Well, once you had the data, it would be pretty easy to get average kudos per words per year over the whole archive - if 2009 has average .005 kudos per word and 2012 has average .004 kudos per word, you could make a kudos on a 2009 fic worth 4/5 of a 2012 one for everybody who had fic in those years. I don't think there's any way to get the data on when a particular kudos was left, at least unless you have real deep database access, but using average per year would probably do ok.

There are definitely people who do way better some years than others, though. It depends a lot on what fandoms you write and how you hit the zeitgeist. I got about 60 kudos before reveals last year and about 6 this year and I'm pretty sure this year's fic was better, but I knew this fandom was much less widely appealing.

If I look at direct numbers, last year was massively better than this year, but if I go by kudos:hits ratio, last year I got read roughly twenty-five times for each kudos and this year I got read roughly twice per kudos. Yet I got massively more comments:hits last year than this year. That's why I think there needs to be some kind of weighted combination of hits, kudos and comments as a sort of interaction index. I'd need to be able to try different things against multiple random samples of fics to judge what seems like a good formula. So much easier with an API. :(
