AO3 Meme

[tinturtle]

I've never posted a meme before. I got this one from gilda_elise, whose post was linked in the Pros Newsletter.

1) How many stories have you posted?
Three.
(Also 6 vids and a bunch of photo manipulations.)

2) In what categories?
Gen (2)
Uncatagorized (1)
(Some of my vids and manips are slash.)

3) What ratings?
General Audiences (3)
(Some of my vids and manips have the "Teen and Up" rating, the vids for violence and the manips for cuddling in bed.)

4) How many fandoms?
Two: The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and The Professionals

5) How many fandoms where you've written more than 10 stories?
None. I have 11 Professionals posts of all types.

6) Any fandoms where you were the first to post a story for it?
Ha. Not even close.

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

8) How many fandoms that are still Yuletide sized?
None.

9) How many fandoms where there are still less than 5000 stories posted for it at AO3?
The Professionals, despite there being lots and lots of fic in that fandom.

10) How many megafandoms (over 50,000 stories posted for the fandom at AO3)?
None.

11) How many AUs have you written where the settings, occupations, etc are completely changed?
None. I probably won't, either, unless they're about a version of U.N.C.L.E. or CI5 in a sci-fi setting.

12) How many canon-divergent and/or canon distorting trope (like soul marks, body swap)+canon AUs have you written?
None.

13) How many stories have you written that would require an AO3 content warning?
None. I think it will be a long time before I have the confidence to write about any of the subjects that call for a warning.

14) What was the shortest number of words you've written?
217, in my first ever fic.

15) How many words in the longest story you've posted?
1374, in my MFU story What We Are, which is also my favorite of my three fics.

16) How many crossover stories have you written?
None.

17) How many fusion stories have you written?
None. I have some ideas for a fusion between The Professionals and His Dark Materials, featuring the members of CI5 and their dæmons. Cowley's dæmon is a Eurasian magpie named Catriona, and Doyle's is a British stoat possibly named Madeline. I'm still thinking about Bodie. (The choice for Doyle has quite a bit of interesting folklore and historical symbolism associated with it.)

18) How many RPF stories have you written?
None. I am against RPF.

19) How many WIPs and/or series do you have posted?
None. I don't think I'd post a work in progress if it really were in progress. I might post an abandoned work that I was sure I'd never finish.

20) Do you have any fanfic that's completed but not posted to AO3?
No.

The Professionals, despite there being lots and lots of fic in that fandom.
Definitely over 5000 Pros stories — I did a very rough check via the Pros archives. *g*

Sounds interesting. I'll have to finish that series so that I can read your fic when you get there! (And I'll want to know more about those folklore-based justifications, because that's another of my favourite things right there... *g*)

I'm disappointed I missed the spam !

And how fab you posted your first meme ! I got carried away with one of my first meme attempts ages ago and posted this, which you might enjoy 😊

4) How many fandoms?
Two: The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and The Professionals

Two very discerning fandoms right there...

6) Any fandoms where you were the first to post a story for it?
Ha. Not even close.

I'm beginning to think we should start a fandom, just so we can say yes to that question...

9) How many fandoms where there are still less than 5000 stories posted for it at AO3?
The Professionals, despite there being lots and lots of fic in that fandom.

I know, it's nearly as bizarre as the Star Trek thing. I bet there would be a lot more if we could import the Circuit Archive or The Hatstand. I think it says more about the youth of AO3, than it does about the fandoms...

11) How many AUs have you written where the settings, occupations, etc are completely changed?
None. I probably won't, either, unless they're about a version of U.N.C.L.E. or CI5 in a sci-fi setting.

I know there's some sci-fi Pros out there, if you haven't already found it — I'm not sure about MFU...

13) How many stories have you written that would require an AO3 content warning?
None. I think it will be a long time before I have the confidence to write about any of the warned subjects.

I just leapt in and started slaughtering people ! Perhaps your approach is less disturbing 😊

7) How many fusion stories have you written?
None. I have some ideas for a fusion between The Professionals and His Dark Materials, featuring the members of CI5 and their dæmons. Cowley's dæmon is a Eurasian magpie named Catriona, and Doyle's is a British stoat possibly named Madeline. I'm still thinking about Bodie. (The choice for Doyle has quite a bit of interesting folklore and historical symbolism associated with it.)

I've always associated Bodie with big, soppy dogs — I'm not sure that gets you any further. The whole 'His Dark Materials' thing has passed me by, maybe I'll catch up at a later date, but I usually prefer sci-fi to fantasy.

18) How many RPF stories have you written?
None. I am against RPF.

Me too, does it creep you out too? I have to caveat that, because I'm happy to see Good Queen Bess pop up in Blackadder etc., so it's a bit hypocritical. But I do think there's a difference between historical drama and K Pop slash. I can't say what it is exactly, but the latter definitely feels icky.

That was an interesting insight into your fanworks, glad I read that 😊
