Rules: Go to your AO3 works page, expand all the filters, and answer the following questions!
FANFIC - 30 works
What’re your first and second most common work ratings?
Explicit (12)
Teen and Up Audiences (9)
I like the smut, what can I say? *put eyebrow waggling emote here*
What’s your most common archive warning?
No Archive Warnings Apply (27)
Least common?
Rape/non-con (0)
That's uh... almost certain to change at some point. I actually very much enjoy non-con/dub-con stories. Just most of the time when I want to be truly evil to a character, it's my own Aidan, who gets to be on the bad end of the stick, so thus far it hasn't spilled out into the fanfic much. Also I'm still a little shy about sharing that shit. I get some...weird comments on the kinky stuff sometimes? It makes me wary. Though admittedly so far the most "daring" thing I've shared has no comments at all. *shrug*
Do you consider yourself an adventurous writer?
To a certain extent. I enjoy my comfort zone a lot and feel ZERO shame in sticking to it much of the time, but I enjoy venturing out of it as well and I'm very proud of some of the efforts I've made outside it.
How many stories have you made in each pairing category?
M/M (20)
Other (6)
Gen (5)
F/M (4)
Multi (3)
F/F (2)
Is this more accidental, or do you have preferences?
I have a definite preference for M/M, I think the numbers make that clear, but I thoroughly enjoy all the other categories, I consider myself to be pansexual, I really like exploring gender in sex, (it's no accident "other" is next either) so even the dreaded het is fine by me!
What are your top 4 fandoms by numbers?
The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms (19)
The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time (13)
Legend of Zelda (4)
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (4)
Zelda is definitely my jam, can you tell? Though if this were complete, if I actually posted all my fanfic to AO3, My Little Pony would be at the top of that list, with 70+ stories. I've thought about uploading them all there, but it's seemed a little pointless at times, with how much bigger the interest is over on FimFiction. Maybe I will one of these days. (That would also wildly change my pairing numbers to F/F being the absolute top. But that's not really because F/F is my favorite, it's more that I just like pony characters who happen to be female. I love Luna, but I've actually written male and transgender Luna also!)
If you collapse all the Zelda fandoms down to one, the list goes
The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms (19)
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (4)
Valdemar Series - Mercedes Lackey (2)
Marvel Cinematic Universe (2)
Are you still active in any of them, and do you tend to migrate a lot?
Once a fan, always a fan. I mean I'm writing stuff in 2019 for a "fandom" I first encountered and fell in love with in 1986. My specific interest waxes and wanes, I'm barely writing ponyfic at all right now, for example, but I never drop a fandom completely.
What are your top 4 relationship tags?
Link/Sheik (Legend of Zelda) (9)
Dark Link/Link (Legend of Zelda) (6)
Link/Vaati (5)
Link/Zelda (Legend of Zelda) (3)
Does this match how you feel about the characters, or are you puzzled?
It's just as expected, yep. Link/Sheik is absolutely my thing (Sheik in general, and the gender-bendyness of his co-existence with Zelda is <3 Two out of three of the "Zelda" tags on there are for versions of Zelda that are very much Sheik also at times.) Dark Link is awesome. And Link/Vaati is my favorite crackship.
What are your top 2 most used additional tags, and your bottom 2?
Romance (13)
Anal Sex (5)
and
Vampires (3)
BDSM (3)
Ahem. I did mention I like smut? Yes. I like smut. And kink. And definitely vampires. I need more vampire Dark Link stories.
What would happen if you combined all 4 of these into an fic?
All I'd have to do would be to keep on writing the characters from Ouroboros and that'd definitely be where it ends up. It's already got two out of the three, it just needs BDSM, and I think it's already tagged with "D/s themes" or something like that? Primal dominant Link is mmmmmmmmmmmmm.
How many WIPs do you have currently running on AO3? Any you don’t plan on finishing?
Two, Kiss Against the Wall, my original fic, and Building Power, the BDSM AU Thorki fic. Both are finished, I just like having something to post every week, so I don't post all in one go, I trickle them out. :3
I've learned from hard, bad experience to never begin posting something before I've finished the rough draft. People will be REALLY fucking demanding and rude about unfinished fics! And while the fact that they love it enough to want more is lovely, the pressure, stress, and attempted guilt-tripping is just no fun at all. So I don't do that anymore. It's a bit sad, I have some WIPs that might be fun to share as I worked along, but I just do not deal well with people harping on me to finish stuff they're not even paying for. My customers are allowed to ask if it's done yet (and funnily enough my two big repeat regulars never do) but randos reading for free are not.
Although I've been thinking of mass-dumping all my unfinished ponyfics at the end of Season 9, when Friendship is Magic wraps up. There are a lot of those I've abandoned, but they still might be fun to share, with little "and here's how it would have ended if I'd had the time/energy to finish it" synopses at the ends, probably.
