AO3 filters meme, borrowed from skieswideopen

Trying to post a little more regularly here, since it's [community profile] voiceteam this month, and in July it'll be [community profile] sunshine_challenge. Also - it's been all over but just in case it hasn't crossed your reading page, [community profile] intoabar signups are live!


1. How many stories have you posted?
402 written ~things (not everything is a story) 43 podficced ~things (again, not everything is actually a story)

2. What categories?
M/M (206)
Gen (174)
Multi (36)
F/M (16)
F/F (9)
Other (4)

(This is a higher number of Gen than I would have expected, tbh. Stunned that there's more het than F/F. Will have to work on that.)

3. What ratings?
General Audiences (208)
Teen And Up Audiences (108)
Explicit (63)
Mature (23)

(No surprises here, except that 23 times I honestly thought, Mature, yes, not explicit. ????? REALLY?)

4. How many fandoms?
64

5. How many fandoms where you've written more than 10 stories? 7 technically, 6 in reality

Supernatural (157)
Stargate Atlantis (139)
The Losers (2010) (47)
Alexander (2004) (31)
陈情令 | The Untamed (TV) (14)
Leverage (13)
魔道祖师 - 墨香铜臭 | Módào Zǔshī - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù (11)

(The MDZS stories are all tagged with The Untamed, so that one doesn't really count.)

6. Any fandoms where you were the first to post a story for it?
Yup! Priest (2011), Alexander (2004) RPF, and Murder By Numbers RPF

7. Any fandoms where your story is still the only one posted for it?
Yup, that Murder By Numbers fic (+ its podfic) is the only one in that tag.

8. How many fandoms that are still Yuletide sized?
20

(Because I haven't done Yuletide in a while, I am basing this on the thing my brain came up with (<500 stories) as a guideline. I think at some point, that was the requirement. I have zero clue what it is now.)

9. How many fandoms where there are still fewer than 5,000 stories posted for it at AO3?
38

10. How many megafandoms (over 50,000 stories at AO3)?
Supernatural, various iterations of MCU (these are podfics and super-shorts), and various roll-up tags (Actor RPF, All Stargate series, etc.). Supernatural was really my only megafandom.

11. How many AUs have you written where the settings, occupations etc are completely changed?
Wow, I mean. I'm not gonna go through and look at all 445 things, so I just filtered on the AU tag, and got 58. That seems low, but I did write a lot of canon stuff in my biggest fandoms, so.

12. How many canon-divergent and/or canon distorting tropes (like soul marks, bodyswap) + canon AUs have you written?
Uh. This was written for people with lower work counts than me. I'm sure some of the ones above belong here.

13. How many stories have you written that would require an AO3 content warning or a CNTW?
Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings (26)
Graphic Depictions Of Violence (15)
Major Character Death (10)
Underage (7)
Rape/Non-Con (5)

14. How many words in the shortest story you've posted?
I have several one-sentence fics that are posted in a single post so probably, like, 10? But mostly my shorts are drabbles (100 words).

15. How many words in the longest story you've posted?
127,577 - We Three Kings in the Supernatural fandom.

16. How many crossover stories have you written?
Filtering by the tag gets me 17 but I don't buy that for a second. What this meme is teaching me is that I am not thorough enough in my tags.

17. How many fusion stories have you written?
Some? Shit, I have zero clue and I am 100% certain I would not have tagged that.

18. How many RPF stories have you written?
I searched for "RPF" and got 31. Seems about right.

19. How many WIPs and/or series have you posted?
I have 36 works in my Unfinished and discontinued fic series.
I have 25 other series which are all various levels of complete.

20. Do you have any fanfic that is completed but not posted to AO3?
Not that I know of, currently. It's possible I have a few things hanging out in random places on LJ or Dreamwidth, but I think I caught most of them and moved them to the AO3. I have 5-10 current works in progress, which I generally have a 75% complete rate on.

Hrm, that was a little dissatisfying. I'll think on that. Maybe I need to change it up a bit.
