Rules: Go to your works page, expand all the filters, and answer the following questions!
Note: I excluded podfics from my works because they skew the data severely.
1. What's your first and second most common work ratings? Any surprises?
Most common: General Audiences
Second most common: Explicit
Not really surprised. While I tend to go for higher ratings when reading, I do have a bunch of older fics (and more recent ones) that never made it above G.
2. What's your most common archive warning? Least common? Do you consider yourself an adventurous writer?
Most common: No Archive Warnings Apply.
Least common: Creator chose not to use archive warnings
I wouldn't call myself adventurous. I enjoy specific tropes and genres, and one way or another, my stories reflect that. Having said that, I do like to make things difficult for myself by writing a lot of fusions recently, which - while fun - also provide the challenge of having two merge two existing franchises to the point where neither loses its integrity. I'm not sure I managed, but I'm certainly trying.
3. How many fics have you written in each relationship category? Is this more accidental, or do you have preferences?
M/M: 21
Gen: 3
Multi: 1
It's definitely a preference.
4. What are your top 4 fandoms by numbers? Are you still active in any of them, and do you tend to migrate a lot?
Merlin (TV): 8, still active.
Sherlock (TV): 7, no longer active except for how hard I'm trying to forget about that time. Although I am proud of the Big Bang I wrote for that fandom, even if I no longer participate in it.
Leverage: 6, no longer active, but I kind of wish I were
Supernatural (RPF): 2, no longer active and no desire to go back
If I'd put up my bad teenage fics from Harry Potter fandom, it would rank 3rd, I believe, maybe even second. That's a fandom I intend to come back to one day, not just for reading. I don't migrate a lot. I'm usually a one fandom kind of person when writing, but I've got a bunch of ideas in different fandoms these days, so we'll see what happens.
5. What are your top 4 character tags? Does this match how you feel about the characters, or are you puzzled?
Lancelot (Merlin) (4)
John Watson (4)
Original Male Character(s) (3)
Percival (Merlin) (3)
This data is skewed because I never tag for the characters of the main ship. Or maybe I did when I was still writing Sherlock because I don't see how else John got in there. I believe I only ever wrote 2 John centric gen fics ... I'm kind of surprised by the Original Male Characters. Also surprised about Lancelot because I've got a difficult relationship with that character (which shows in my stories ...)
6. What are your top 2 most used additional tags, and your bottom 2? What would happen if you combined all 4 of these into a fic?
Most used: Friendship ; Alternate Universe - Modern Setting
Least used: Romance ; Movie - Legally Blonde (2001)
The result would be called Common Law :).
7. How many WIPs do you have currently running on AO3? Any you don't plan on finishing?
I never post WiPs. I'm working on one story (ACBB), I've started and discontinued a bunch of fics that I've got saved on my hard drive (2 Harry Potter, a few Narnia), and I've got a list with 2 dozen ideas for new stories that might see the light of day some day.
