans for where it could go longer, but I was running out of time (I did full NanoWrimo that year) and decided it worked as reasonable story with what I had.
ETA: Oh, that's hilarious. I *love* my stories when I get to do humour. I really need to do more of that. It was also more R-rated than I remembered (there's instructions on how to skip the sex scene if you want).
ETA: And I had lots of other ideas, but I think I was right to stop it there.
That's very short for me. I mean, I've lots of "stories that never got started" that are shorter, but almost no stories that were a whole story :)

Kudos per story: 42
The other two stories were Vorkosigan fics which still get occasional Kudos drifting in now :) Whereas I got almost none for the others.

Mostly, people saying "yay" on the Vorkosigan stories, and Rae excitedly reviewing each chapter of the vampire story :) Although the three comments on the Rat Queens story were all very very effusive :)
Subscriptions: None
None for me :) I guess no-one is excited to find more stuff like this, even the vorkosigan stories.
As other people pointed out, I never posted an unfinished story, so can't reasonably complain about not having story subscriptions :)
I am actually toying with an episodic story at the moment, I'll see if that gets to the point I start posting it (maybe not on ao3).

Each fanfic has 2 each.
Stories with no comments or kudos
Nope! All of my stories were loved by *someone* :)
If I posted my back catalogue, I think there might be some stories that were niche enough people might not find them.
