Go to your AO3 works page, expand all the filters, and answer the following questions.
Total fics?
83, but 8 of those are ficlet collections, so it's really 75 fics and a whole lot more than 8 ficlets.
What're your first and second most common work ratings?
General Audiences (29)
Explicit (28)
Time to write more porn I guess! Luckily, it's Smut Swap season. ;D
What's your most common archive warning?
No Archive Warnings Apply (75)
Excluding that, because it's boring:
Choose Not To Warn (5)
Which is not terribly informative, so I'll note that I use CNTW when I think I've entered dubiously consensual territory. Of the actual mandatory archive warnings (Underage, Non-Con, Major Character Death), the only one that pops up is:
Underage (3)
That's what writing pre-canon Rhodey/Tony will do!
Do you consider yourself an adventurous writer?
I. . . have no idea? That does not feel like an appropriate adjective to describe the activity of writing. So I guess no?
How many fics have you written or podficced in each pairing category?
F/F - 29
F/M - 25
M/M - 25
Gen - 20
Multi - 14
Other - 1
Is that accidental, or does it reflect your preferences?
Every time I check this, I'm surprised at how much het I've written. I think of my fandom preferences as being strongly femslash & slash oriented, but my writing clearly does not reflect this. I suppose it's because it's extremely rare for me to be really into a canon without at least one female character that I adore, and it's just plain hard to find canons that have no male characters, some of which I will invariably enjoy, so as an inveterate multi-shipper I end up writing more het than I expect to!
What are your top 4 fandoms by numbers?
Not counting the MCU sub-fandoms, the list is:
Marvel Cinematic Universe (32)
Elementary (16)
Warehouse 13 (7)
Person of Interest (5)
What are your top 4 relationship tags?
James "Rhodey" Rhodes/Tony Stark (11)
Pepper Potts/Tony Stark (7)
Myka Bering/Helena "H.G." Wells (4)
Pepper Potts/James "Rhodey" Rhodes/Tony Stark (4)
Does this match how you feel about the characters, or are you puzzled?
WHERE IS JOAN WATSON.
So I'm adding a question!
What are your top 4 character tags?
Tony Stark (23)
James "Rhodey" Rhodes (16)
Pepper Potts (14)
Joan Watson (12)
There she is! Going into works tagged for her, apparently the problem is I ship her with everybody? So no one relationship for her makes my top four. (Her most common ship of mine is Marcus Bell/Joan Watson, which is just outside the top 4 ships at (3) fics tagged.)
What are your top 2 most used additional tags, and your bottom 2?
I'm confused by this question? Because I can't figure out how to get my true bottom 2 additional tags, only the bottom 2 out of my top 10. (I'm sure the true bottom 2 would be a multi-way tie between all the tags I've used exactly once, which I am not going to try and figure out.) So have my 1st-most-used, 2nd-most-used, 9th-most-used, and 10th-most-used tags:
POV Character of Color (15)
Plot What Plot/Porn Without Plot (12)
Alternate Universe (5)
BDSM (5)
What would happen if you combined all 4 of these into a fic?
I would get a D/s AU PWP from probably Rhodey or Joan's perspective. Which. . . I actually do not like D/s AUs? There are things I can enjoy about A/B/O universes, but somehow D/s AUs get all the gender essentialism that I dislike and non of the weirdo biology worldbuilding that I do like about A/B/O, so I've never found one that worked for me, and I have no idea how I would approach writing one that worked for me. I'd have to subvert it, obviously, maybe by doing something ridiculous like having your orientation assigned by coin flip and then building a world where it was nonetheless treated as an immutable fact about your identity. But to then justify tagging it a PWP I guess I'd have to establish all that in a couple paragraphs and then make the fic just two people deliberately having sex as their opposite orientation because it's forbidden? But I wouldn't want them to have super-good sex because it turns out they truly belong to their opposite orientation, because that would still end up in a weird gender essentialist place, so I'd probably end up writing bad sex that they end up laughing at followed by improving sex as they discover that being Dominant/submissive is a bit of a learned skill? I don't know. I suspect there would be an audience of exactly zero for the fic I would write.
How many WIPs do you have currently running on AO3? Any you don’t plan on finishing?
The filter finds 9, but as previously established 8 of them are my ficlet collections (which I would only mark complete if I had decided definitively never to write in that fandom again), so really it's only 1. Which I have no intention of finishing, because it's part of my Just As They Wished It To be 'verse which I've abandoned for reasons mentioned in this post.
