I nicked this from beatrice_otter!

1. What rating do you write most of your fics under?

General Audiences by a long shot ... but I have a second account for anything rated E. Which isn't much, but I split it out a few years ago on account of being An Aspiring Author Of Works For Young Readers, and will at some stage get around to archive-locking those fics.

2. What are your top three fandoms?
  1. Doctor Who
  2. Legend of Korra
  3. Avatar: the Last Airbender
This may come as a surprise to the people who know me as A Star Trek Person, but quite a lot of my Discovery fics are over on the other account. Discovery, at 17 fics, is tied with Harry Potter in fourth place -- and I think I've actually written more HP fics, I just stopped importing them to AO3 because *waves hands at JKR ruining everything*
3. What is the top character you write about?

Super embarrassing, turns out it's the Tenth Doctor. But that's because I tended to ship him with female characters I was obsessed with, so let me note that Lin Beifong and Romana are tied for second place, and then Martha Jones and Katrina Cornwell are tied for third.

(I do not ship Lin or Katrina with the Tenth Doctor, I think they'd both very quickly get fed up with him.)

4. What are the top three pairings you write about?

Okay, this one shocked me.
  1. Mai/Zuko (that makes sense! I wrote a lot for those two!)
  2. Lin Beifong/Tenzin (sure!)
  3. Sherlock Holmes/Mary Russell (this is embarrassing)
Because I tend to fixate on a character and then multiship them, my pairing stats tend to be a bit more diffuse than character stats.
5. What are the top three additional tags?
  1. Crack (does anyone else feel like the use of "crack" to denote silly, non-canonical or absurd pairings or fics might be racially insensitive? Or am I wrong in thinking its origins lie in "this is so silly, I may as well have been smoking crack when I wrote it"?)
  2. Canon Character of Colour (thank you, Avatarverse)
  3. Post-Canon
6. Did any of this surprise you?

Yeah, a male character as my number one most-tagged? Genuinely shocking, and I think I need to write two more Lin Beifong fics so she can take first place.

Actually, if I combined Romanas and included, say, Romana regenerations I made up myself, she's probably safely in the number one spot. BUT NOT OFFICIALLY. So embarrassing.

lizbee: (LoK: Lin smiling)
Probably not by coincidence, starting my new job coincided with a creative slump and a mild fibro flare-up. (Yes, the two are related!)

I am FINALLY emerging from both, thanks in part to my new habit of keeping a journal that tracks both pain and plot bunnies. I should be working on one of my novels, but what I've actually achieved is 1000 words of really schmoopy Lin/Tenzin where they are in love and trying quite hard not to repeat the mistakes of their youth, and also to not leave Tenzin's kids with any new neuroses, and also the world is kind of, "Really?" at Tenzin daring to fall in love again after his sainted wife passed away and all.

(Because I am a contrarian, I seem to end up with a lot of oppositional headcanons, one being that -- instead of regretting that Lin and Tenzin broke up and secretly hoping they get back together -- most people who know them greet the news of a reunion with feelings on a spectrum from Strong Concern to Setting Up Bomb Shelters And Organising An Intervention. Except Korra, obviously.)
