Writing Meme
Mar. 18th, 2019 04:57 pmSeems like everyone is doing this meme so I thought I might as well chime in.
I have 39 works on AO3.
What’re your first and second most common work ratings?
Explicit (21)
Mature (12)
No surprises there. Most of what I write has sex in it, and where it doesn't, it's still usually mature in theme.
What’s your most common archive warning?
No Archive Warnings Apply (27). Except this isn't an actual archive warning, but the absence of one. If you want to know what actual archive warning, it's Rape/Non-Con (9)
Least common?
Major Character Death (1).
Do you consider yourself an adventurous writer?
Yes. I run the gamut from darkfic to crack, and I've written angst, fluff, humor, kink, the works. I also write a lot of nonlinear fics. The only thing I haven't done that I think would be cool would be like, write a fic that runs in reverse chronological order or which is multi-media or something.
How many stories have you made in each pairing category?
Is this more accidental, or do you have preferences?
I wrote het and femslash pretty much exclusively when I was writing original work, because I was writing based on my own sexual experience and that's my experience. But when I got into fandom, I quickly realized that slash was more popular and I started reading slash and then I started writing it because it's what my friends are doing. It is somewhat surprising to me that I have written so little femslash. Some of that is buried in the "multi" fics.
What are your top 4 fandoms by numbers?
I mean unfortunately the BSG and Crimson Peak fandoms are pretty much dead. Otherwise I would participate in those fandoms more. I'm still very much in Sherlock and peripherally into Killing Eve. I may write more KE once the new season comes out. I've read HDM but I was never into the fandom. That fic was a remix I wrote for a challenge. And it's basically just Sherlock with daemons, I didn't borrow any of the other aspects of that universe.
What are your top 4 relationship tags?
Does this match how you feel about the characters, or are you puzzled?
I think the Johnlock number is kind of deceptive. I'm not especially fond of the ship. One of those is a podfic I did of someone else's work, and the Johnlock was a background pairing, so I don't really count that one, and two of those are co-written fics where my co-writer wrote the Johnlock scenes. I consider myself more of a rare-pair writer.
What are your top 2 most used additional tags, and your bottom 2?
Top Two:
Angst (13)
Drug Use (5)
Sibling Incest (5)
Umm... That would be a dark fic, for sure.
How many WIPs do you have currently running on AO3? Any you don’t plan on finishing?
Ugh, this is embarrassing: 5
My oldest WIP is A Study in Cylons, which was last updated in 2016. Realistically, I am probably not going to finish it. I was writing it for Fall TV Season Sherlock and like no one was reading it and I was getting no feedback and I also wasn't sure where to take it and yeah, crashed and burned.
Sheriarty 30 Day Challenge. Last updated January 2018. I may pick it up again if there's another Sheriarty Challenge or OTP challenge of some kind. I don't feel bad about this one because it's a series of vignettes that stand alone so it's not like it ended on a cliffhanger or anything.
Toplock Talent Search last updated April 2018. I really want to finish this one, but it got so weird? Last I left off, I was writing self-insert fic with me/Mycroft.
Dance ‘Till You’re Dead. I am contractually obligated to finish this one because I'm writing it for Fandom Trumps Hate for Lacuna. And I have the amazingly talented Tiltedsyllogism for a beta. So, it will happen, I've just been super super stuck with it and had depression and real life going on.

What are your top 4 fandoms by numbers?
Conflating all the Sherlock Holmes-related fandoms to one:
Sherlock (TV) (37)
Sherlock (TV) (37)
Battlestar Galactica (2)
His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman (1)
Crimson Peak (2015) (1)
Killing Eve (TV 2018) (1)
So technically, the BSG and HDM fics are fusions. They are really Sherlock fics. The only non-Sherlock fics I've written are the Crimson Peak and Killing Eve ones.
Are you still active in any of them, and do you tend to migrate a lot?Crimson Peak (2015) (1)
Killing Eve (TV 2018) (1)

Through Your Victory I Shall Win The Light. The rough drafts of all chapters have been written and Theirwholebohemiansoul and I are posting them as they are edited. So far, we've been sticking to a schedule and updating every Sunday.
Thanks everyone for paying attention to my navel gazing!
