AO3 meme!

(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.

changing it up!

This was a larp weekend! Technically the next game is in two weeks, but I've already told myself no. I'm going away to Toronto for the weekend with Nary the following weekend, and then back to Toronto with geek girls folks the weekend after *that* (just a day trip though). That's too many weekends away, I think, and too close together. ON the other hand, what's one more? :V

We're on our final storyline for Thirteen, and I'm sad :/ I really liked that game! But I think the GM was finding it hard to sustain, in terms of coming up with stories, and not get sidetracked into worldbuilding. So we're going to go back to Adventure World and do something set in that campaign world's early history. I think it is going to be sort of another kingdom-level game too, like the Scaermar game I was in a few years ago in College Station. We're using the Game of Thrones RPG rules this time, which will be interesting. Our GM is going to need to write up a lot of stuff, so we'll see how that goes ;) Another option that was tossed around was going back to Ashland, but I don't think we have the right mix of players for it, unfortunately. I'm not really sre we have enough players for this new game either, but I guess we'll see.

In non-gaming news.... I bleached the underside of my hair on a whim! Longpig was doing her roots, but since she basically has no hair these days there was a loooot of bleach left over. So hey! Now the underside of my hair is blond. Not platinum blond, because my hair doesn't do that, but really frickin' blond comparatively. I'll try and get a picture tomorrow when it is all dry. Next step - get some good green hair dye, or mix up some green and black, maybe..... I'm going to try and get to Sally Beauty some day after work this week, assuming they are open late enough! Otherwise, it'll be the weekend.

For now though - bedtime! I'm still wrecked from LARP @_@

December 22: Kallista giving romantic advice to someone of my choice

December 6 - Tell me more about Jesseryn's family

Today, [personal profile] kennesaw asked me to tall him more about Jesseryn's family.

For the record, Jesseryn is the father of the character I play bin a game [personal profile] kennesaw runs, Vedran Callais. But I rather suspect he does not want me to talk about Vedran *more*, but rather the other members of the family, espescially extending into the older generations, so here we go... )

Plenty of spots to claim! (On DW|On LJ)

Tormented Dreams :p

I have this problem where I can never sleep well on Sunday nights and it makes my Mondays extra crap. Today was also full of legitimate annoyances stopping me from getting stuff done, but the poor sleep just piles on the cranky. Sunday is also my weekly 4th ed. D&D game that has now been running for 2 or three years now? Oh may I just looked and it started in August 2011. I started later than that, but only by a few months. I think it may officially be my longest running game ever, at this point!

Anyway, I often have trouble sleeping after gaming nights because my head is just full of characters and stories and stuff, so that's nothing really new. last night we ended early though, and I actually got to decompress and knit for a while instead of staying up too late talking about game, but that didn't seem to help -_-

Game blather that got a little out of hand @_@ )

So there's an example of how I over-complicate characters in my head and it keeps me from sleeping :p
