I love these lists, though I don't know when I'll ever find time to read everything that looks good.

This one was especially nice because the story from author Rob Colton nudged my memory that I read a wolf story of his some time back and elsewhere, I think. Thank you.

What criteria do you use to get these lists? If I enter General Fiction, Drama, in set genres and most viewed stories, the list is not the same.

These are views since last deep dive.  What you are looking at in the archive is All Time views.

I set a time for stories published in the last year (May 2023 to May 2024) which gave a different list to All Time, but not your list. It would be informative if perhaps you stated the time period, top stories over the last month for example. Just a suggestion, it's nice to know what stats we are looking at.

I find these deep dives really helpful, especially for the ones that got away, as it were.  I found loads of stuff from before I found GA and hopefully others will find more as well.  Thank you @Myr. 🤗
