I've stolen this from hbbo, although apparently I'm late to the party. On brand! I haven't posted anything on AO3 since August because divorce, but it's fun to do writing-adjacent tasks.
I have 49 works posted on AO3.
What’re your first and second most common work ratings?
Explicit (14)
General audiences (14)
Huh. That's a lot more GA than I would have expected but it looks like most of them are 221Bs, which I was really into for a while.
What’s your most common archive warning?
No Archive Warnings Apply (41)
Least common?
Major Character Death (1).
Do you consider yourself an adventurous writer?
I think so? Mostly, I write to challenge myself, on terms I set myself, and to not be bored. So it's usually an adventure for me, regardless of what readers think. A few times I've tried to write sequels for stuff that has been popular with readers, but I've usually worked out whatever was challenging and interesting in the first place by then, so the sequels aren't "adventurous" for me, and I get bored, and the work isn't as good.
How many stories have you made in each pairing category?
What are your top 4 fandoms by numbers?
Are you still active in any of them, and do you tend to migrate a lot?
I'm still active in Sherlock insomuch as it remains my fandom home (I'm going to 221B Con in a few weeks!). I'd definitely say I'm not as active as I once was, and that I'm more a fan of my little corner of fandom than I am of the show itself. I've got a johnlock WIP sort of half written right now, but after that I don't have huge plans for more writing in that fandom (although you never know). I think I've mostly worked out what I needed to work out, and learned what I needed to learn from it, as per the adventurous writer question above. I dabble with other fandoms, but I haven't immersed myself in anything else (yet?).
What are your top 4 relationship tags?
Does this match how you feel about the characters, or are you puzzled?
That's about right, although Molly/Greg is almost always a background ship for me. I don't think I've ever written them in a particularly thoughtful or central way. I wouldn't suggest reading my stuff for that ship. Oh, and my Mary/John is always sort of queer/poly.
What are your top 2 most used additional tags, and your bottom 2?
Top Two:
Bottom (three-way tie):
Ahahaha. I guess The Yellow and the Black would happen.
How many WIPs do you have currently running on AO3? Any you don’t plan on finishing?
Our Secret Life is the only fic I've got marked as unfinished, but that one very deliberately avoids a narrative arc and each chapter can stand alone pretty well. It's only unfinished because I reserve the right to add to it one day. No current plans to, though.

How many stories have you made in each pairing category?
M/M (27)
F/F (9)
F/M (8)
Gen (5)
Multi (4)
Other (2)
Is this more accidental, or do you have preferences?
It hasn't been a deliberate choice to focus on m/m, but I don't think we can say that a focus on m/m ships is "accidental," either. I started out writing johnlock, which is still near and dear to my heart, but I definitely want to write more f/f if and when my brain starts writing again. (When. When.) What are your top 4 fandoms by numbers?
Conflating all the Sherlock Holmes-related fandoms to one:
Sherlock Holmes (34)
Sherlock Holmes (34)
Kingsman (Movies) (3)
Game of Thrones (TV) (2)
James Bond (Craig movies) (2)

What would happen if you combined all 4 of these into a fic?Ahahaha. I guess The Yellow and the Black would happen.
