Rules: Go to your AO3 works page, expand all the filters, and answer the following questions!

What’re your first and second most common work ratings?
Teen and Up Audiences (117)
General Audiences (62)
Look, I don't write explicit anything in most stories, and think teens are capable of consuming mature content, considering what-all I was reading and writing in my teens. But also I write an egregious amount of self-reflective interiority-heavy stuff.

What's your most common archive warning?
No Archive Warnings Apply (192)
However, I am really not one of those people for whose fic you should assume that this signals a fluffy read; I am fairly capable of angst and dread and general awful while skating clear of death, violence, noncon and underage sex.

Do you consider yourself an adventurous writer?
Nope.

How many fics have you written in each pairing category?
M/M (103)
Gen (86)
F/M (33)
Multi (17)
Other (5)
F/F (4)
Okay, so the F/M and Multi numbers are faintly surprising. I am absolutely unsurprised by the very low F/F, since writing that feels like disembowelling and displaying myself.

What are your top 4 fandoms by numbers?
The Charioteer - Mary Renault (51)
Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling (45)
Alexander Trilogy - Mary Renault (33)
Mahabharata - Vyasa (25)
Surprising absolutely nobody who knows me at all, I tend to write in fandoms where I am comfortable and in conversation with people. I would be shocked if Mahabharata numbers didn't creep up substantially over the year, as it is it's only that low because I've been clubbing all my tumblr-fic in a single story unlike in older fandoms; go up by thirty if I post my current drabbles separately.

Are you still active in any of them, and do you tend to migrate a lot?
Yes, and not as a writer; I read polyfannishly but am rarely confident enough to write much.

What are your top 4 relationship tags?
Alexander the Great/Hephaistion (19)
Ralph Lanyon/Laurie Odell (15)
Sirius Black/Remus Lupin (14)
Alexander the Great/Bagoas (10)

Does this match how you feel about the characters, or are you puzzled?
Roughly? I mean, I shipped them when I wrote them, and yeah tbh it matches except I don't just ship people I think are good for each other. None of these but would be better served finding someone substantially less fucked-up.

What are your top 2 most used additional tags, and your bottom 2?
Drabble (19)
Hindu Character (15)
5 Things (6)
Christian Character (6)
I... am very curious as to when and why I bothered tagging Christian characters.

What would happen if you combined all 4 of these into a fic?
Your guess is as good as mine? Probably a drabble-series about Kaminey.

How many WIPs do you have currently running on AO3? Any you don’t plan on finishing?
Well, there are six, and never say never, but I'm only working on one of those. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Interesting! I'm really loving reading people's answers to these.

I... am very curious as to when and why I bothered tagging Christian characters.

And I got a laugh out of this because I likewise found some stray tags in mine where I couldn't quite fathom why I bothered tagging some fics for a random quality but not others.
