I'm tired, so this will eb brief. but it will *be*!

I finished a fic! Technically I 'finished' it yesterday, but I did some revision today and I think it is better for it. I'll post tomorrow, as it is for a tumblr 'event' (Voltron!). It's even smut! I hadn't written anything since August, and nothing smutty since April, I guess. It feels longer :o

I did some more dyeing, finishing up with my walnuts. I now have the stuff for dad's scarf, and I can wind that and warp my loom as soon as the darker skein is finished drying. I think I might have made the skein that is supposed to be lighter a little *too* dark, and it may lose contrast in some places.... hopefully it sill still look good as a houndstooh. I also dyed a skein for socks, which turned out a lovely dark golden brown. I know the pattern I want to use if I can get ahold of it....

And tonight I went to a local friend's graduation party - she is now a doctor of philosophy too (history)! It was cool, though I think I almost completely failed to interact with people I didn't already know. I ate many (too many) snacks, and am stuff very full. But it was nice to go out. I still have such complicated feelings about my own degree. She is doing a much better job on following up/following through, and I wish he luck making her career!

(Look an update! \o/!)

AO3 meme via musefoool:

1. What’s your first and second most common work ratings? Any surprises?

General Audiences (219)
Explicit (46)

Seems about right. Teen and up is in a close third.

2. What’s your most common archive warning? Least common? Do you consider yourself an adventurous writer?

Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings (28)
Huh. Though I think some of those are just me forgetting to click a box. This is discounting 'no archive warnings apply', of course, which is a vast majority. Next after that is graphic violence.... which is probably under-tagged, tbh. I *can* be an adventurous writer, but I'm not always.


3. How many fics have you written in each relationship category? Is this more accidental, or do you have preferences?

Gen (177)
F/M (83)
M/M (46)
Multi (16)
F/F (13)
Other (7)

I'm not super surprised... I don't think it is necessarily on purpose, though. As for preferences... More about the dynamics. I really am surprised that Gen is so dominant, though! I would have expected m/m to be up there more.

4. What are your top 4 fandoms by numbers? Are you still active in any of them, and do you tend to migrate a lot?

Diablotin (85)
Adventure World (game) (45)
Dungeons & Dragons (Roleplaying Game) (24)
Inception (2010) (9)

I'm still active in Diablotin, but my focus there has changed a lot wth the different campaigns. I suspect I may write more AW again when the new game starts, too. Some of those D&D tags are on Adventure World or Diablotin fics, so I'm not really sure it should count! The next one after that is NIght Vale. I'm surprised Inception is still so high up there - those are all drabbles from an old LJ comm. I haven't written for it in ages. Other than 'games I'm in,' I'm all over the place for fandoms, though thwre are some that pop up in exchanges and such a lot. I'm also surprised Books of the Raksura aren't hgher up the list by now.

5. What are your top character tags? Does this match how you feel about the characters, or are you puzzled?

Original Characters (30)
Vedran Callais (26)
Sanadhìl Órecalo (18)
Original Female Character(s) (8)

Hah. Yet both of those named characters are in canonical m/m and m/m/f relationships, so I am again surprised by the relationshp stats! Maybe's its all the drabbles.

6. What are your top 2 most used additional tags, and your bottom 2? What would happen if you combined all 4 of these into a fic?

Top 2:
Drabble (149)
Family (22)

Bottom 2:
Parenthood (7)
Oral Sex (7)


Uhhh. Awkward! Probably a drabble with parents making sex jokes around their adult children? Or somoene giving sex advice? Or else something terrible ;p

7. How many WIPs do you have currently running on AO3? Any you don’t plan on finishing?
One, that is abandoned and marked as so. I wish I had the energy to sustain it, but I tried ones to pick it back up and I failed. Although I saw it differently than a WiP - I was imagining it more like a serial story. And there is a conceptual difference there, to me, anyway. Like, it was less a 'work in progress' and more 'story so far'. Anyway, it is never getting "finished" or worked on again, which is a shame because I put a lot of thought and work into it. It is still my longest story on AO3.

In other AO3 news, I posted my Sexus fic for the Haxus Mini Event today, which is over here on the off chance that someone else might want to look at it ;p

I also passed the half way mark on Pulled by the Sunset! Sooooon.... like probably it will be of the needles by next weekend @_@

Today was also the last session for Thirteen. Weh! But a new Adventure World game is going to be starting up soonish, so that will hopefully be fun. I'm going to play a hobgoblin sorta priest of the ancestors who hears voices and practices ritual cannibalism. His name is Corivan and he wears a lot of skulls and fur because aesthetic.
