The AO3 meme

Feb 19, 2021 17:43

We are all in a navel-gazing mood, and here is mine.

These questions are about stories you've posted to AO3.

1) How many stories have you posted?

198

2) In what categories?

M/M 143
Gen 48
F/M 11
F/F 1
Multi 1

3) What ratings?

Teen And Up Audiences (98)
General Audiences (44)
Mature (32)
Explicit (23)
Not Rated (1)

4) How many fandoms?

22, assuming I've counted correctly

5) How many fandoms where you've written more than 10 stories?

2, although Pros has 9.

6) Any fandoms where you were the first to post a story for it?

The evidence is departed because other folks have since backdated, but I think I was the first Callan story on AO3

7) Any fandoms where your story is still the only one posted for it?

I don't have any fandoms of one, although several are boutique sized, shall we say.

8) How many fandoms that are still Yuletide sized?

That's less than 1,000 works, right? Sapphire and Steel I think, although I don't know what's on FF.net. Elfquest, it looks like. Darklight and Demon Under Glass I didn't even have to check. Invisible Man 2000, Callan.

9) How many fandoms where there are still less than 5000 stories posted for it at AO3?

A good chunk of them. Pros and Blakes 7 are hovering around the 3,000 mark.

10) How many megafandoms (over 50,000 stories posted for the fandom at AO3)?

I have one little ficlet for BBC Sherlock.

11) How many AUs have you written where the settings, occupations, etc are completely changed?

There are my Sentinel series The Children of Cascade (four stories), and Regency Sentinel (also four), which are SF and well, Regency. Hell of a Town is four stories of urban fantasy. A Tale of Fortuna is knightly fantasy. Chrysalis is another SF story. Strewn Towards a Heaven is 19th century again So that's 15, not including stories that will fit under later questions here.

12) How many canon-divergent and/or canon distorting trope (like soul marks, body swap)+canon AUs have you written?

One soul mark story under my belt, at least six serious canon divergences. Also, where do I include my five vampire stories in this list? Are they AU or serious canon divergence? I don't know. I defy categorisation! I defy something anyway.

13) How many stories have you written that would require an AO3 content warning or a CNTW?

Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings (98)
Graphic Depictions Of Violence (7)
Major Character Death (5)
Rape/Non-Con (5)

That's a lot of CNTW, but sometimes I just get le tired of explaining stuff, or of trying to think of the appropriate tag.

14) How many words in the shortest story you've posted?

100. I like drabbles

15) How many words in the longest story you've posted?

72k for a singleton. My Regency Sentinel stories add up to 150k over four stories.

16) How many crossover stories have you written?

10

17) How many fusion stories have you written?

Two, I think. A TS and Firefly fusion, and a TS and C J Cherryh novel fusion.

18) How many RPF stories have you written?

RPF isn't my thing.

19) How many WIPs and/or series do you have posted?

8 series, but while I always reserve the right to add stuff,, they stand as is.

20) Do you have any fanfic that's completed but not posted to AO3?

Nope. If it's done it's posted, unless it's for a specific purpose like a Bang or an exchange, and I don't do a lot of those. I think there are still one or two ficlets on LJ that haven't been transferred but that's about it. This entry was originally posted at https://mab-browne.dreamwidth.org/413424.html.
