I think a lot of it comes from the author's own popularity and following, rather than the actual quality of the fics.

One person in one of my old fandoms had managed to self-appoint herself as the spokesperson for the fandom, would be the first to repost information from official sources etc. (sometimes complete erroneously, but no one seemed to mind because she seemed So Damn Important) and when she started writing fics people automatically gravitated towards them just because they associate her with having some kind of increased validity when it comes to canon. Never mind that she's often wrong, and never mind that the fics are terrible, it's the platform she created for herself that's carrying her popularity.

I think you're right, and that that's definitely the case a decent amount of the time.

I have seen cases, however, where the badfic of a person who's otherwise mostly silent in fandom has taken off, and that absolutely baffles me.
